When you leave for work or play, are you confident your Oklahoma City house is secure? Security technologies have definitely kept up with the gadget industry, are less obtrusive, allow off-site control, and monitor necessary information.
Parents can know when the kids are home from school and if they are in to something not allowed. Going on vacation? Without a security system, what happens if a pipe bursts, or you have concerns about your parents? If the cameras are installed, you'll know.
Many of the new security tools are in the wireless realm. Going wireless eliminates the costs for labor and hardwire installations. Some of the newest cutting edge security options are innovative and cost effective, giving the home owner access to high end choices for less money.
It's easy to install a flexible system in a newly built home; it's also easy and affordable for your existing home. You can tackle the project yourself or hire a professional - either will offer affordability to make your home safe and secure for your family.
Following are things to look at when choosing a security system for your Oklahoma City home:
Intelligent Monitoring: Motion sensors and ultra high-tech cameras can be programmed for specific things that you expect, i.e. kids arrive home at 3:30 and you get notified they are home safely and all is well. This type of monitoring sends an email with video clip. You don't have to do the checking; it does it for you. When programmed correctly the high-end motion cameras monitor inside and outside, whether someone is home or away. Blackberry, iPhone, laptop - whatever you decide - you'll know what's going on while you are away.
Wireless vs Wired: The flexibility of wireless let's you put the vital parts in places typically a challenge to wire. Basements, attics, any cramped spaces can all have wireless components easily installed in them, without interference from other machines or networks.
Multi-Path Channels: Both wired and wireless have limitations. Ask what happens if one receiving communication path goes down? What's the backup? Ralph Maniscalo from Honeywell Security & Communications says there must be another path for the receiving signal, otherwise, "if the monitoring stations can't accept the alarm, your system isn't worth much."
Security systems enhance your life, but be sure you know what you are getting for your investment in home security systems. Is it 24-hour monitoring, is the signal reliable, what's the notification, will wireless have interference?
