While the initial cost of a home security system might be costly, the costs of not having home monitoring for the safety of your family can be far more costly. There are many reasons you should have a home security system.
1. Home Protection from Burglars
The biggest reason to have a home security system is because it will keep your family safe from a break-in by a burglar. Often, the presence of an alarmed system will deter burglars from entering the home. If they are not detered by the presence of the alarm, home monitoring can dispatch the police directly to the home immediately.
2. Fire Protection with Home Monitoring
Alarm systems can keep your family safe from burglars but that isn't the only time the family might need help. A home

Carbon Monoxide Monitoring
Carbon monoxide monitoring is important in every home whether it's wired into the alarm system or not. Carbon monoxide is not detectable by humans. It's odorless and invisible. It's a silent, deadly killer. The only way to detect the gas is through carbon monoxide detectors. The benefit of the detector when it's wired into the alarm system is that help can be dispatched quickly if high levels of carbon monoxide are detected.
4. Protect Your Valuables
While your family is your biggest asset, the second biggest thing in your home is your possessions. You want to protect your items with the right technology. Home monitoring will keep your home safe while you're away at work, or headed on a long vacation.
5. Peace of Mind
While it's terrible to lose money and have to replace your valuables, the sense of violation is the toughest part of a burglary. With a home monitoring system, you know that you can leave your home, and it will be safe and secure in your absense. This peace of mind is the biggest benefit of a home alarm system with home monitoring.
With many alarm systems, you can have remote access to your residence while you're out of the home. This allows you to see any potential problems with the home for yourself as well as having it monitored by professionals. It gives you an added layer of
Every type of building, from a high tech research lab, to a grocery store and even private residences can gain a physical security advantage utilizing CCTV video surveillance to guard against theft and break-ins. CCTV is a great tool for the security professional. It records everything on hours of tape. All that transpires be it; a routine day, a theft or robbery, arguments between employees, irate customers etc. But with all types of CCTV systems on the market one must choose what best fits their needs. As noted by Baker & Benny (2013) “ when considering the design and selection of a video surveillance system, the physical security designer, user, or integrator needs to consider the individual needs of each use case and market with which he or she is working” (p. 123). As in the case of Stew Leonard’s Grocery store, their CCTV’s systems includes 500 cameras! That is a lot of video to review for theft investigations. In the situation concerning the monitoring of the Innsbrook Resort residential properties, the security firm wanted to reduce the amount of false alarms that were occurring and the associated time wasted responding to them (Purvis, 2012, para. 12). In both cases, the clients
Carbon Monoxide can be found any and everywhere. Cars, trucks, small engines, stoves, lanterns, grills, fireplaces, gas ranges, or furnaces do hold and produce Carbon Monoxide. It is easy to ingest, just breathe. Ahhh how do you feel
Carbon monoxide is a major component in smoke from fires. It can cause a loss of mental acuity, acute nausea and severe headaches (Reinhardt 33). Death can occur at extreme levels of this intoxication and it can even cause shortness of breath and dizziness (Reinhardt 35). It may not seem like it is that bad, but one must consider that these things add up and can really affect their health and well-being. The carbon monoxide levels tend to shoot up when the wind speed goes up during daily exposure (U.S. Department of Agriculture 3). It also depends on what kind of duties you have as a firefighter; because those with the highest level of carbon monoxide in their system were a part of the direct attack and those with the least were the fire starters (U.S. Department of Agriculture 3). Carbon monoxide is a powerful poison that can kill you and it is absolut...
These warnings can help users alter their installation’s defensive posture to increase resistance to future attacks. An intrusion detection system is comparable to a burglar alarm system. The car locks to protect the vehicle from theft. In the event someone compromises the lock, the burglar alarm detects this compromise and alarms the owner.
In the future Home confinement and electronic monitoring show know signs of being removed. The only thing that will change is the method because as technology advances we will find new ways to monitor offenders and not just for the bad but for good things that they do. As we progress with technology we might eventually not need to put a receiver in the house but a small sensor can be place throughout the house and parole officers won’t have to go to the house and use the “drive-by” device, instead they will be able to see if the sensors have been tampered with or the wrist/ankle bracelet from their office.
****SHOW NEXT SLIDE Amber Alerts are responsible for many children making it home to their families. Loved ones get to hold their children again due to this system. Amber Alerts are a great thing that we have learned to do, especially after what happened to Amber Hagerman we needed a system like that, and it has helped so many families. This system could
At night if they hear someone coming they will bark and make the burglar run away. They will even strike if the burglar is not scared. You can even trust them to stay at home with the youngling to keep them out of danger. Trust me they will keep you protected in an emergency.
Often referenced as the “silent killer,” (“What is Carbon Monoxide”), carbon monoxide cannot be detected by any of our senses. It is a highly poisonous, combustible gas, which has no color or odor. As a result, it is near impossible to detect and before you realize you are a victim, it may already be too late (“Indoor Air Quality”).
The device and method of electronic monitoring appears to be safe, secure, and an effective way to prevent crime and recidivism from happening; a great deterrence of criminal behavior. And that gives people a false sense of security that since it can track the offender/parolee’s every moment, then surely it can prevent the crime
Also this surveillance are utilized for law enforcements to synchronize data with real time videos from anywhere. As reported by Police Chief Jim McDonnell, “it will help us to respond to crimes better and
Is your home unprotected against the burglars? A lot of homeowners these days are taking it really easy when it comes to the protection of their house.

Samsung phones for years has been upping the technology increase in their phones for people to have better usage of them so it will be forever entertaining and attention grabbing. The latest phone Samsung has to offer is the Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge. It is more cunning, sleeker, and easier to use ever than before; although, you will always have a rival creeping around the corner. The creeping rival is Apple’s latest phone, the iPhone 7 Plus. Both phones came out to be sold respectively with Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Galaxy S7 for short) being released in March of this year (gsmarena.com , Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ) and the iPhone 7 Plus being released in September of this year (cnet.com, paragraph 2). Both phones compete almost on every level almost
There are some major upsides in having cameras in public places. In early 2013 two people set off bombs at the Boston marathon, which killed several people and injured hundreds. The city of Boston had cameras monitoring the streets, and was able to identify the bombers within two days. (La Vigne, Nancy) The FBI was able to catch them before they were able to carry out another planned attack in Times Square, which could have been much, more devastating. In addition to being able to solve crimes that have already happened by using cameras, we are also able to use them and the other technologies that go with it to prevent crime. The National Security Agency has reported that it has prevented several terrorist attacks since 2001 using new technology put in place to prevent the attacks. However, much of the NSA’s tactics have been criticized lately, though the majority of people still agree that it is worth it. Using cameras is also a cheap way to monitor an area. Having to employ several police officers to patrol an area can be expensive and those officers could be out doing more important jobs. When you have cam...
Basically security cameras are basically good and bad in all ways due to helping the public and bad for invading peoples privacy daily which would not surprise me that the government is also up to no good doing all of this but if it helps catches people who are hacking computers from other countries then oh well with that stuff. So in all ways they are good and bad for most public areas besides stores and high criminal activity area parking lots for the US otherwise crime will not stop for the people in the US and privacy will keep being invaded as long there is crime.
