My hubby and I use to talk, back before we owned our first home, about how we would keep our home safe once we owned one. We always thought we would have a huge need for a home security system. Once we moved in our home my husband ended up having to travel 5 days a week and I got pregnant for Maddie. So I looked into ADT and the possibilities that they offer. We decided at that time sole on saving money not to go that route.
Now I often wonder what it would have been like to have had a system even in this super safe neighborhood we live in where neighbors look out for each other. ADT now offers so many great features to their systems and the technology has gotten better over the last 7 years. One of the new features that I think is so great is called the safepass. It is essentially like a magnetic key thing that you wave in front of the alarm to disarm it. I am assuming a lot like the fast pay that you can now do with credit cards at stores. I know that would make using the alarm for someone like me with 3 kids and always an arm full.
If we were to ever get an alarm in our house it would be for so many reasons beyond the security thing. It would also give us a much more reliable fire detector and even help keep our children safe in their home where they belong at appropriate times as they grow. When the time comes for us to find a new home it might be an avenue that we look into depending on the location of the home. I think if we are on a busy street it would be a huge help in that secure feeling we all strive for. Here is a picture and a little more info about Safe Pass looks cool to me!
