Protection whether you're home or away

With a home security system from WH Security, you can be protected both while you are home and while you are away. Our systems offer two arming options: “Stay” and “Away.”

When turning on your home security system, if you arm your system for Stay, it will deactivate the motion detectors so you are free to move around inside of the house while the alarm system is protecting the entry points including perimeter doors and windows. If you arm the system for Away, the system assumes no one is in the house. In addition to the perimeter and entry doors, the motion detectors will also be activated.

To learn more, call our security specialists at 763.477.3664.
