Introducing home alarms without subscription costs

Home alarms detect attempted intrusions, using sensors and other components to ensure loud sirens scare away anyone trying to break into your property.

It’s common practise for homes to have alarms that are connected to some sort of alarm centre tasked with monitoring your property. This solution works for many households, but it does come at a monthly cost. Also, if you want to add features to a home alarm managed by an alarm centre, this typically needs to be done by a professional installer at a cost – you cannot add the features yourself. Additional components also increase monthly costs.

Fortunately, there are home alarm solutions without monthly costs or other types of subscriptions that may be tricky to get out of.

Use shell protection at night for increased safety

Shell protection is about setting up an alarm for your home that’s activated when you go to bed at night. The difference between an alarm and shell protection is that an alarm activates all the components of your system, including indoor motion detectors.

When activating shell protection, you need to select which components should be active when you sleep. For example, you don't want the alarm to go off if you wake up in the night and need to get something to drink in the kitchen. So you only select the components that should be active, such as window and door sensors monitoring entrances to the home. If you have a motion sensor in the living room, for example, it should be active only if it does not cover your path to the kitchen.

A well-functioning shell cover ensures that you and your family sleep well at night!

If you move, you take the home alarm with you free of charge

If you choose to move, you can easily take the home alarm with you and install it in your new property – without extra costs or the need to book a technician.

If you move to a larger property, it’s easy to add more alarm units to ensure sufficient protection. Don't forget that it’s also possible to add security cameras to your home alarm system so you have visual oversight of what’s happening both indoors and outdoors!
