|February 28, 2013In the U.S., burglaries occur approximately once every 14 seconds. Homes without monitored alarm systems are three times more likely to be targeted by crooks than protected homes. If you’re thinking of getting a home security system, you have over 13,000 alarm companies to choose from. How will you sort through the mountains of marketing claims to determine which is actually the best home security company?
The Best Home Security Features
Wireless and Cellular
If you’re shopping for home security, start by determining which features are important to you. First, choose between traditional systems and the newer wireless variety. This decision may be fairly easy. Wireless is hugely popular in home security these days, because wireless technology offers many advantages over the traditional hard-wired approach.
Wireless security sensors communicate with the alarm system control unit over a wireless frequency. Setting up this type of equipment requires no drilling or complicated connections – which means it’s easy, and you don’t end up with holes in your walls. You can set up the system yourself, at your own convenience, without having to schedule (and wait on) a professional installer. Why bring strangers into your house if you don’t have to? With the flexibility of wireless, you can move or add sensors any time. Best, of all, you skip the installation charge!
Wireless systems offer:
- Simplicity
- DIY (do-it-yourself) setup
- Time savings
- Money savings
- Flexibility
- Portability
- Convenience
