monitored home security
99 upfront for the hardware and still get monitoring but
avoid the activation fee. If you live in a small apartment and
want to keep tabs on things when you're not home, a security camera can get the job done for a lot less money than what you'll pay for a full security system. Nearly all standalone security cameras connect to your home's Wi Fi so you can see what's going on from your phone or tablet, and most have built in sensors that detect motion and sound and will send push and email notifications when those sensors are triggered. You can usually tweak the camera's motion sensitivity to prevent false alarms due to pet activity or passing cars if the camera is near a window, and you can create a schedule that turns the sensors on and off during certain hours of the day. A smart lock is typically part of a robust smart home security setup, but you don't have to invest in a full blown system to use one. If you're using a home automation hub to control things like lighting and thermostats, you can add a Z Wave or Zigbee smart lock to the system without much effort. Alternately, if you don't have a home automation hub, look for a Wi Fi or Bluetooth lock that comes with its own mobile app. Smart locks use standard pre drilled holes and are fairly easy to install. Some models use your existing keyed cylinder and deadbolt hardware and attach to the inside of your door, while others require that you remove your existing interior and exterior escutcheons and replace the deadbolt and strike hardware. Smart locks can be opened and closed using a mobile app and will send a notification when someone locks or unlocks a door, and most allow you to create permanent and temporary access schedules for family members and friends based on specific hours of the day and days of the week. Features to look for include geofencing, which uses your phone's location services to lock and unlock the door, voice activation using Siri HomeKit, Google Assistant, or Amazon Alexa voice commands, support for IFTTT, and integration with other smart home devices such as video doorbells, outdoor cameras, thermostats, smoke alarms, and connected lighting.

free installation alarm system
However, if your home is too large, you might need to go for hard wired to be able to have a more reliable security system. In general, a 2GHz system can keep constant connection with wireless components in about an acre worth of
residential area. One disadvantage of the wireless system is that the components will eventually run out of battery life. It is therefore necessary to invest in a dependable battery backup system not only in case of emptying battery life but also to continue to protect your home even in the event of a power outage or a break in attempt by an intruder. Also, note that it is better to buy equipment that is powered by rechargeable batteries. They may have a larger upfront cost, but will prove to be more economical in the long run. Look for a system that notifies you or gives an alarm that can alert you if which batteries are running low. Or if you can, frequently test the components of your system and replace batteries regularly. Another disadvantage of a wireless configuration is the risk of faulty installation. Even though you don’t need any formal training to set up this system, there’s always the risk that you did not do it properly. When you
hire a service provider, you can make sure that everything will be done correctly.
