How to have a worry free vacation this Holy Week

MANILA, Philippines - How many times have you gone on vacation but could not enjoy because you were too busy worrying about your home’ s security? This coming Holy Week, you can rest easy and fully enjoy your well deserved R & R because Simon will be watching your home and and helping to keep it safe.

Simon3 from GE that is. GE’s Simon3 is the world’s most advanced wireless security system. For years, it has been the first name in affordable security. Now it carries on this legacy with an even stronger performance and greater simplicity. Simon is the compact security system that is effective, easy to operate and install.

How does it work? Simon3 is the central control panel armed with various possible sensors strategically located around the house. When a sensor detects an emergency, the signal goes out immediately to your designated phone, neighbor, relative or even a monitoring station depending on your choice. This, in turn, would send proper authorities rushing to the scene.

This means you can be alerted wherever you go because Simon3 can call your cellphone and leave a clear concise voice message notifying you of system alarms.

Such system alarms could come from the motion sensor in your living room, or from the door and window sensor from, say, your front door. In case of fire, the smoke detector option would send a signal to the central Simon3 panel thereby alerting you and/or the proper authorities. Should anyone dare to cut your steel window grills, the optional shock sensor would set off the alarm.

Simon3 could also provide less worry for parents. If your teenager fails to come home from a party, say, by 12 midnight, and fails to disarm the system by that given time, Simon3 will call your telephone or cellphone to let you know. Since Simon3 can acommodate up to six individual codes in 4, 5 or 6 digits, most, if not all, family members can have their own access codes.

Simon3 has been designed with special security needs in mind. Special care for the elderly or disabled is provided by the optional personal emergency pendant. It is equipped with a panic button which sends an alert to the central Simon3 panel. Simon3 can also call for help should it detect a lack of activity within your home.

It is so simple that even a child can follow instructions and use the alarm. Simon’s built-in voice directs the child through every step of the operating procedure. For parents, it also offers more convenience in controlling the system. There is a packaged push button control you can carry on a keychain or keep bedside. You can use this to arm or disarm the system within a 15-meter radius. Simon3 can also be monitored and controlled by using any touch tone phone.

One of Simon’s best features is that you could actually have it set up today. Because it’s wireless, Simon3 can be installed in hours, not days – with no mess, no wires, no dust or imposition. Furthermore, you’ll never worry that your security system isn’t right for you. Simon3 gives you the exact security you need today. And if requirements change in the future, it’s easy and economical to modify your system.

Your family deserves the best protection you can give it. Simon3 is your best solution. You can tailor-fit it to match your precise security and life safety needs. Then,º you can rest easily this Holy Week onwards because Simon3 is watching over your home, family and possessions 24 hours a day.
