We are all leading increasingly busy lives and rightly concerned about rising crime rates; it is now more important than ever to be protected whilst at home and to know what’s going on there when you are away.

The award winning Intamac Home Manager, is a revolutionary smart, web-based alarm monitoring and messaging service that helps you protect your home and loved ones against the consequences of unexpected events including: burglary; physical threat or doorstep aggression - no matter where you are in the world!

The system enables you to remotely manage and monitor in real time the progress of many different events within your home; you (or designated contacts) are alerted through Home Manager’s integral messaging system via phone, email or text.

Parents can be alerted at work when children arrive home safely from school using their personalized PIN code. A temporary PIN can be activated to allow access for authorised individuals.e.g. a tradesperson, cleaner, nanny or au pair.

The system links water and smoke detectors, allowing homeowners to respond quickly to flooding or fire when away from the home, and you can have a private security guard attend your property if you are unable to respond to any alert.

With the Safe@Home feature, Home Manager monitors normal movement of an elderly person at home, and alerts you if daily routines do  not occur by a specified time each day.

The service can be customized to include inexpensive IP web cams that enable you to remotely view your home from any Internet connected device at any time.

Nothing could be worse in the run-up to the festive season than to fall victim to a burglar. Burglar alarm systems can deter potential intruders by acting as a visual as well as a physical deterrent, but they’ve always been expensive and difficult to fit, due to the amount of wiring required.

However, this wireless alarm system from Micromark is quick and easy to fit, as you don’t need to run any wires (it’s battery and solar powered) - so it’s ideal for DIY installation. Because it uses no wires at all, installing it won’t damage your decor, and you can even take it with you when you move house.

The burglar alarm system includes three wireless PIR movement sensors, one wireless magnetic door/window contact and a remote keyfob with disarm and panic button modes.

The system costs £99 from Argos - so there’s no reason not to protect your home.
