The Must Have Bells and Whistles You Need To Know About
It used to be that burglars only visited rich homes, but times have changed. Burglaries are occurring pretty much everywhere and amongst all types of people: high income, low income, inner city, suburbs, etc. In fact, a burglary occurs every 14.3 seconds in the United States. Most people are aware that a monitored home alarm system is a great first step toward preventing burglaries. Monitored alarms alert your local police, fire department or ambulance service automatically during an emergency in your home.
If you are thinking about having a professionally monitored alarm system installed, there are two types of alarm systems that you need to know about hardwired and wireless. Both types are effective in protecting you during break-ins and other home emergencies. With hardwired systems, each component is wired back to the alarm system's control panel. For this reason, hardwired systems are less popular with homeowners, who typically prefer that installers not drill into the walls of their home. Wireless systems are the preferred choice by most homeowners and installers. With wireless systems, components communicate with the control panel using radio waves, not wires. Wireless systems install easily and require minimal invasion into a home's walls.
Whether a hardwired or wireless security system, your first consideration is your home's perimeter protection (window sensors and door sensors). Statistically, the majority of break-ins occur through a home's first floor doors and windows. With this in mind, every door and window on your home's first floor should be secured in some manner.
Another category of protection refers to a home's interior, which is typically protected by passive infrared motion detectors, or PIRs. Passive infrared technology senses body heat, either from humans or animals. Once a PIR motion detector has sensed the entry of a person into the room, it will sound an alarm. Motion sensors can be most helpful when you are away from your home during the daytime, perhaps at work or running errands. Â It is important to note that PIR motion detectors can accommodate most pets.
Your home security system is not fully complete without environmental protection, especially photoelectric smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Photoelectric smoke detectors react to fire in its earliest stages: while smoldering and before any significant flame. This early warning gives you and your loved ones the opportunity to vacate the premises while your alarm calls for help.
Other valuable home security features and services include:
Portable alarm controls. Devices like portable handheld alarm controls and keyfobs make operating your alarm highly convenient. These devices are typically compatible with Safe Home Security's wireless security systems. They can be used practically anywhere in your home to arm and disarm your security system, as well as send panic alerts when you feel threatened.
Two-way talk capability. Most wireless systems from Safe Home Security include an intercom to accommodate two-way talk capability. When your alarm sends a signal, your alarm monitoring company will first contact you over the intercom rather than your telephone. This feature is ideal for people who may not be able to reach a phone to call for help e.g., seniors, people with limited mobility, or those with medical issues.
Remote arming. Using a touchtone telephone, alarm users with this feature can operate their alarm when away from home. For example, while at work or away on vacation.
Home security cameras. A Video cameras are becoming increasingly popular and are a great complement to your alarm system. Cameras can track and record activity in and around your home, including the behavior of your children and pets. With proper internet connectivity, you can even track the activity at your home from remote locations. Â Should you have a break-in, your camera's recordings can be used as evidence in court.
A Safe Home Security consultant will gladly complete a no-obligation "walk-around" of your home and advise you how to best protect your home in the most economical manner.
