Protect Your Home. Save Money On Home Security Systems Today

Implementing a home security system is great for a number of reasons.  Not only does it make you and your family feel safe, it can save you money on your insurance.  Home owners who have a home security system see an average savings of 20%.  When choosing a home security system, you should first decide what is it you are looking for.  Do you want something outside for protection?  Do you want infrared censors?  Our Buyer Guide will help you decide what you need and what you can afford.  Don't let sales people talk you into something you won't need or use.

Types of Systems
There are many types of systems you can choose from.  Depending on the level of security you need for your home will determine what is the best option for your household. To start, you should decide on all of the indoor or outdoor options you can choose.

Indoor

• Passive infrared detectors
• Ultrasonic detectors
• Microwave detectors
• Photo-electric beams
• Glass break detectors
• Smoke, heat and carbon monoxide detectors
  

Outdoor

• Passive magnetic field detection
• E-field
• Microwave barriers
• Microphonic systems
• Taut wire fence systems
• H-field

Access control systems are also very popular.  Entering a code to set your alarm can help prevent false alarms from going off, which can result in a hefty fine or penalty.  These systems often times also have a duress code you can punch in if you don't have time to call 911 in case of an emergency.  Purchasing an alarm system along with an access control system is another way to go.  Even adding video surveillance on top of the other two options is needed in some cases.
