Control Your Security Alarm in Hawaii at Anytime from Anywhere

When you're traveling, thousands of miles of ocean can separate you from the home you spent your whole life saving for. Know with certainty that your castle is safe and secure, wherever you are, with Honeywell's Total Connect System from Lifeline Fire and Security Company.

With Total Connect, you can control your security alarm in Hawaii, watch live video of your home and receive security alerts through the Internet or a smart phone.

It's easy to use, because the remote keypad has the same functions as the alarm control panel in your home. You can set or disarm your alarm; view security alerts; open a door for maintenance, cleaning or pet care; control garage doors and turn lights on or off on a schedule or manually.

The Total Connect System can proactively send you alerts about your home. Know almost instantly when motion detectors are disturbed or doors are opened (and record video of the event.) It can also warn you if a leaky pipe is flooding your house, a fire has started or the air conditioning has stopped working.

Since you can set or disarm your alarm wherever you are, you won't have to give out your security code to people who need in your home while you're away. You're able to confirm the pet sitter or housekeeper is coming and going at appropriate times and only entering authorized areas by controlling their access to your home remotely.

An empty-looking house is a magnet for those who want to take your property. With Total Connect, you can remotely turn lights on and off or schedule them to operate at set times. If an intruder thinks someone is home, they will hopefully think twice about breaking and entering.

Never wake up in the middle of the night again because you "just had a bad feeling." With just a few keystrokes, you can confirm your alarm is active and see for yourself that your home is empty, safe and secure with Total Access's Video Services.

With Video Services, you can view and control multiple live cameras inside or outside your home. Through the interface, you can view one camera or several on the same screen. Video alerts are also part of the system. Do you want to see exactly what set off a motion detector? The system can automatically record and show you a video of the event. Rest easy knowing your home is just a tap or click away, no matter where you are in the world.

Total Connect Remote Services work through the Internet. With your smart phone (Apple, Android or Blackberry) computer or any device connected to the Web (iPod Touch, iPad, or other tablet), the service creates a secure, safe connection to your security alarm in Hawaii.

No matter where you're traveling or when you want to know, Honeywell's Total Connect System from Lifeline Fire and Security Company will ease your fears when you leave home and enable you to have a worry-free and enjoyable journey.

Back-to-School Safety Advice from Lifeline—A Hawaii-Based Fire and Security Company

Lifeline is a fire and security company dedicated to ensuring your family’s safety by installing and monitoring alarm systems. While a security alarm in Hawaii homes is no guarantee of safety, there is no question that having these systems can help prevent injuries and damages due to fire, burglary and deadly carbon monoxide levels.

As the new school year begins, we would like to take this opportunity to remind parents and children about a few safety precautions that can help kids stay safe on the way to and from school as well as during the school day.

Each year, more than 2 million children are injured in accidents related to school, due in part to poor precautionary measures. Whether your child walks, takes the bus or bikes to school, here are a few simple safety tips that should always be observed when getting to and from school.

When walking:

• Identify a safe route to and from school, and do not stray from it.
• Use the sidewalk. If no sidewalk is available, always walk facing traffic, so you can see when a car is approaching.
• Do not cross the street unless there is a marked crosswalk.
• Never run out in front of a car, even if it appears to be parked.
• Always look both ways before crossing the street.

Parents: Walk with your child to and from school at least once to ensure he or she observes these precautions and does not get lost. If possible, have your child walk with friends or siblings to and from school.

When riding a bike:

• Wear a helmet at all times.
• Always ride on the right side of the road, and come to a full stop to check for traffic before crossing the street.

When taking the bus:

• Never stand in the street while waiting at the bus stop. Instead, stand six feet away from the curb.
• After boarding the bus, quickly find a seat.
• Do not stop or kneel directly in front of a bus for any reason. When you are too close in front of a bus, the driver will not be able to see you.
• If you must cross the street in front of a bus, walk at least 12 feet ahead of it and make sure the driver is visible.

Safe commuting is very important, but as a fire and security company, we know accidents can occur away from home if children aren't careful throughout the day. Here are a few precautions to help ensure your child is safe during the school day:

• Parents should help their children choose a comfortable backpack with enough support. In order to prevent backpack-related injuries, do not overload a backpack. A backpack should be about 15 percent of a child's body weight. If it is still heavy, make sure your child wears both straps so that each shoulder carries an equal amount of weight.
• Only play on playgrounds with soft surfaces. Grass, dirt and concrete are too hard and unsafe.
• Do not leave a classroom without first asking a teacher for permission.
• Never leave school grounds without a teacher present.
• Do not accept a ride to or from school with a stranger, unless a parent has made it clear that they approve.

While we can’t be with our children 24 hours a day, teaching them a few safety rules can help them stay safe in the upcoming school year. If you’re looking for a little added peace of mind, contact Lifeline to install your home’s state-of-the-art security alarm in Hawaii.
