WINNIPEG, Feb. 12, 2013 /CNW/ - AAA Alarms, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manitoba Telecom Services Inc., today launched a new, interactive home and business monitoring solution called Take Control. Take Control allows customers easy, remote access to their residential or business monitoring system through their smartphone, computer or tablet.
"Take Control offers customers the peace of mind of staying connected to their home or business from wherever they are," said Guido Caputi, General Manager, AAA Alarms. "Imagine being able to check on your cottage or business in real-time, whenever you want, from wherever you are, by simply picking up your smartphone."
Take Control allows customers to remotely arm and disarm their security systems; record and store live camera feeds from their home or office; lock and unlock doors; and receive security notifications and alerts. It is backed by AAA Alarm's state of the art, 24 hours a day, seven days a week monitoring station and MTS's reliable network. With or without a security system, Take Control customers can also remotely view their home or business and adjust camera angles, allowing them to easily monitor vulnerable spots such as entrances.
