Alarm Systems

A home is a place where we should feel safe. Having a security system in our homes can help us protect ourselves from threats and ensure our sense of security. A home security system is a system that uses interconnected devices to promote and safeguard your house. These systems use technology focused on securing and protecting your home and its valuables (e.g., rooms containing jewelry, money, gadgets, or any object of importance to you).

These security systems use devices like motion sensors, high decibel alarms, surveillance cameras, door and window sensors, etc., and are monitored and managed through a control panel. When your home security system detects an intrusion via sensors, detectors, or indoor and outdoor cameras, the control panel calls the authorities and sends them your address. Although installing a home security system has a cost, it can help you secure your home and protect your loved ones.

Buying security for your home is the best way to protect your family and protect your investment. When you think about purchasing a home security system, one of the aspects you will need to consider is installation. There are systems you can install on your own as well as those that a licensed installer can install for your family. Before you decide how you want to install home security, you should consider some of the benefits and disadvantages of each option.

Is your garage door as secure as you think it is? Likely not. Garage doors are frequently targeted by burglars and thieves. They are not only a weakness, but provide criminals a shelter once inside. Garage door security is extremely important, especially if your garage is attached to your residence and you have an inside entrance door.

Technology is quickly changing the way we interact with the world around us. The future of home security and Internet Of Things (IoT)  also referred to as “connected devices” and “smart devices” is a network of devices such as sensors, wireless security cameras, locks, etc. which are embedded with electronic software that enables them to collect data and take certain preprogrammed actions.

Various studies estimate that the total sum of IoT devices will reach 25-30 billion by the year 2020!

Moving In?

When you move into a house or apartment, you can never be sure who else might have a key to your house. Even if the former tenants are trustworthy, they probably lent a spare key to a family member or a neighbor. These spare keys could be hanging on a hook in the neighbor’s kitchen, conveniently labeled with your address. Former house sitters, cleaning services, babysitters, or others may have keys to your home. Even if your home is brand new, the contractors and real estate agents all had access to the key. When renting an apartment or condo, speak with a landlord to ensure the locks were changed between tenants.
