Security Alarm Systems

There are many, many reasons to invest in residential and commercial security alarms. Cyber and physical theft is on the rise with no signs of slowing down. A security alarm system – whether it’s for a home or business – provides peace of mind knowing your assets are protected from property damage, fires, theft, and fraud. The best security services are equipped with 24/7 monitoring and will alert you and the authorities in case any break-ins or security breaches happen.

Additionally, many insurance companies provide rebates to residential property owners for having a security alarm system installed. Be sure to check with them when you are shopping for systems.

Security alarm systems are not one-size-fits-all. Generally, there are three main types of security alarm systems for residential properties: surveillance cameras, security alarms, and fire alarms. While some homes only need one or two of these components, the best home security systems combine all three features.

Business security alarm systems are typically more robust than residential. This is because the needs of a business are usually more complex and layered. The major types of alarm systems include CCTV cameras, access control systems for entryways, security alarm systems, and fire alarm systems. Most bigger commercial properties use a customized combination of all these features for the best coverage.

Residential and commercial security alarms are only effective if they are installed properly in the right places. At home, alarm systems should be installed at entry points, windows, and inside. More importantly, cameras should be placed in a way that eliminates blind spots.

Business security systems typically require more in-depth installations. The ideal placements for security components include (but are not limited to): cash drawers, storage areas, entrances/exits, parking lots, walkways, reception areas, and remote areas. Security systems for commercial businesses must be installed by a professional. If components aren’t installed in the right spots, the security of the entire property is compromised.

We highly recommend having an internet connection – or at the very least, a landline – to properly set up a security system for a home/business. The best security alarm systems use data for monitoring purposes – which is received from your system via the internet. Additionally, today’s systems are designed to send alerts to your smartphone if an alarm goes off. While these features aren’t always required, you won’t be getting the full benefit of the system by choosing not to receive the alerts.

Even without an internet connection, security monitoring systems will call your home to check on you if an alarm goes off.​
