LaserShield Systems, Inc. www.lasershield.net, the leading provider of instant home and small business security systems, announced today “Cyclone,” a wireless GSM adapter that works with the LaserShield® Instant Security System for consumers without landline phones or for those seeking added protection against an intruder cutting wired phone lines. With traditional phone-based security systems, if a consumer’s phone lines were cut by a burglar or went down, the user would never know. Cyclone replaces a landline phone as the security system’s connection to the 24/7 monitoring service. With Cyclone, no phone (whether cell phone, digital phone, or landline phone) is needed at all to use the service, since it connects directly with the cellular GSM network.
Cyclone is connected to the LaserShield 105-decibel master alarm unit by a short phone cord. When the master alarm unit detects a security breach or panic situation, the LaserShield siren sounds the alarm and sends a signal through Cyclone to the monitoring service over the GSM digital cellular network. For protection against power outages, the Cyclone unit is powered by a backup battery for 24 hours.
Cyclone is an ideal wireless security solution for homes, apartments, dorms, storage facilities, and offices. It is made especially for consumers without landline phones; renters that can’t get alarms installed because of lease restrictions; first-time home owners; dorms with no security; small business owners; and renters or home-owners with low-credit scores that can’t get approved for home monitoring.
The Cyclone GSM adapter and LaserShield home security system are easy to setup. The LaserShield master alarm unit is up and running in seconds after plugging it into the telephone jack on the Cyclone and a standard wall outlet. Motion detectors are placed in areas that an intruder would need to pass in order to enter the property. Each wireless motion detector protects a room up to 35×35 feet (1,200 sq. feet) via invisible infrared technology. When a security breach is detected, Cyclone notifies the monitoring service, which then notifies friends, family and, if warranted, the police or other authorities. LaserShield also includes a panic button, allowing a consumer to send a distress alert when needed.
The Cyclone GSM adapter is available immediately for $229.99 through authorized LaserShield dealers. It includes the Cyclone GSM adapter and a power adapter. Customers also need to purchase the LaserShield Instant Security System Starter Kit for $199.95 for a complete security system. The LaserShield Starter Kit includes a master alarm unit, wireless motion detector and two keychain remotes. Customers can activate the 24/7 Rapid Response Monitoring Service on the day of purchase for $29.95/month after a one-time $25 activation charge. Payments are month-to-month with no contracts or long-term commitments. Current LaserShield customers can upgrade to Cyclone without paying an activation fee.

If you want a REAL alarm system, you need to get one that operates off Alarm.com’s revolutionary *FROM THE GROUND UP*, tightly integrated new technology. No alarm system technology I’m aware of even comes close to matching what this company has done, and I’ve researched the residential alarm industry rather extensively. Go to Alarm.com and check out their demo. You will be shocked at the capability. And, it uses entirely GSM WIRELESS (cell) reporting to the Central Station (if a system’s doesn’t employ wireless reporting, I wouldn’t even consider using it except in unique situations).
Perhaps **most differentiating of all** (among the wireless plays) is that when an Alarm.com security system is armed, as soon as any sensor is breached (you walk in the door, for instance), the system immediately sends an “alarm pending” signal out to Alarm.com. So, EVEN THOUGH THE ALARM IS NOT YET IN ALARM STATE, it reports to Alarm.com to EXPECT a disarm code, and if not received, initiate a response. So an intruder has all of about 5 seconds to disable your unit (alarm state or not) before it’s too late. **Almost ALL other systems** give the criminal at least about 40-45 seconds, many even a minute or more. I don’t know about you, but I think 40-45 seconds is plenty of time to find and disable and/or destroy the majority of residential alarm systems out there.
Let me just say before going further: I am ONLY a very happy customer of Frontpoint Security (which uses Alarm.com services), and feel so strongly about the company, how they treat their customers, and their product offerings, that I want to get the word out about this unique and special company. I am not being compensated in any way to post this review by either FrontPoint Security OR Alarm.com.
Continuing… Alarm.com does not offer their service direct any longer, so you must go through a dealer. I did extensive research before purchasing my system almost 2 months ago, and could not find a better overall value than FrontPoint Security Solutions (www.frontpointsecurity.com). They offer SIMPLY AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE, efficiency, and professionalism. They also offer service nearly nationwide (only a couple states outstanding now, soon to include those states also from what they tell me). They configure the system, and send it to you with easy installation instructions (and phone support available). All sensors are mounted using the included strong double-sided tape. Many professional installs use similar mounting. They use non-proprietary and professional GE equipment, which must all be priced at nearly cost, because you can’t find much cheaper prices anywhere (use Google Shopping, I challenge you). And, they offer contract periods as short as 1 year (QUITE RARE). Frontpoint also offers the *HIGHEST LEVEL* of Alarm.com’s residential service offering.
This is TRUE security folks, not the illusion of it that the majority of residential systems provide. I challenge you to find a better VALUE for your money than what FrontPoint Security offers. I’m highly skeptical that it can be done. You owe it to yourself to check out http://www.Alarm.com and http://www.FrontpointSecurity.com and if it looks interesting, please give Frontpoint a call. I am CONFIDENT you will not be sorry you did. Ask for Peter, Chris, Philip or Aaron. I have spoken with them all and they are all GREAT guys.
