Keep Your Family Safe Even When You’re Not Home!

Our Premises Monitoring System warns you of:

• Power failures
• Freezing conditions
• Water leaks/floods

And it will call you on as many as three off-site phone numbers that you program into the easy-to-set terminal when there’s a problem.



You can install this system in minutes to your existing phone line because no special wiring is required.

When the power fails, or the temperature falls below 45 degrees Fahrenheit, or it detects water with its special sensor, the device phones the off-site numbers you programmed at intervals of 5 or 15 minutes – your choice – rotating through the three numbers you set.

It’s cleverly designed with a voice that clearly identifies the specific problem, and it will keep calling for up to 10 hours.

This FCC approved device requires a 9-volt battery which is included.

This Premises Monitoring System is perfect protection for:

• Homes
• Condos
• Cabins
• Outbuildings
• Businesses…

…anyplace you need protection and a sense of security. At just over $100 each you can’t afford not to have it
