Suggestion: Flashing Light
Posted August 2nd, 2010 by ypatel
I think this is more for home owners but could help attract attention in apartments too...
How about a flashing light (such as a strobe) that starts flashing when the alarm is triggered to attract attention?
I think it would be great at night, especially for attracting attention to your home (along with the siren) and showing police where your home is at night when house numbers can be harder to see.
I've heard of a couple alarms that had this feature and thought it would be very cool and useful, not sure how many other people would want this kind of thing though.

I've seen the flashing
I've seen the flashing strobes in businesses but not homes, however, I think this would be a neat feature for the future.
This is a great idea! I'll
This is a great idea!
I'll be sure to forward it to the development team to see if they think there would be a wider applicability of a wireless strobe light that will work in tandem with your alarms.
Keep the great ideas coming!

I've seen them in businesses too but it seems some companies are starting to add them to home systems to attract attention to the home during the event of an alarm being triggered.
I'd probably be first in
I'd probably be first in line to buy a strobe we could integrate into an existing SimpliSafe system. I had a strobe on my last system (different vendor) at my last place. I *had* to. Our home was so far back from the public road and the lighting on that road was poor. Even though we're easier to find now where we live, a strobe would still be a great option!
