Self Monitored Security Systems

These type of systems have a place in the market and they are a great option for some people:

  1. If your phone is out of range or battery you may not get a signal such as a fire alarm or flood sensor or temp sensor signal and this could cost you big money or it could be a life safety issue.

  2. Understand that in areas such as Park City most insurance companies will not accept self monitoring, they require that the system be installed a professional and monitored by a UL listed Central Station.

  3. Many self monitored systems have limitations as to the type of sensors that can be hooked up or monitored.

  4. Peak Alarm can install a professional system that can also tie to your home automation such as CONTROL 4 etc..

  5. Some sensors you may want to consider are SMOKE DETECTORS, CO DETECTORS, GAS SENSORS, WATER FLOOD SENSORS, HEAT DETECTORS, TEMPERATURE SENSORS and more.

  6. Many of the self monitored systems do not have the range for a large home like the ones that are in Park City.

  7. Many people feel that the sensors listed above are more important than the security sensors although adding panic buttons, motion detectors, glass break sensors, water shut off valves, door status switches and sensors on your gun closets or rooms can also be very important.


Installing Monitored Smoke Detectors, CO Detectors, Gas Sensors for Propane and Natural Gas can save lives and there is no price we can put on the lives of our children or the life of a dear one.
