What to Look for in a Home Security System
All home security systems are designed to protect your residence and its residents, but not all operate the same way or have the same features.
Installation is a factor to consider. Some companies require DIY installation for the home security system, while others offer professional installation, either for a fee or for free. The security company may offer professional monitoring, self-monitoring, or a combination of the two. Safe & Sound offers customers free installation by security professionals, a free remote app, and active alarm monitoring.
Every security company offers different equipment packages at a range of price points. Three factors to consider are the size of your home, how much of it you want protected, and your desired features. The most common add-ons are door and window sensors, motion detectors, a control panel, and a camera. Safe & Sound will work with you to customize a home security system to fit your needs and provide active monitoring 24/7.
Are Home Security Systems Worth the Money?
Burglaries occur daily in the United States and can happen anywhere. In some cases, a security system may deter a burglar from breaking in or scare them into leaving should they enter and realize the home is monitored. The biggest benefits are protection and peace of mind at home or on the go. Whether it’s your primary residence or a vacation home, you want to make sure your home and valuables – including your family – are protected.
What Are the Different Types of Home Security Systems?
There are unmonitored or monitored and wired or wireless home security systems, and you can combine two or more to suit your environment. Security device packages may include indoor video recording surveillance, outdoor cameras, video doorbells, carbon monoxide detectors, fire/smoke alarm systems, voice intercoms, and door entry systems.

Mobile Connection Keeps You in Control
The ever-expanding use of smartphones and other smart devices has allowed security companies to utilize the app system in order to further promote safety. These days, most security packages come with the ability to monitor your home or business via your phone. A quick tap can let you access your cameras and take a look at how your business is proceeding. For employers, this can also be a powerful tool to keep an eye on the employees and ensure they aren’t up to any questionable activity as well.
For homeowners, the ability to access their home security monitoring system via their phone is incredible. Not only can you receive instant alerts when something happens that is out of the ordinary, but depending on the package you choose, you can also use your remote app to control your lights, locks and thermostat. It is incredibly useful to be able to use an app to unlock the door for someone you trust, such as a babysitter or petsitter, even when you are many miles away from home.
Also, with the video doorbell that comes with higher level monitoring packages, you can actually see and speak to the person at your door via your smart device. You don’t need to be at home in order to take advantage of this great security feature.
