Labor Day is over and fall is here, so we wanted to make a post about Fire safety.
We know how everyone loves burning those amazing scented fall candles, and while they make our homes smell great and feel cozy, they can also be a major fire hazard. It is important to follow these rules when enjoying your favorite fall scents.

-Always keep a burning candle within sight. Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep.

-Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Place candles away from
drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.

-Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Don’t place lighted candles where they might be knocked over by children or pets.

-Trim candlewicks to ¼ inch each time before burning. Long or crooked wicks cause
uneven burning and dripping.

-Never extinguish candles with water. The water can cause the hot wax to splatter and might cause a glass container to break.

-Test your smoke alarms and make sure they are all working properly in case an accident were to occur.

We all love our furry friends and they’re just as much family as humans! With our total connect cameras, you can monitor your dog while away and even take action if your dog gets into something! With the built in 2 way audio, you can hear what is going on in the recording as well as actually speak through the camera from the Total Connect App. By being able to interact with your pet so easily, it can keep your mind at ease during the day and is a great way to make sure they are safe until you get home!

Picture this scary situation in which an intruder follows you into your house and forces you to disarm your alarm system.

While hopefully this never happens to you, it is always good to be prepared just in case! A duress code is a 4 digit “false” code that disarms your system and sends a HELP signal to our monitoring station to dispatch police immediately.

After entering your duress code, the system appears to disarm normally, so the intruder will think they are in the clear. In the meantime, the monitoring station contacts the local authorities for dispatch without calling you to verify, potentially tipping off the intruder.

Back to school is right around the corner!

Lets face it, kids are known to misplace their house keys, and this could result in being locked out of the house after school. If you don’t have smart locks already, back to school could be the perfect time to add them to your Howland alarm system. You could also consider placing a camera at the front door to see them arrive home for bigger peace of mind.

If you do not already have a smart alarm system, the start of the school year is a great time to consider having one installed. This can make the start of going back to school way less hectic for children and parents too!
