If you plan on either visiting family or your favourite holiday destination this festive season, you will be looking forward to relaxing and spending some quality time with your loved ones. Taking a break from the pressures of work in a fresh setting can be truly restorative, and it is important that we make the most out of this time away by “disconnecting” from the things that occupy our minds the rest of the year.

While this sounds great in theory, the reality is that true peace of mind is achieved by having some measure of control, even if it is of the remote variety.

Your mobile phone is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of having a carefree vacation; after all, most of us want to switch off and leave technology behind so that we can focus on reconnecting with ourselves and those closest to us.

However, with CENTURION’s range of innovative GSM solutions, your phone is the key to enjoying your holiday without having to worry about your home’s security while you are away. Our mobile-based products let you monitor and control almost anything around your home – all from your phone.

One of the most popular uses of our GSM range – which includes the G-ULTRA monitoring and control solution as well as the G-SPEAK ULTRA wireless intercom system – is to remotely open and close an entrance gate, for example to let in family members or garden services. Giving secure access from anywhere just couldn’t be easier. Other applications include arming an alarm, switching on outside lights, activating a sprinkler system and even controlling your water heater to conserve energy when it is not being used.

Of course, you will also want to know what’s going on back home, and, with its intelligent monitoring capabilities, the ULTRA range ensures that you are always in the know, no matter where you are. Receive push notifications on your phone when your gate is being operated or has been left open, your alarm has been armed or triggered or if there has been a power failure, ensuring that you don’t come home to any nasty surprises.
