The hardware is inexpensive and the monthly monitoring fee is lower than a cellular plan. Call or email to discuss which technology piece you need help with and we can get you pricing in a jiffy.
Be alerted to changes in temperature, moisture, water leaks, and unexpected power outages
Wi-fi Vs Cellular Monitoring?
Wi-Fi devices can be unreliable because they rely on the internet and power, so if either goes down you are left wondering if your device is crying wolf again, or if you have a real issue on your hands. Cellular systems send alerts over cellular networks, even when power and internet go down.
Cellular devices with battery backup will continue to operate during power outages for up to 48 hours. What this means for you is that you can have peace of mind knowing that even during power outages or internet disruptions, your cellular devices will remain operational and capable of sending alerts. You won’t have to worry about being left in the dark during critical moments.
