[On-screen text: Home security system. Professional monitoring service. Offered by Roost™.] 

The Alert program includes a wireless home security system with DIY installation and a subscription to a monitoring service offered by Roost. 

[On a pale green background, white security devices appear: 2 water and freeze detectors, 1 smoke alarm listener, 1 motion detector, 1 smart base, 1 keypad and 3 door and window contacts.] 

What's more, all the equipment is delivered right to your door! 

[The devices disappear and then a box is shown with text reading "Alert™ program" above a stylized house with a Wi-Fi icon over the door. Blue text on the bottom panel reads, "Roost." A booklet titled "Alert™ program, Installation and User Guide" appears behind the box.] 

Set it up in a few simple steps and manage everything yourself from the Desjardins Insurance app.

[On-screen text: How does it work?]  

The smart security system connects to your home Wi-Fi network and can detect events such as smoke, water and freeze damage, intrusion or even a power outage. 

[A black and white house with a green car parked out front appears next to the phone. A Wi-Fi icon pulses above the roof. The car drives away. Four icons labelled "smoke," "water and freeze," "intrusion" and "power outage" emerge from the roof and move onto the phone screen.]  

The system then sends a text message or notification to your smartphone. This gives you time to act quickly to prevent or limit damage to your home.  

[On-screen text: Wherever you are.]  

[A young woman standing on a downtown street looks at her smartphone. A green text bubble with a white bell at the centre appears beside the phone. Behind the woman, the background changes to an art gallery and then to a public park.]  

Depending on the type of alert, Roost's central station may send emergency services to your home.  

[On-screen text: 24 hours a day. 7 days a week.]
