Environmental Alarms
Today's homeowners can keep tabs on the environmental condition of their properties by integrating this function into their alarm system. Perfect for snowbirds or families that travel frequently, environmental alarms can help protect against frozen pipes and water damage by alerting of temperature extremes and help preserve documents, furniture and artifacts by notifying of high-reaching humidity levels.
What is an Environmental Alarm?
Designed to supplement your home alarm system, environmental monitoring provides you with peace of mind while away on vacation or busy at work. Whether it is your primary home or a summer cottage, the detection of environmental trouble can help minimize property damage and the headaches related to extensive repairs.
- Temperature: Monitor highs and lows within an area or the entire house using sensors set to advise when levels vary outside of pre-determined settings.
- Humidity: Be aware of the moisture in the air both "highs and lows" with an output switch that can easily be wired to an existing alarm panel.
- Chemicals: Receive alerts of chemical conditions that can result from storage of paints, pool supplies and many more common household substances. Homeowners can even be alerted to the absence of a chemical if necessary.
- Water: Should the pipes burst or the sewer back up, homeowners can minimize damage if unwanted water is detected quickly.
