Have you ever been in your car headed to work and wondered “Did I shut the garage door?” We all have done it, and grudgingly turned the car around to “double check”. Fast forward to the technologically spoiled world we live in today and you can “double check” your garage door without turning the car around.

The most recent improvements in home security include the remote access module. This handy product allows you to call your alarm system via your cell phone to “double check” the security status of your home!

The technology is offered by numerous different Security System providers, so it is smart to do your “shopping around” before you purchase that “smart” product for your home. The other key element you will need is a “smartphone” - a phone that is on a high speed network and that also has a bigger screen to view large downloads, a phone like the Apple iPhone or Motorola’s Q phone.
