FAQ
What is the difference in surveillance and security cameras?
Surveillance cameras may be used to monitor, but security cameras can also be used to protect.
Each camera has its advantages and disadvantages. The only thing that distinguishes them is the type and quality of images they produce. Surveillance cameras record video at slow speed, so you can see what's going on in real-time. Security cameras on the other side only record video and still photographs, which are saved for later review.
Do motion sensors have alarms

How To
What to look for in a Home Security Monitoring company
When choosing a home security company, there are many factors to consider. Make sure you have someone who is familiar with what they are doing. Ask around to find out if there are any other people who have used this service provider. If no one recommends them then don't use them. Ask your family and friends if they would recommend this company. This way you get honest feedback from people who actually use the services. Also, go online and read reviews about the company. Check out their website. Seek out customer feedback and complaints. Take a look at negative comments and find out why they were written. It could be an indication that something is wrong with a client.
Next is to verify references. You can also call past clients to ask how the service was received. How satisfied were they with the quality work? Did everything go as planned? Check that the previous company was reliable. They didn't just give you a quote and disappear without finishing the job.
Next, be sure to choose an insured company. A good insurance policy means that if anything happens to your property while you're away, they'll cover the damages. They offer 24 hour emergency services, so you don't need them to be available during business hours.
You should also check if maintenance and installation are included in the contract. Some companies charge extra for these services, which makes sense because installing and maintaining equipment takes time and money. However, some companies only provide basic monitoring services, which isn't enough for most homeowners.
Ensure that the company has reasonable prices. Don't pay too much for a poor product. Always compare apples to apples when comparing providers. A basic monitoring service might cost $150 per month, while a different provider might charge $200 per months for the same services. So, if you want to save money, you need to shop around.
