Cell phone companies announced that the shutdown of third-generation, or "3G," wireless network will be complete by the end of 2022. This shutdown will not occur all at once. It will appear sporadically across the country and on January 1, 2023, the 3G wireless network will cease to exist. 4G service is becoming the default for most devices that are released into the marketplace, for the simple reason that 4G is both faster and more efficient. And now, as the 5G build-out begins, it is getting more and more difficult for the carriers to justify keeping their 3G services operations. Why does the 3G Sunset affect alarm systems? Wireless alarm systems communicate via cellular networks like the 3G and 4G networks. Many wireless alarm systems were installed with a 3G compatible GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) device that can only communicate via the 3G wireless network. Therefore, when the 3G network ceases to exist on January 1, 2023, these alarm systems will no longer be able to communicate alarm signals. What do you need to do? Contact us, we will discuss the next step in upgrading your system (if needed) and making sure your alarm system will be protected from the elimination of the 3G wireless network.

With advanced access control and a discreet connection to events at home, an Alarm.com-powered security system is just what you need for peace of mind through this parenting milestone.

When you get that call at work, it'll cut your day short. With smart home security, your tween doesn't even need a key. All she has to do is enter her personalized four-digit user code into the smart lock . You can even automate the security system to disarm when she unlocks the door, so she doesn't set off the alarm. 2: No wondering if they made it home For peace of mind, it's essential that you know when your child arrives home. However, checking in by phone every day can be a drag. Alarm.com can solve this challenge with a customized smartphone alert, triggered by your tween's user code . When they arrive home and unlock the door, you'll know. When you become more comfortable, you can even switch to a no-show alert, which notifies you only if they're late. 3: You can still be the gatekeeper When the kids are home without parents, it's common to worry about what they'll do if the doorbell rings — and whether they'll follow your safety instructions. With a video doorbell powered by Alarm.com , you can still be your house's gatekeeper. When a visitor rings, you can be first to answer through the doorbell's speaker, and see exactly who's there on a live video feed to your smartphone.

Now you're a parent, you get it: allowing unvetted visitors can leave too much to chance. Playing video games is one thing; raiding the man cave fridge for sodas is another. When the time comes for your older tween to have the privilege of hosting friends alone, smart home security lets you keep a discreet eye on things. With contact sensors available for forbidden rooms, and easy video monitoring inside and outside , it's easy to give your trust a boost by quickly checking into your Alarm.com app. 5: It's reassuring for you both Finally, to put things into our kids' perspective—do you remember how being home alone used to feel? It was absolutely liberating—and yet, also a little strange and unsettling. Knowing that you're still connected to home can go a long way in making your kids feel safer and more secure there. While new-found freedom is great, freedom with a slice of reassurance is even better—both for your kids, and for you. Interested in smart home security? If your last experience of a security system was an outdated, wired system, you'll be surprised at what a modern system can do. Give us a call at 877.698.1854 to learn more.
