monitored burglar alarms
If you go to , there is a home security audit checklist on the site to help you identify potential weak areas in your security and offer solutions. We've all had those moments: we're on our way to work or even on vacation and wondered if we locked the back door or forgot to turn off the lights. Home security systems are getting more sophisticated, and can now help give some extra peace of mind. New alarm systems not only help people keep tabs on any
unusual activity at their home, but they are making everyday living more convenient. "We've also built in the home automation capabilities where now you can control your lights, control your thermostat, you can control video cameras, and view video cameras and all of those devices work together seamlessly," said Xfinity Home Vice President Dennis Mathew. Comcast began rolling out its wireless Xfinity Home system in 2012 and now is available in Comcast served area across the country. Ray Child has the system in his home, and said it
helps him keep tabs on everything via his PC, tablet and smartphone. "I can't tell you how many times whether it's a trip across town or across the country where I've had that 'ah ha' moment where I didn't turn on my security system," Mathew said. "I can be driving down the road and say, 'I really want those lights on,' so I can remotely turn on the lights. "This particular system also will control your home heating and cooling system. The "Eco Saver" feature will track your heating and cooling habits, and over time, automatically make adjustments to make the system run more efficiently and plot out the data month by month.

monitor security system
When we test, we borrow some of the DIY security systems from their manufacturers and buy others. Although we may reach out for technical support or for clarification on a particular feature, the companies
have no input on our testing practices and we don’t share our results or rankings with them before publishing our reviews. As we researched this topic and security systems in general, we reached out to Jamie Vos, vice president of the Electronic Security Association ESA for his thoughts on DIY systems. He emphasized
professional monitoring for security systems: “If you receive a text alert, you may not be in a condition to respond and you may not hear an alarm. At that point, you have lost valuable response time, whereas a professional monitoring station can automatically alert first responders. ”We also contacted Kirk MacDowell, a board member with the Security Industry Association SIA and president of MacGuard Security Advisors Inc.

If you choose Nest Secure, Brinks will provide the ongoing staff and support for that
system.
Choosing Brinks comes at a premium price, but they do offer financing options for equipment at low or no interest. The monitoring itself is low cost, and it comes with a 2 year warranty although some options also require a 3 year commitment. There are steep early termination fees, but if you go with Nest Secure, there is an alternative month to month plan. Protect America delivers the home security system equipment to your door and allows you to handle the installation and setup yourself. The company says that setup should take less than an hour.
