What to look for when choosing a home security system near you
Security System Type and Capabilities: Not all home security systems are the same, in fact there is a wide variation between the types of system and features available to you. From very simple DIY systems that can be purchased online to much more sophisticated systems that include home automation and 24/7 remote monitoring, which are features many homeowners find valuable.
24/7 Home Alarm Monitoring: We think the best home security companies offer 24/7 monitoring. If your system is breached, a third party monitoring company will notify and dispatch local authorities if they are unable to get an all clear communication from you. Monitoring stations help ensure emergency services will be notified if you are unable to respond for whatever reason.
Security Cameras and Hardware: The more advanced systems include front door cameras that include two way communication, indoor cameras that are room or area specific, motion detectors, door and window sensors and even glass break detectors. They can also include fire, smoke, flood and Co2 detection devices.
Wireless vs Wired: The most recent camera technology allows for two way communication and wireless features for both power (battery) and interconnectivity (wifi). Gone are the days where a system has to be hardwired into a home with dedicated wires going to each location of protection. Most cameras can simply be plugged into an AC outlet and use wifi for connectivity. Battery powered cameras are an excellent choice when needing coverage in an area that does not offer AC access.
Remote Viewing and Control: Home Automation Integration and Mobile access are important features for many people. From the basics of checking in on pets and/or children when you're out to dinner or at work to controlling lights and other home devices remotely, these features are becoming increasingly popular. We share from personal experience that there is great peace of mind from viewing real-time video camera footage on our mobile phones to confirm all is well at home whether we are blocks away at a restaurant or vacationing on the other side of the country or on a business trip. Being able to remotely monitor your front door activity and rooms within your home is an extremely valuable benefit that we highly recommend.
What to look for in a home security company near you
Reputation/Reviews: Not all security systems offer the same level of quality with respects to both equipment and customer service. Make sure the equipment they offer is state of the art, reliable and long-lasting. Also check to ensure they offer 24/7 customer service so that you know you will be able to get assistance whenever you need it.
Service areas: It makes sense to use a security company that has technicians within a reasonable distance to your home. Otherwise, you might be waiting too long for not only installation but warranty services should the need arise.
Warrantee: It's always smart to make sure the hardware/security equipment comes with a warrantee so that you can receive free replacement components should the original fail or become inoperative.
9 Years in Business: Buyers should be aware of home alarm companies that cannot show a long track record of providing both excellent service and products. The last thing you need is to buy from a company that goes out of business in 6 months leaving you out in the cold should the system or service need attention.
Pricing: Like most things in life, you get what you pay for. If your primary goal is to save as much as possible then we'd recommend a simple DIY system found on Amazon or other retailer. If your primary goal is to help protect your home and family from intrusion then we'd suggest you consider a security company that offers 24/7 monitoring and reliable customer support. Some find it a bit more expensive but many have found the extra expense to be more than worth it in peace of mind alone.
