Home Security System

Overview

The Silver Package is the second of four levels of perimeter protection offered by Protect America. The perimeter packages were designed to provide enough door and window sensors so that you can place a sensor on all of your doors and windows. In this case, the Silver Package provides a total of 10 door/window sensors and would be the right package if your home has a total of 10 doors and windows combined. This gives you protection at each point of entry into your home. If you prefer, you can also add a motion detector to any of our packages to meet your specific security needs. You can customize your system by adding additional equipment at the time the order is placed or anytime in the future.

Monitoring

Standard Monitoring: All of our security system packages include a standard talking command station which uses your landline telephone connection to communicate with our monitoring facility. Anytime the security system is triggered, the command station sends a signal through the landline phone to our monitoring facility and notifies us about a problem in your home. Depending on the nature of the problem, our monitoring facility will respond to your alarm and dispatch the emergency authorities to your home if necessary. Please visit the How It Works page to learn more on the steps we take when responding to an alarm at your home.



Two-Way Voice Monitoring: ^$5 extra per month. Protect America offers Two-way Voice Monitoring Service with our GE security system. This service allows our monitoring center to communicate with you directly when you need it most. When the alarm is triggered at your home, the security system uses your landline phone to send the signal to our monitoring facility. Once we have received that signal, our monitoring facility will be able to communicate with you directly through the talking command station to verify the problem and respond accordingly. Two-Way Voice Monitoring Service comes with the GE Simon XT talking command station and requires a landline telephone connection.



HomePulse Broadband Monitoring: ^$5 extra per month. No Phone, No Problem! Protect America is proud to offer our HomePulse Broadband Monitoring service with our home security system. Now you can connect your security system directly into an available port on your modem or router to provide your home and family with protection 24 hours, 7 days a week. With HomePulse, anytime the alarm is triggered, your security system sends the signal through your broadband Internet connection and notifies our monitoring facility of the problem at your house. The HomePulse Broadband Monitoring Service provides your security system with a much faster connection to the monitoring facility and is capable of notifying us of a problem at least four times faster than a landline connection. HomePulse requires an equipment upgrade from the standard command station. HomePulse is not compatible with the GE Simon XT command station. The presence of a Broadband Internet connection and an available port from a router or modem is necessary.



Cellular Monitoring: ^$15 extra per month. With our Cellular monitoring solution we offer true flexibility for home security monitoring service. There is no need for any type of home phone service or internet connection, because with cellular monitoring our GE home security system will have a dedicated wireless connection between your home and our central monitoring facility. When you select our Cellular monitoring service you will receive an upgraded GE Simon XT command station with a built-in GSM cellular device. You simply plug the command station into a power outlet and everything else is completely wireless. This service is not available in all areas and requires adequate cellular phone coverage in your area.
