If you live in Miami and you have finally considered purchasing an ADT monitored Home Security System then the next question you may be asking is, what exactly does having a burglar alarm installed involve? Well the good thing is that you have made the decision to take protecting your property and more importantly the ones you love seriously. In Miami this is no longer a luxury but instead it truly has become a necessity in our day and age. Crime rates have recently sky rocketed and it seems that it is only going to get worse rather than get any better.
If you have lived in South Florida for more than 30 years then you will be able to not only understand this article but also totally agree with it. You see back in those days if you told someone you were purchasing a residential alarm system, they would probably ask why. The normal response was to ask if you had something out of the ordinary to protect because for the most part, no one had a residential alarm system. Alarm systems were mainly for business owners and industrial locations.
I just got broken into and I need an alarm installed immediately! This is the first thing that we hear from potential customers at least from 50 percent of our sales incoming calls. In the day and age we live in today it has become just part of life that break ins are just a regular thing in our cities. If you were to survey everyone you know, im positive that at least 80 percent of people you know would say they have either been burglarized or know someone close that has been robbed. The question still remains when this happens to you of who do you call to get protected. Here in Miami Florida it is reported that more than 4000 break ins occur annually. How do all these people handle such a thing.
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.
