We have a company monitor our home, but I can also turn heat, alarms, etc...on/off with my phone...keep the house at 55 during the winter, and we also have water tabs on the basement floor, that will alert our alarm co. if water is present...We have a Samsung camera system to monitor the inside...I love that! I can go online and look in the house for any disturbances...We use an answering machine to figure out if the power is out (don't want to run out of propane if it's on generator)...if the answering machine answers, there's power...works very well for us
