In today’s world, security technology evolves rapidly. An alarm system that was top-of-the-line a few years ago might now have critical vulnerabilities. Protecting your property, whether it’s your home or business, requires staying current. We believe it’s crucial to recognize when your system is no longer providing adequate protection against modern threats.
It Still Relies on a Landline
Many older systems connect to monitoring centers via a landline, which can be easily disabled by cutting the wire. Modern systems use cellular or Wi-Fi connections for more reliable communication. If your security is tied to an outdated phone line, it creates a significant vulnerability that modern criminals know how to exploit easily.
You Have No Remote Access
Can you arm, disarm, or check your system’s status from your smartphone? If not, you’re missing out on a key feature of modern security. A contemporary home monitoring system provides remote access and real-time alerts, giving you peace of mind and control from anywhere, a feature essential for both homeowners and business managers.
Frequent False Alarms or Malfunctions
Constant false alarms are not just annoying; they can lead to fines and indicate that your system’s sensors or wiring are failing. An unreliable system is almost as bad as no system at all. Consistent performance is the hallmark of a dependable business alarm monitoring setup, ensuring every alert is treated with the seriousness it deserves.
Your Cameras Offer Poor-Quality Video
Grainy, low-resolution footage is of little use when trying to identify a person or read a license plate. Today’s security camera installation standards demand high-definition video, night vision, and wide viewing angles. If your cameras can’t provide clear, usable evidence, they fail at one of their most fundamental and critical security functions.
Recognizing these signs—from landline dependency to poor video quality—is the first step toward better security. An outdated alarm leaves you vulnerable, but upgrading provides peace of mind with modern features and reliability. If you’re concerned about your current setup, contact us at Landstar Telecom.
