Home Security Coach

Little thought is given to phone lines and home security, but they play a crucial role in your familys safety and protection. You see even if you have a home security system thieves know that the phone line is used to transfer the signal of an alarm to a monitoring station and if they cut the phone line a signal will not be sent to the alarm monitoring station. Even if you dont have a home security system the phone line can be cut keeping you from calling the police.

Phone Lines and Your Home Security Plan


The majority of phone lines are in an accessible area outside your house. To increase your home security you want your phone lines either buried underground or shielded anywhere they can be accessed. This not only prevents a thief from tampering with the monitored part of your home alarm system, but also allows you to use the phone if necessary to alert the Police.

Modern Home Security Systems


Many modern home security systems now come with a cell phone backup that even if the phone line is cut a cell phone kicks in and communicates with the alarm monitoring company so they can send help your way. This is one way of overcoming land phone lines that are easily accessible.
