The question every security system specialist in the industry is constantly faced with is whether a customer should opt to install a surveillance camera system or go with a monitored home security system. Of course the obvious answer would be that the consumer should see both as a priority and should choose to install both the burglar alarm as well as the CCTV camera system. In fact today Honeywell makes an module which interconnects your CCTV system to your burglar alarm system so that in the event of a burglar alarm activation, the CCTV system would immediately send you an email and images to any Blackberry type phone service. But in the real world we know that not everyone can afford to install both a camera system and a monitored home alarm. So it leaves the question of, if I have to choose one, which should I choose? It is definitely a difficult question because of how highly effective yet very different from each other these two systems are. So in order to make a more educated decision we will look at how each of these security choices can make a difference in providing the sense of security we each need.
Millions of people are victimized each year by criminals whose only intention is to take and vandalize their property. In times of economic turmoil, these numbers increase significantly. There is no question that, with today’s economy, burglary and home invasion statistics are definitely on the rise. This makes home security a cause for concern for [...]
High tech home security helps to eliminate the risk of being attacked or surprised in your home. Many security systems available on the market today are simply not cutting edge. The new technology of this day and age has made high tech home security more safe and effective than it has ever been before. Once you have seen the new and improved features available in today’s home security systems, there will be no turning back, and you will not understand why there are so many inferior home security devices available today.
Purchasing a do it yourself home security system may help to cut down costs of a professionally installed burglar alarm. But more importantly, make certain that the security system is purchased from an authorized Honeywell, Ademco, GE, or DSC dealer. If the home security system is not from any of the above named dealers then you may not receive the factory warranties associated with these top of the line home alarm equipment manufacturers.

Home invasions account for more than 60% of rapes and other violent crimes in North America. It is estimated this year alone there will be more than 8000 home invasions with the intent to rob, assault, murder and rape or even steal personal information from you or your family. The most shocking fact about home invasion is that 50 % of the time they are completely preventable. This leaves many Americans asking themselves “What is the best home security system?”
There is no debating that in today’s age there is a much greater awareness and demand for burglar alarm systems than ever before. Just thirty or so years ago, less than 10 percent of home owners owned or had any interest in owning a security system. And, for many of those who owned a security system, having it monitored by a central station was not desirable because in those days you could actually connect a pre-recorded tape dialer, which would call the police department directly in the case of an actual alarm activation, and notify the police department of the intrusion. Most homeowners would invest in better locks for their doors as well as better lighting on the exterior of their homes rather than spend their money on a security system. Although most homeowners in those days would have liked to own a burglar alarm, the price of an average burglar alarm system ranged from $1500 to $2500.
