What do homeowners really want and need in a home security and surveillance system? Speaking from experience, we can tell you that families want their system to be strong, easy to use, and reliable. Today’s security technology is very sophisticated, but that doesn’t mean it’s also too complicated to operate. We install Alarm.com systems in St. John’s, Florida homes because people can easily use the controls and stay connected to their property at all times. Read this blog to learn more about what is included in our security systems and how easy it is for anyone to protect their home.
Alarm.com – Strong Yet Simple Security
We are a certified dealer of Alarm.com – a quality and affordable security system that you can rely on to protect your home and family. Alarm.com is trusted by over two million people to protect their homes. They have an A+ rating by the Better Business Bureau and have been featured in many top magazines, such as Wired, CNN, and The New York Times. Over 10 years, they have evolved and grown from specializing in surveillance and security technology to smart home automation. Not only can you control your cameras, door locks, and alarm with your smartphone, but you can also access the lights and thermostat too. Alarm.com systems help protect your home from burglaries, flooding, fire, and carbon monoxide leaks with emergency response systems.
Interactive Security
What if you had a person at home all the time monitoring your property, and as soon as any threat arose, he or she would call you and the police immediately? In a sense that’s exactly what our Alarm.com systems do. Gone are the days of simply installing a loud alarm that goes off when a door opens or window breaks. Today’s systems are so smart that they will send you a text message or email when something goes wrong—like if a door is left unlocked, the cameras detect a stranger in your back yard, or the water pump breaks and begins flooding your kitchen. You need your security system to not only detect danger, but actively prevent it too. Interactive security means that you are connected to your house at all times so you can respond to an emergency immediately. We also offer 24/7 emergency response packages that contact an emergency responder in case you miss the alerts sent to your mobile device. So no matter what happens, you can rest easy knowing someone is watching over your house at all times.
Video Monitoring
While installing an alarm system is a reliable form of protection, surveillance cameras can give you even more peace of mind as your system monitors the activity surrounding your property at all times. Get video clips sent as text messages or emails when activity is detected, keep an eye on your pets, and use recorded video in the event of a break-in or insurance claim. We offer cameras that come with high-definition footage, cloud storage, live streaming, and infrared night vision. Not only will you have video recordings in the event of a real emergency, but you’ll also be able to use the system for everyday activities—like receiving an important package at the front door, making sure your kids arrive home from school, and checking in on a sick parent. With hundreds of hours of footage logged, you also don’t have to stress about trying to find a specific event. Our cameras come with software that allows you to easily search through and find any clip you need.
