You would need a new home security alarm if you don’t already have an existing alarm or if that existing system is too old. New security alarms will typically come with a basic package that will give you a very good level of coverage. Every alarm company will have a new home security alarm package that they will install for a monthly monitoring fee and usually a set-up fee of some kind. Any equipment beyond the normal package will cost extra for more equipment.
Walker Home Security has some of the best deals available on new home alarms. We can alter our basic package deal and mix and match to better meet your needs if our normal home security alarm doesn’t meet your needs. Additionally, we will save you big when it comes to upgrades. As well, Walker Home Security is currently providing set-up of alarms for absolutely no activation fee and no installation fee or any kind. It is most typical to have some sort of a set-up fee with most companies.
Your system type will differ depending on whether you have a one-story or two-story home. Two-story homes have limited ability to run wires so you would most likely need a wireless home security alarm. Most one-story homes on the other hand have attic space and you would therefore get a hard-wired system installed. In both cases you of course receive a professional installation. Neither type of system is necessarily better then the other (wireless vs. hard-wired). Remember, regardless of whether you live in a one-story or two-story, if your home was pre-wired for a home security alarm you already have all wires run and would have a hard-wired install. However, if you didn’t have a pre-wired home and you live in a two-story home then you would have to have a wireless alarm. Also, if you have an existing system you would want to refer to the section on existing security systems.
85% of break-ins occur through an exterior door. So, it would be wise to have all exterior doors covered. Usually, that number is 3 but if you have more you would want to have them covered.
Usually you will have a motion or two placed inside the home to catch anyone walking around while you are not there. This set-up will cover the vast majority of potential break-ins. You can add more to any system but there would be a diminishing return and redundancy. Having said that, everyone’s needs are different and after you have provided yourself with the basic deterrent factor then additional security is up to you. Of course your security system is upgradeable at any time should you desire to add on to it.
