Home Security Isn’t Just for Catching Crime

It’s a common misconception that home security systems are only for catching burglars and intruders. But that’s simply not true! You can use a smart security system to protect your home from all sorts of dangers and threats, from fires to floods to frozen pipes. 

If you often worry about your Brentwood, TN home and family inside, an Alarm.com home security installation can provide much-needed peace of mind. Below, we share how you can access fire alarms, gas detectors, water sensors, and more, all from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Stop Water Damage 

Flooding and leaks are some of the biggest culprits of property damage. But with a leak detector integrated into your Alarm.com security system, you’ll prevent misery and ruin before it’s too late. You can remotely check leak sensors via the Alarm.com app and receive instant notifications if any excess water is detected. From there, you can shut off the water right from the Alarm.com system!

Where should you install leak sensors? Consider the laundry room, bathroom, under sinks, in the water heater closet, and in the basement. If you happen to be away from home while a leak is detected, you can check the situation through surveillance cameras and call for help straight away. 

Catch Gas Leaks & Smoke Detection 

An Alarm.com system can be lifesaving, too. Smart gas detectors will alert your system if it notices smoke, explosive gas, or carbon monoxide in the air. If you hire alarm monitoring services, a professional agent will catch the alarm even if you miss it and call the authorities. A home security company like Symspire can help install these safety devices into one easy-to-use system for you. 

And if your burnt dinner accidentally sets off the fire alarms? You can cancel a fire alarm immediately with Alarm.com’s Smart Signal, halting any false alarms. 

Manage Your HVAC & Water 

You can just as easily control your heating and cooling through the Alarm.com interface, whether you’re using your smartphone or wall control panel. Even if you’re away for the weekend, check on your home’s HVAC anytime. Did you accidentally leave the heat or AC on? Turn it off with one tap of a button! In winter, you’re free to swiftly shut off the water valve with one press of a button, preventing frozen pipes.
