TORONTO – Rogers announced it is now offering its Smart Home Monitoring system to residents throughout Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe. The home monitoring system allows customers to control and automate their home security, lights, cameras, thermostats and appliances remotely through their smartphone, computer or tablet.
This announcement marks the first time that Rogers has launched the service outside of its cable footprint in Ontario since first launching the home monitoring system service in August 2011.
With today’s launch, the company said residents of Oakville, Lincoln, West Lincoln, Grimsby, Hamilton and the Greater Hamilton area, Burlington, Niagara Falls, Thorold, Pelham, Niagara-on-the-Lake, St. Catharines, Wainfleet, Welland, Fort Erie and Port Colborne can book a free in-home assessment by visiting www.rogers.com/smarthome.
“We're thrilled to now offer Rogers Smart Home Monitoring to residents of the Golden Horseshoe,” said Ian Pattinson, Vice-President & General Manager, Rogers Smart Home Monitoring, in a release. “Since we launched a year and a half ago, our customers continue to discover new system features that keep their homes and families secure while helping them better manage their daily lives for ultimate peace of mind.”
At the heart of the system, which uses an established IP-based dual network, is an easy-to-use touchpad that provides quick, one-touch access to home automation apps, multimedia apps for photos, traffic, weather and sports, and home security functions. When an alarm occurs, the touchpad connects with the Rogers Central Monitoring Station, a 24/7, real-time monitoring service provided by certified security experts.
