We don’t even have a police officer on duty overnight!

The internet has replaced many things and that includes homewatch. The availability of remote monitoring of your home is enough for many people. Connected burglar alarms, thermostats, and cameras make the cost of a homewatch person something many people pass on. You can tell a lot about what is going on with your property when you are not in the area. Sure, it is nice to have someone check on it, but a lot of people are satisfied with what they can see online and forego the expense of homewatch.

Plus, you can check on your property as often as you want with no additional cost. On the really cold days this past winter I sometimes checked the Gilford house thermostat twice a day just to be sure that the heater was operating well.
