Everything tied into an alarm system locally monitored 24/7, with mobile responders and patrols. If I tell them when I am gone, they respond differently than when I am at home. But that costs something for the service, to me worth it having it local as opposed to a national monitoring center or trying to monitor it myself via computer or cell phone.
For a substantial additional fee, I can get daily outside walkarounds, weekly inside checks, and management of emergency repairs. I used this service when out of the country for two years, but it could apply as well to a snowbirding seasonal away. When I had family in the same town, they would do this, or trusted friends can be put on call for my security company.
