ADT vs. Frontpoint Home Security Systems
We live in the “do it yourself” era. “Do it yourself” is a common catch phrase but when it comes to matters of security, it is wise to place your trust in the hands of security experts. With access to the Internet, people are more and more becoming dependent on an anonymous voice. The opinion of a blog weighs in as heavily if not more so than the voice of an authority figure. The statistics are up and our well-being is no longer in the hands of our doctors but in the hands of the Internet. It tells us the symptoms and the cure. However, there is a missing factor and that is experience. When it comes to home security, you want experience. The experience of a company that has been in operation for nearly one hundred and forty years has a lot of weight. They know what it takes to provide total, uncompromised security. Each home has its own vulnerabilities and each area has statistics that professionals keep close to home. When a security company does its job, it is not a one size fits all kind of an installation. It is tailored for your residence and for your budget. It comes with years of experience and the wisdom that only experience can bring.
There are some security models that function in an “out of the box” kind of way. They are a “do it yourself” model and supply a one size fits all security system. There are apt to be many surprises with this kind of system and the peace of mind that homeowners think they are getting may be just a superficial band-aid of sorts.
When it comes to home security, you can place your trust in a name that has been around the block a few times, ADT, the home security professionals.
The Important First Step
When you contact Home Security Concepts, the authorized ADT dealer in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale area, a free, and no obligation consultation will be the first step. A trained and knowledgeable home surveillance specialist, familiar with the crime trends in your area, will inspect your home for vulnerable points of entry, visibly and physically. He or she will know what to look for from a security perspective. They will discuss your concerns and your needs and put together several options that will include budgetary needs.
Taking all this criteria into account will enable the system that is installed to suit your needs on many levels.
Is there a basement door that is troubling you or garage access that you would like to make secure? Every single aspect of your home’s security, once it is attended to professionally and correctly should provide total peace of mind. The price? Priceless.
What’s the Point?
Frontpoint addresses issues of security in the home from the perspective of your say so. Click and choose the items on their screen and low and behold, you have total protection. I think not. Home security is a little more complex than that. The issues of crime statistics that are plaguing every community need to be addressed individually. There are neighborhood trends and there are city trends of crime statistics. Without the professional say so, there is apt to be an area that is overlooked and in the true definition of home security there should be 100 percent coverage.
