compare security system
We docked points for flimsy or easy to knock over physical elements and slow or dysfunctional cyber ones. Effective home security offers crisp and quick app interfaces preferably with
practical perks like customized sensor names and facial recognition and instantaneous notifications. Rather than restrict control to a physical hub hung on your wall, Abode puts control where you actually
need it: in the palm of your hand. Abode’s security dashboard is accessible by any internet connected device and gives you enough information to take action from wherever you are. When Abode’s motion sensors are triggered, it snaps a photo to show you what triggered it. The smart key fob and its three buttons — away, standby/disarm, and home — allow you to disarm as you walk towards the front door. We found that a lot more convenient than racing inside to beat the alarm’s 30 second window, particularly if you have an armful of groceries or a baby on your hip. The SimpliSafe system requires a professional monitoring subscription to receive alerts. That’s because it relies on a cellular connection rather than internet, so someone needs to send you an SMS text. There’s no option to receive automatic in app alerts. This also means your DIY security system is essentially a local alarm — meaning if a burglar breaks in, your alarm will activate, but the police won’t be alerted.

security alarms for homes
As we researched this topic and security systems in general, we reached out to Jamie Vos, vice president of the Electronic Security Association ESA for his thoughts on DIY systems. He emphasized
professional monitoring for security systems: “If you receive a text alert, you may not be in a condition to respond and you may not hear an alarm. At that point, you have lost valuable response time, whereas a professional monitoring station can automatically alert first responders. ”We also contacted Kirk MacDowell, a board member with the Security Industry Association SIA and president of MacGuard Security Advisors Inc. He said a security system can act as a central heartbeat in the home. “Devices such as locks that can be opened remotely, home light control and thermostats that can raise or lower
temperature are all tied into one convenient app and then tied into the alarm, making the operation seamless.

home security protection
However, as there are many leaders already in the home security business who have a good track record, it would be smart to simply become a dealer in the security systems already available. Many of these established businesses provide franchise opportunities that you can take advantage of. Research the top home security systems and decide which
type of security system you are interested in working with as a dealer see Resources. Sign a contract with the company you want to promote. Make a business plan. Once you have decided upon the type of home security system you will deal in, you will then be able to
determine how much capital you need to raise and whether you have enough funds to do it yourself. Consider whether you can fund your security system dealership yourself through personal funds or credit cards, or whether you should instead secure a small business loan. To obtain a small business loan, you will need to write a business plan to show how your business will succeed and what it will entail see Resources for links to help in writing a business plan and to obtain loans. Many surveillance cameras and audio bugs emit radio waves and can be identified by a standard RF radio frequency detection device. Conduct a “sweep” of your home with your bug detector. Surveillance devices are often hidden in walls or ceilings, so look for any spots that appear to be spackled or recently concealed.
