TIPS TO SELECT A HOME ALARM SYSTEM

Selecting the best security system for your home might be a time consuming task but this guide will help you make the right decision for your family.

A home security system protects your home from burglars. Besides an effective deterrent against property crimes, these systems also save your home from excessive fire damage and protect your family from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Some features you’ll get in a home security system:

•    Control panels and keypads
•    Smoke detectors
•    Carbon monoxide detectors
•    Motion sensors
•    Video monitoring

Process to select the best home security system:

•    Firstly, prepare a list of home alarm companies near you. Include both smaller, local companies and large national companies in the list.

•    Next, compile a list of features that are important to you. Remove any companies on your list that do not offer those features.

•    Read reviews about these companies online. Eliminate the companies that are rated poorly.

•    Examine price quotes from companies on your list. Remember, there may be some installation or maintenance fee. 

Based on the rates, narrow down your list to 2-3 companies. Fix a meeting with their representatives and take quotations for installation. Lastly, make sure you choose a home security system that promises to provide 100% customer support and monitoring.

3 BEST PLACES TO PUT A SECURITY CAMERA

Installing a security system at strategic locations of your home is one of the important things to be considered to safeguard your home. Given below are three recommended places to install a security camera to protect your home from burglary.  

•    Above the Front Door

Since 90% of burglars enter through the main door of the house.  Therefore, security cameras should be placed above the front door so that it can deter burglars and catch them if they break in. Further, front door cameras with two-way audio can allow you to see and talk to the person standing outside without opening the door.

•    Over Other Exterior Entries

Many people buy a high-security front door camera, but they ignore to improve the other doors of their home. Remember, intruders look for weak entry points, so every door should be outfitted with a security camera.

•    Aimed at Your Lawn

Lawn is a place where cycles, scrap equipment and other things are kept. It can attract burglars to enter your property. So, choose a camera that is designed for outdoor use. Ideally, the outdoor security camera should also have night vision and motion-sensor features. Besides adding to your home’s security, a camera covering the lawn can help you keep an eye on your kids and outdoor pets.

So, remember to position the security cameras in these strategic places. If you’re interested in learning more about indoor and outdoor security cameras, contact Safeguard India. Get rid of all worries about camera positioning and installation.
