alarm business
Today, home security systems can still sound alarms, but are much more difficult to forget about or foil. A software supported security system can
send you a text message every time a door or window is opened, whether you’ve armed it or not. It can stream live video or send still images of what’s happening in your garage,
living room, backyard or wherever you deploy a security camera. You can even be alerted before the break in, the moment the burglar pulls into the driveway!BUILDING A SECURITY SYSTEM Smart systems consist of hardware that doesn’t look a lot different than it did twenty five years ago. There are some specialized sensors and video cameras that weren’t common in the past and window and door contact switches have gotten a lot smaller, but the basics are the same: a control panel or console, magnetic contact switches, motion sensors, a siren. The new systems may also be connected to central monitoring stations, as do many old style security systems.
There is no additional charge for fire monitoring, you simply pay for the equipment. If you have a hardwired system and everything is compatible then there are no additional fees to install. You have the choice between a standard wireless installation or the hardwired takeover. If you purchase security cameras and you are an x1 cable tv customer you can view your cameras and arm your security system right from your tv!We transferred from ADT to Xfinity Home Security a few months ago. Horrible mistake. It has been reset and re programmed twice. Last week, 2 sensors gave off a "communications failure" message. Slowly, one by one, all the sensors failed. I'm waiting for them to come out again a 4 hour time range. And now I'm getting phone calls from the "manager" from India wanting me to change all the batteries in the sensors to see if that's the trouble before the tech comes out to re program everything a 3rd time. I cussed him out and dared him to call me again.
