Why Get a Home Security System?
An increasing number of people are installing home security systems for protection and peace of mind. Experts estimate nearly 25% of all U.S. households with broadband internet have a professionally monitored home security system, and 2.5% more have a self-monitored system. Those numbers are rising due in part to cheaper equipment, greater availability of broadband internet, and more Do-It-Yourself installation options.
3 Questions To Choose The RIGHT Home Security System
You’ve decided to invest in home security. How do you decide which system is right for you? The Vince Carter Team asks 3 questions that can make a BIG difference.
How much protection do you need?
How much protection you need depends largely on crime in your area, and the parts of your home you want to monitor or protect. Decide if you want protection just while you're away--door sensors, motion detectors, and fire alarms--or also while you are home--door sensors, glass-break sensors, motion detectors, and cameras.
