Things to Consider When Choosing a Home Alarm

Know your ultimate goal when choosing a home
alarm system

• Do you want to prevent burglars from getting in,
  catch them red-handed or both? An inexpensive
  surveillance system with cameras can sound an
  alarm if an intruder opens a door or window. With
  luck, you could catch criminals in the act.
• Unfortunately, any robber with a cheap ski mask
  can circumvent the camera. If the camera is
  installed improperly, you wont get a clear
  picture of the crook, anyway.
• Fortunately, more sophisticated options exist. If
  you want to have comprehensive coverage, choose a
  model that combines audible alarms, intrusion
  sensors and surveillance. Most systems today also
  have a mobile app that sends you an alert and
  live video of whats happening at your house.
  Depending on its features, a system can alert you
  when someone enters or leaves the premises or
  when the door of your liquor or gun cabinet
  opens. It can also send video clips of who goes
  into a house or even a specific room.

DIY or professional install?

• You can save money by installing a security
  system yourself. In addition, a DIY install
  allows you to set the system up just the way you
  like it. But youll need to be handy, especially
  if you choose a system with multiple features.
  You have to be able to hang equipment, connect it
  to a landline, internet, or cellular network, and
  work out the kinks on your own.
• If you want a prompt, flawless installation, hire
  a pro. The installer can walk you through the ins
  and outs of your system so that you know how to
  operate it. This way, you can feel confident in
  the tool and avoid triggering a false alarm (some
  local authorities have started charging for false
  alarms).

Moving soon or staying put?

• If you have a monitored home alarm system and you
  ever plan to move, find out what the alarm
  company offers in terms of relocation packages.
  They might offer a relocation kit or set you up
  with the same equipment at your new home, along
  with a renewed contract. You also can ask the
  people buying your home to take over the
  contract. Or, you can pay whatever is left in
  your agreement. At PHT Security Systems, we offer
  Wireless Security Alarm System services to
  simplify your move and ensure peace of mind.

Wireless or cellular?

• The ideal, most comprehensive form of protection
  involves both a wireless set-up with cellular
  monitoring. This makes the system less vulnerable
  to outages and prevents burglars from cutting the
  wires or breaking the system.

Choosing a home alarm system based on customer
service

• Customer service can vary dramatically across
  security companies. For instance, you might have
  to navigate an automated system whenever you have
  a problem. Or you might get a live person who
  acts like they are on a mission to squeeze
  commission out of you. For the best results,
  check out a companys website and their customer
  reviews before working with them.
• If you choose PHT Security Systems for your home
  security system, you can expect honest, reliable
  customer service from Day One. We have garnered
  numerous positive reviews over the years. Our
  customers appreciate our dedication and total
  focus on their goals and needs.
