Plus, LifeShield was one of the first to provide remote access to your home security system. With LifeShield, you have always been able to log into your system from anywhere in the world for free. Some of the other systems are finally able to offer you this same type of access, but you'll pay for it. They'll add an extra cost to your monthly monitoring payments. And with LifeShield you can access your system even more easily with apps for iPhone, Blackberry, and Android. Look for our iPod application launch coming in July.
