GE Security System Wireless – Functions & Features
by: Owen Walcher
If you think GE security system wireless products cost more than what the average homeowner could afford, think again. The appliance giant has now come up with many affordable whole home security choices. One example is the GE security system wireless product called Simon 3.
For around $210 you can get a complete home GE security system wireless product that can stay up 24/7. Backed by the GE name, it’s reliable and is one of the most advance systems in the market today. What’s more, it’s easy to install yourself. Listen to the voice prompted setup, follow the instructions, and you’re good to go!
GE Security System Wireless Capabilities
With the Simon 3, your GE security system wireless protection communicates with the central station, your phone/pager, or both. The Simon 3 will:
- Alert you to an intruder
- Signal fire or carbon monoxide
- Control home appliances and lights
The Simon 3’s great Latchkey Notification capability even alerts you if your kids didn’t get home at a preset time to disarm the feature.
GE Security System Wireless Features
Some features may depend on your chosen central station provider. A year’s worth of monitoring service usually costs around $100. Some central stations throw in additional months free of charge, so you should do a little comparative shopping.
In general, however, you get the following features with this GE security system wireless product:
- 24 available security zones
- 5 authority levels
- Remote phone control
- 2-way voice
- 24-hour backup battery
- Voice prompts while programming
- Lack of use reports
- Built in interior siren (external siren capability)
This $200 GE security system wireless kit includes a phone jack with flat cord and a user video.
GE Security System Wireless Supplements
GE security system wireless products can alert you to intruders. But you should also take advantage of their deterrent capabilities by warning potential intruders that you have a security system set up.
The Simon 3 kit comes with four free security stickers for your windows. But you should also consider setting up security yard signs, for instance, which cost only $10 each or less.
Hint: See if you can have your homeowner’s insurance premium adjusted for any additional security features you set up. Some homeowners find that a security system more than pays for itself by cutting as much as 20% off their premiums.
