January 10, 2022 0Comments

Prior to investing in anything with an expensive price tag, doing a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether or not the investment is worth the expense is always a wise idea. Home security systems can be fairly pricey. Especially those that are well-designed and equipped with the latest technologies and features. A professional security camera monitoring company can also add to the costs. When you consider improving the safety of your home and family, a lot of homeowners automatically assume that they’re worthwhile investments. However, when it comes to indoor and outdoor home security cameras, making assumptions is never a good idea.

Everything to Know About Your Car’s Key Fob

November 20, 2021 0Comments

A key fob, or car remote, is an electronic device that allows cars to be opened and locked without a key. It typically has buttons for unlocking doors and opening the trunk. A key fob is a small keyless entry system that uses a low-frequency, short-range radio transmitter to send a signal to the receiver inside the car. Some fobs can even be used to start the car. In addition to locking and unlocking doors, and starting the engine, a fob can perform other tasks. Some of the buttons on the fob may be dual functional and pressing them more than once or holding them down for longer will activate a different function.

Keep Your Home Safe When You Are Away

September 3, 2021 0Comments

Over a million burglaries are committed in the United States every year. Your home is your safe haven, as well as the place where you store most of your valuable possessions, so it is completely normal to worry that your home could become a crime statistic, too.

Consider this, though — just as homeowners have to complete a risk assessment and take actions to protect themselves, burglars go through this process, too. Theirs is an extremely hazardous “job”; if they get caught, burglars may not only get arrested and go to jail, but they may also face a violent confrontation with the residents of the home they sought to rob. That’s why these criminals will typically only choose the lowest-hanging fruit. They’ll go for homes with little to no security, easy entry and exit points, and properties that very much look like nobody is home.
