The Need for Environmental Controls

Part of home security is not only protecting your belongings such as televisions, computers, stereos, and cash from burglary, but from unfortunate acts of nature and stupidity as well! That’s where environmental control comes in.

Different types of environmental control devices allow you to monitor and possibly control temperature, thermostat, power failure, noise, water leak detection, smoke & gas, humidity, and more. And there are even some devices, such as the Sensaphone 400 (with the right accessories) which can monitor all of the above. However, the most common types of environmental control devices are the freeze and temperature alerts, plus the water and leak detectors.

When it comes to a freeze alarm, installing one can be a simple solution to a major problem.
That’s because a freeze alarm monitors the temperature in your home. There are many freeze alarms to choose from and they come in all sorts of price ranges, but most sophisticated ones operate on the same premise - The freeze alarm device alerts you, usually via phone, when the temperature inside your home drops below (or nearly below) freezing. When you receive a pre-recorded voice message from the freeze alarm, you can then remotely respond and take immediate action to protect your home.

A water or leak detector works much the same way. When its sensor detects water at a certain level, the alarm and possible phone calls activate. In some cases, you can even install a system that shuts off the water valve.

Water damage to carpets, flooring, furniture, and drywall can result from a flood mishap. In just a matter of hours your home can become a repair nightmare. Environmental control devices can prevent that from happening. If you want to protect your home, vacation cabin or cottage, trailer, or commercial building look into purchasing an environmental control device today.
