Keeping
secure in your home is now more important than ever. While
burglaries are down a bit over the last several years, crime now is
more violent than ever. Keeping your family safe from intrusion
and secure with a good tight perimeter alarm system is the best
security combined with dead bolt locks and secure windows make it
much more difficult for an intruder to harm anyone.
While
you are away, there will be infrared sensor or sensors that are now
even pet smart to ignore your dog or cat and yet sense and get help
if an intruder would penetrate your home from a more difficult
opening such as high second floor window or a hole cut in a door or
wall.
Pushing
that home button on your keypad is all that it takes to turn on your
system and the comfort and the sense of security you feel is well
worth every dollar.
Fire
can start anywhere in your home from the attic to the basement.
Detectors need to placed in these areas along with the garage area.
Typically garage and attic areas need thermal heat sensors while
each floor of the home along with the bedrooms should have smoke
detectors. Common sirens/horns are placed throughout the home so you
can hear them when you have a problem and escape immediately while
fire trucks are on the way.
Carbon
Monoxide,
referred to as the deadly killer is silent and it is odorless. Any
home with a has furnace, fireplaces, gas water heaters and attached
garages should have one or more detectors. Our designer will locate
the placement of the detectors when he or she gives your home a no
cost survey. Typical locations of carbon monoxide detectors are in
sleeping areas and basements with furnaces and water heaters.
Concerning
temperature and the sudden and extreme winter weather here in St.
Louis, what can be more assuring than a freeze detector to
"baby-sit" your home while you are away. Water damage is
easily avoided with knowing that your furnace has failed and help is
on the way.
Intercom
systems can be accomplished with several brands such as music and
sound, Nutone or Airphone. Whether it is to call someone in another
part of the home or hear and answer the door bell, intercoms are so
convenient. Options include clear CD music throughout the home or a
Panasonic Phone System where intercom is at every phone and you can
answer the front door from a wireless phone while sitting at the
pool.

CCTV
is a tool used in a world when a lot happens inside and outside the
home. Closed Circuit TV can now be remotely viewed and is an
excellent management tool in business to help reduce shrinkage.
