Core Features to Consider

• Monitoring Type: Choose between self-monitoring via a mobile app or 24/7 professional back-to-base monitoring.

• Backup Connectivity: Ensure the system includes battery backup and a cellular (4G/GSM) SIM slot, so it works during power or internet outages.

• Integration: Look for compatibility with smart home platforms like Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or local lighting automation.

Combining electronic alarm systems with CCTV systems and physical reinforcements—such as secure window latches, solid core doors, and outdoor sensor lighting—provides the most comprehensive protection.
