Internet Protocol (IP) communication is expanding every day. Alarm systems from WH Security that use this communication protocol are providing faster service than ever before. Systems with an IP module use the internet to communicate with the security monitoring center in seconds. IP communication also allows the user to control and monitor their home from anywhere with an internet signal by using interactive services and a mobile device.
IP Communication, when partnered with interactive services, allows users to arm or disarm their alarm system from mobile devices. Those with video security systems generate high-quality footage and can view their cameras remotely. Customers using IP systems also have the ability to add on features including opening and closing garage doors, controlling the home’s temperature and turning lights off and on when they aren’t home.
If you have an IP communicator or are thinking about switching, it’s a good idea to have your IP/computer equipment plugged into a good surge protector to prevent power surge damage. Having a backup power system is also suggested to help with short power outages, or times when your internet is down for updates or other reasons.
