As more households question the requirement for a fixed line phone, there has been a big spike in the use of monitored security systems that don’t utilise a landline.

Mobile telephones now outnumber fixed lines by at least two to one, according to the Australian Communications and Media Authority, with one in 5 clients considering dropping this service to save money. In the meantime, the trend away from fixed line phones has coincided with improving mobile technology and an increase in available broadband bandwidth with a fall in price.

Traditionally, monitored home security systems have been widely thought of as the most trustworthy form of home security - these are and function through a fixed phone line, but 100% wireless wireless system is the ultimate security solution for the modern house as it does not necessitate a fixed telephone line.

But you do not necessarily need a conventional landline telephone to use a monitored security alarm system nowadays.

Since a wireless burglar alarm does not have to be continually attached to a phone line, it can be used even in some critical situations. Some burglars may cut the landline before entering a home, assuming that this will also disable the security system. If the phone lines in your area are damaged, it can stop your monitored security system from reporting an emergency. A wireless burglar alarm provides both a practical and helpful solution to these problems.

Using our high-tech “Videofied” cctv security system allows enormous piece of mind for the customer, as videos are broadcast immediately (wirelessly) to your mobile phone and a monitoring station to confirm if the images are suspect in nature - and get Police there as fast as practical.

Geelong Digital Security has had this type of technology for sale to our clients for over five years, so we can afford assurances to potential clients that the system is both very secure and a trustworthy option to the conventional monitored home security system that depends upon a fixed line.

For lots of house owners, this type of thing is the news they’ve been hoping for. By cancelling their fixed line service, they can skip on costly phone line rental fees yet still guarantee their property is secured with a monitored home alarm system.

The advent of Videofied also prepares the way for the development of other security solutions which will offer people greater control of the way they manage the safety and security of their homes.

People demand creativity and better ease of use when it comes to technology products and home security is no exception to this. CCTV solutions which give homeowners the facility to remotely keep an eye on activity through a net connected computer or supported cellphone hold plenty of appeal to large amounts of people, particularly with so many spending massive long hours away from home during the day.
