When considering your home security needs, it is very important to consider ALL of the inhabitants of your home. That means when you are customizing your home security system it is important to consider your furry friends. Gone are the days of the simple "guard dog", these days most of us regard our pets as family members. An ADT Pulse home security system will not only protect your home and your family, it can be customized to allow you the piece of mind that your pets are safe, sound and comfortable when they are home alone.
Monitoring Your Pets Environment
The terrifying reality is that if you aren't home and a fire occurs, your pets will likely be trapped until someone notices the fire, calls in the emergency and the fire department arrives. Imagine if you could minimize the time it would take for your pets to be rescued? Including a monitored smoke detector in your home security system will insure that help is dispatched at the first signs of smoke and fire as well as notify you, maximizing your pets chance of survival. Monitored fire protection saves lives and is essential to keeping your pet safe.
You can also control your pets environment from the your mobile device with ADT Pulse® Interactive Solutions. Our home security systems offer thermostat control features that can help you maintain your home's temperature no matter where you are. Coming home late? An ADT Pulse home security system will also allow you to control the lights in your home so that your pets aren't left in the dark.
If you would like to know EXACTLY what your furry friend is up to while you are off at your 9 to 5, you might want to consider adding a few ADT Pulse cameras to your home security system. This surprisingly afford component will allow you the utmost piece of mind with the ability to stream live footage from your home as well as review recorded events. You also might find your pet is on top of the couch or table.... bad doggy!
Five tips to Customizing a Pet Friendly Home Security System
- Be sure to advise your California Security Pro security consultant if you have a pet during your free home security review. Knowing the weight of your pet, as well as whether they have free reign of the house or are confined when you are away is important information to provide your consultant as your monitored motion detector will need to be strategically placed.
- Ask for information on our pet immune motion detectors. While small pets will likely not set off a standard motion detector, most pet immune motion detectors are ideal for pets under 60 pounds. There are 85lb pet immune motions available for medium sized dogs.
- Do you have a Saint Bernard? If you have a BIG dog that roams the house, DON'T NIX THE MOTION! Consider placing a motion detector in the master bedroom and shutting the door allowing you to still reap the benefits of this essential home security component.
- If you have a dog walker, create a unique code for that person. Its nice to know who is coming in an out of the home and when. If you opt for an ADT Pulse home security system, you can arm and unarm the system from your mobile device when the dog walker arrives and then leaves. You can also add an ADT Pulse deadbolt lock for keyed or keyless entry and the ability to lock or unlock your door from your mobile device. This can also be a great feature if you have someone care for your pets when you go on vacation. This eliminates the need for a key exchange.
- TAKE ADAVANTAGE OF THE TEST MODE. If you opt to have an alarm installed take advantage of the time frame you have BEFORE the alarm goes live to get a feel for things. On a rare occasion, a pet owner with a 40 pound dog will find that their dog transforms into an acrobat when home alone. If you are having issues with a pet setting off a motion detector, contact your alarm company to discuss your options as simply repositioning the motion can often resolve the issue.
