iSamrtAlarm - Keep your home and family safe

Making security affordable is important, many of us are paying services fees, monthly fees, set up fees and 90% of the time we are less than 10 miles from home. There has been those times that it has happened that you are away and your security companies calls you because the alarm is going off, that is rare.

We all have smart phone, I would rather pay the local police departments or municipalities a yearly fee for them to react when the alarm goes off. Now I am not sure how many false alarms there are in each city, I am sure it is not enough to turn down the money.

It seems as though there are more and more companies making Alarm systems affordable. Hey give me a  load siren, iPhone viewing capabilities and remote shutdown, sensors on the doors and I believe that is enough to keep people away.

iSmart Alarm Inc. was founded in Silicon Valley in 2012 on the principles of safety, beauty, and intelligence. We designed and developed the best smartphone-enabled home security and home control system. Our products are cool, simple to use, and affordable to everyone. We protect your home intelligently!

To be the world leader in affordable, expandable, and innovative home technology and home security. To make your everyday life safer and more convenient.

Now this is the part that I like!
All devices are mobile and easy to use, no 3-year contracts and no monthly fees, customizable and expandable.

Every Parent Who Gives Their Kid an iPhone Should Make Their Kid Follow These 18 Rules


So everyone that has a kid and is or has given them a phone should consider some if not all these rules. An iPad should be considered as well. f Janell Hofmann wrote these when she gave her 13 year-old son his/her iPhone. 

Every Parent Who Gives Their Kid an iPhone Should Make Their Kid Follow These 18 Rules


1. It is my phone. I bought it. I pay for it. I am loaning it to you. Aren't I the greatest?
2. I will always know the password.
3. If it rings, answer it. It is a phone. Say hello, use your manners. Do not ever ignore a phone call if the screen reads "Mom" or "Dad". Not ever.
4. Hand the phone to one of your parents promptly at 7:30pm every school night & every weekend night at 9:00pm. It will be shut off for the night and turned on again at 7:30am. If you would not make a call to someone's land line, wherein their parents may answer first, then do not call or text. Listen to those instincts and respect other families like we would like to be respected.
5. It does not go to school with you. Have a conversation with the people you text in person. It's a life skill. *Half days, field trips and after school activities will require special consideration.
6. If it falls into the toilet, smashes on the ground, or vanishes into thin air, you are responsible for the replacement costs or repairs. Mow a lawn, babysit, stash some birthday money. It will happen, you should be prepared.
7. Do not use this technology to lie, fool, or deceive another human being. Do not involve yourself in conversations that are hurtful to others. Be a good friend first or stay the hell out of the crossfire.
8. Do not text, email, or say anything through this device you would not say in person.
9. Do not text, email, or say anything to someone that you would not say out loud with their parents in the room. Censor yourself.
10. No porn. Search the web for information you would openly share with me. If you have a question about anything, ask a person ? preferably me or your father.
11. Turn it off, silence it, put it away in public. Especially in a restaurant, at the movies, or while speaking with another human being. You are not a rude person; do not allow the iPhone to change that.
12. Do not send or receive pictures of your private parts or anyone else's private parts. Don't laugh. Someday you will be tempted to do this despite your high intelligence. It is risky and could ruin your teenage/college/adult life. It is always a bad idea. Cyberspace is vast and more powerful than you. And it is hard to make anything of this magnitude disappear — including a bad reputation.
13. Don't take a zillion pictures and videos. There is no need to document everything. Live your experiences. They will be stored in your memory for eternity.
14. Leave your phone home sometimes and feel safe and secure in that decision. It is not alive or an extension of you. Learn to live without it. Be bigger and more powerful than FOMO — fear of missing out.
15. Download music that is new or classic or different than the millions of your peers that listen to the same exact stuff. Your generation has access to music like never before in history. Take advantage of that gift. Expand your horizons.
16. Play a game with words or puzzles or brain teasers every now and then.
17. Keep your eyes up. See the world happening around you. Stare out a window. Listen to the birds. Take a walk. Talk to a stranger. Wonder without googling.
18. You will mess up. I will take away your phone. We will sit down and talk about it. We will start over again. You & I, we are always learning. I am on your team. We are in this together.

Stick-n-find | Never lose your keys again!



With Stick-n-find

Never lose your keys again.

Find your Remote control.

Track your luggage.

An Amazing App
The Radar Screen displays all your devices within range.

You can tap the Sticker on the radar screen and decide if you would like it to Buzz, Flash the lights or do both.

Of course, because we don't really know direction, the radar Screen can only be used to approximate the distance of the Stick-N-Find to your phone, but not direction.

So once you have located on the Radar Screen a Sticker you would like to find, you start walking in a specific direction, and see if it gets closer or farther.
