If you are among the 40% of Americans who worry on what transpires in your home whenever you are resting, working in the office or on a trip, then you may need wireless monitoring systems installed.

Basically, these remote sensors are installed around your house and  can work by alerting or informing you if your sink is overflowing, garage door is open, basement is flooding or an intruder has entered your house. The alerts can be sent to you or the authorities via email, text message, etc. You can also see what’s happening in or outside your home by viewing the videos and images on a secure web page.

There are various types of wireless monitoring systems on the market today that can easily be installed as well as utilized by homeowners. Here are some of suggestions from Wilson Rothman of The Old House.

A system that works on radio frequency technology. This involves a ‘base station’ that monitors several sensors that you can install around your home. Various sensors on multiple locations in your home can alert you if your toilet has a leak, your windows are open, temperature has a significant drop and floor has been flooded.

You can also make use of the various systems’ range of add-ons. You can install motion detectors to alert you of any movement in your home when your preparing for sleep. There is the tilt sensor which you can place in your garage and the lid sensor in your jewelry box. There is a power sensor to let you know if your appliances are still on. There are wireless water sensors which you can install in places where leaks are common.

You can install cameras and sensors. This is for those who wish to view what is happening in or outside their homes. With just a broadband internet connection, you can view and monitor your home on a secure web page anywhere. Wilson Rothman suggests AT&T Remote Monitor and iControl Networks as providers of secure web pages.

If the price value of wireless monitoring systems is a bit too much and outweighs your need for them, you can also choose common Burglar alarms or home security systems. While the new technologies provide a more detailed view and monitoring of your home, traditional security systems remain highly effective and practical. via [The Old House]
