Brevard County Home Alarm, What You Need To Know

What You Need To Know About a Brevard County Home Alarm

The term home security paints with a wide paintbrush. There are layers upon layers of types of security you could have incorporated in your home security system , but it’s debatable whether you need them all. Speaking about Brevard County and home alarm systems , here is what you need to know.

I believe most everyone needs a monitored home security system , please consider these ideas:

  • Basic entry level systems come with a few contacts and a motion detector , and that’s fine for a small home or condo. From there it’s a good idea to have a motion detector incorporated as a secondary layer of security.
  • Many homeowners prefer what we call full perimeter protection , that’s means that all of your windows and doors are contacted including the garage.
  • Most homes already have a smoke detector but having a monitored smoke detector would get help to your home a whole lot faster. Having at least one per floor would be good.
  • Camera systems have really become popular as the quality of picture and their affordability has really become a factor.

At ATP Alarms our quotes are always free , so take advantage of our free security survey of your home. You will discover the vulnerabilities it has and the security solutions for them.

Of course some common sense can go a really long way on this topic;

  • Check all of your locks and doors, making sure they are secure.
  • Trim the bushes next to the home so they don’t provide cover for a potential burglar.
  • Install flood lights and other external lighting, burglars hate that.
  • Have at least one fire extinguisher on each floor of the home.
  • Make sure you have ATP window stickers and yard signs , they are great deterrents.
  • Get an ATP pet sticker on your front door, this could save their lives heaven forbid there is a fire.

Popular options include Total Connect , which is a virtual keypad that allows remote access to your home security from your smart phone. Then there is home automation which besides allowing the user to turn lights on and off can actually give you options like unlocking doors to controlling your thermostat , which can save you money on your energy bill , and all from your smart phone.
