Today, on Intergenerational Day, we’re reminded that keeping the people we love safe can look a little different at every stage of life. ❤️

For families with aging parents or grandparents together under one roof, smart security technology can provide an extra layer of reassurance while still allowing loved ones to maintain their independence.

Smart alarm and monitoring systems can help you:

✅ Receive alerts when unusual activity is detected
✅ Monitor entrances and important areas of the home
✅ Get notified quickly in the event of an emergency
✅ Provide access to personal safety and emergency response options
✅ Stay connected even when you can’t be there in person

It’s not about watching over someone’s every move. It’s about knowing help can be there when it matters most.

At Arctic Alarm, we help families create safer, smarter homes for every generation under one roof. ❤️🏡

At Arctic Alarm, it also reminds us why we do what we do. Every security system, personal safety device and monitoring solution we install is ultimately about protecting the people who matter most.

When someone trusts us with the safety of their home, family or business, we take that responsibility to heart. From reliable security technology to 24/7 monitoring, our goal is to help provide greater peace of mind when it matters most.

Here’s to healthy hearts, safe homes and protecting what you love.

September is National Preparedness Month, and being prepared means more than planning for major disasters.

For families across the North, emergencies can come in many forms. Wildfires and evacuation alerts are an important concern, but so are house fires, carbon monoxide, break-ins, medical emergencies and other situations that can happen without much warning.

This month is a good reminder to take a few simple steps around your home.

Make sure your family has an emergency plan and knows where to meet if you need to leave quickly.

Keep an emergency kit ready with water, food, medications, flashlights, chargers, important documents and supplies for pets.

Check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors regularly.

Review your home security and make sure doors, windows and locks are secure.

If you live in an area where wildfires are a concern, know your evacuation routes, stay informed through local alerts and be ready to leave if conditions change.

A professionally monitored Arctic Alarm system can add another important layer of protection. From smoke and CO detection to security sensors, cameras and 24/7 monitoring, your system can help alert you to problems whether you’re home, asleep, at work or away.

Preparedness is about being ready for the big emergencies and the everyday ones too.

Take a few minutes this September to make sure your family, your home and your security plan are ready for whatever comes next.

With kids back in school and parents’ schedules often busier than they were during the summer, many families have children who are old enough to spend a little time home alone after school.

A little independence is a great thing, but knowing they’ve made it home safely can give parents some much-needed peace of mind. 🔒

Here are 5 things to review with your child before they’re home on their own:

1️⃣ Know the emergency plan.

Make sure they know what alarms sound like, what to do in the event of a real or false alarm, when to leave the house, who to call and where emergency numbers are kept.

2️⃣ Lock up anything that could be dangerous.

Tools, medications, fi****ms, knives and other potentially harmful items should always be safely secured.

3️⃣ Create a “home safe” routine.

Have your child lock the door, disarm or arm the system as needed and send a quick check-in once they’re inside.

4️⃣ Go over basic first aid.

Show them where the first aid kit is and talk about the difference between something they can handle themselves and something that requires an adult or emergency services.

5️⃣ Make home security part of the routine.

Lock the doors, never open the door for strangers and make sure your child knows how to properly use your alarm system.

With a smart security system from Arctic Alarm, parents can keep a closer eye on who is coming and going, receive alerts when doors are opened or the system is used, and stay connected to their home from the Alarm.com app.

And with 24/7 professional monitoring, your family has an added layer of protection even when you can’t be there yourself.

More independence for them. More peace of mind for you. 🏠🔐

The first days of a new school year are underway, and that usually means a lot more coming and going.

More doors opening and closing. More busy mornings. More kids arriving home at different times. More moments when the house may be empty, or when younger family members are home before the adults get back.

A smart alarm system from Arctic Alarm can help you keep an eye on all that activity, even when you’re not there. Check whether doors are secured, receive alerts when someone comes or goes, and enjoy extra peace of mind knowing your home is protected.

And with the last days of summer upon us, time is running out to take advantage of our ☀️ Arctic Alarm Summer Security Package for just $399.99

Includes:

• 2 door contacts
• 2 motion sensors
• Qolsys alarm panel with built-in cellular communicator

Start the school year with a little more peace of mind and a smarter way to keep watch over home.
