The installation of a complete residential security system is the best way that homeowners can protect their family and property from intruders. There are a few key components that every alarm system should have in order to provide the most effective protection and crime prevention.
Selecting the best security products for your security system, such as security cameras and outside monitoring, will increase your ability to deter and even catch the criminals who want to target your home or business.
These are the security products you should include when building the best Florida home security system:
Cameras
Whether you go with wireless or wired cameras, security cameras are an increasingly affordable way to prevent crime and help identify suspects in the event of a break-in. Cameras can be live-streaming or closed-circuit and may include special features such as night vision, cloud storage, and motion activation.
Motion Detectors
Motion sensors provide homeowners with an ideal way to monitor the safety and security of their property while they are away from home. Using strategically placed motion detectors, your home security system can identify the presence of an intruder and can even differentiate between pets and humans.
Monitoring
Even the best security system is not as effective if it is not monitored. Most security experts recommend the use of professional monitoring in order to elicit the fastest police response.
Having a monitored alarm system means that your home is protected 24/7 from any potential intruders – whether or not you are on the property. These systems also often allow you to monitor key components of your home’s security via an app while you are away.
Control Panel
The control panel is the hub of your home’s security system. All of your home’s security products will be integrated into one master control panel for easy access and control. Your control panel may include smart home automation features, the ability to arm or disarm your system, a way to alert the authorities, and more. This panel will also allow you to link up your system with a professional monitoring service.
Glass Break Detectors
Glass break sensors are a critical but often overlooked part of any home security system. They allow the homeowner (and the authorities) to be alerted of any broken windows on the property even when no one is home to hear the sound. The latest in glass break technology is configured to reduce the frequency of false alarms.
Window / Door Transmitters
Including window and door transmitters in your home’s alarm system not only helps protect your home from outside intruders but also provides peace of mind to families with young children. Window and door transmitters allow your security system to emit an audible sound whenever a door or window is opened or closed.
