Purchasing a do it yourself home security systems may help to cut down costs of a professionally installed burglar alarm, but you have to be certain that the security system is purchased from an authorized Honeywell, Ademco, GE, or DSC dealer like Home Security Concepts. If the home security system is not associated with a reputable dealer, you may not benefit from the factory warranties from these top home alarm equipment manufacturers.
Where to start
It’s no secret that property crime in general has been on the rise over the past few years. While violent crime in the United States as a whole has been in decline for decades, the occurrence of burglaries, home invasions and theft have gone up dramatically as of late. Florida in particular has been hit particularly hard, which is why South Floridians are installing home security systems more than ever. Despite the surge in interest that retail home security systems have received, much of the public at large is relatively unfamiliar with how they work and the benefits they are capable of providing.
Across the country, even in metropolitan areas like Miami, crime is on the rise. One of the most common crimes that people today are facing on a regular basis is burglary. No matter who you are, where you work or how much you earn, the fact is, you, your home and your family may be targets for burglars. Burglars generally strike without warning, and the effects of a burglary can be life changing.
Home security systems don’t need to be an elaborate and expensive investment. In today’s economy, not many households are able to spend thousands of dollars on a home security system. An ADT system for homes in Ft Lauderdale can be installed by Home Security Concepts, starting with the Level 1 Security Package for just $99.
For anyone who has lived in the Miami Dade County area most of their life, it sure is exciting to have the opportunity to talk to those from the previous generation that are natives to Miami and hear all the great stories of how exactly it was 50 or 60 years ago here.
Just recently I had the privilege of speaking to an elderly gentleman who saw Miami coming together during his childhood. He would tell me that during his childhood the only areas that were inhabited by residential communities were the City of Coral Gables and the City of Miami, and that was just about it. All other surrounding areas were basically rural with no roads to travel on.
When it comes to name recognition throughout our nation or even the entire world, the last product or company you could possibly think about would be an alarm company. When name recognition is thought of, the companies we would think about would be companies like Coca Cola who have been around for over a hundred years and are known worldwide by name or even by logo. You know you have a very well known product when anyone in the world sees your logo and immediately recognizes the product. Better yet, if the logo has an ability to generate a desire for the product just by the mention of it. That is definitely the power of marketing and name recognition.

The ADT wireless system is our most popular home security system by far. As technology continues to improve the need to make the products accessible to every homeowner becomes a great challenge to manufacturers. For example when DSL hit most of America for the first time, most users were told that the only way their DSL service would work efficiently was by running data wires using Cat 5 wiring throughout their entire house or business. Imagine if you owned a two or three story house, now you would have to run Cat 5 wiring from the router to every computer in the house. As you can imagine this caused a very big problem because most people did not want to pay for a professional low voltage contractor to come out and charge hundreds or thousands in some cases to wire the house. As soon as it became a reality that most DSL users would not get the service because of this problem the manufacturers went right to work in finding a solution. And that solution came in the way of a wireless router and computers that had built in WIFI cards.
ADT Security Services (ADT) was founded in 1874 by Robert Roebling Clowry as American District Telegraph. At the time, ADT was a consolidation of 57 different telegraph companies. Through the years, the business went through different ownership and business concentrations as technology advanced. In the 1920s and 1930s, they began to specialize in things such as fire and burglar alarms. At the time, the company was run by AT&T. In the 1960s, it became publicly owned and started to provide home alarm services in large cities, such as New York City. In 1997, the company was purchased by Tyco International. Over the last 130-plus years, ADT has branched to over 30 different countries and employees tens of thousands of people.
