As the capital of Texas, Austin has well over 1 million residents living in its city limits. The eccentric and diverse metropolis is also home to the South by Southwest Music Festival. The growing city is no stranger to its share of crime, especially home burglaries. Installing a LifeShield home security system is the first step you can take to protect your home and family.
We know your safety is important and with lots of options on the market choosing an alarm system can be a difficult decision. Not only is it important to think about the features you’d like now, but it can save you time and money to also consider the longevity of your system. If you plan on moving or adding any devices, wireless is your best bet.
The LifeShield home security system is wireless and its “plug and protect” technology makes it very portable. Unlike hard-wired systems, a wireless unit can go with you when you move. Wireless systems are also very easy to upgrade with additional sensors, cameras, and detectors. They do not require any drilling or wiring to each individual device so the process is very easy.
Components you may want to add:
- Door and window sensors: You’ve moved to a bigger home and now have additional entries you’d like to protect. Sensors can also be placed on liquor or gun cabinets to alert you when they’ve been opened.
– Motion detector: These are great for open areas of your home. If there is any motion sensed in the protected area a signal will be sent to the monitoring center right away.
- Glass break sensor: If you have a sliding glass door or large window, place a sensor nearby to signal any damage.
- Security cameras: In home cameras give you the peace of mind you’re looking for. Place them in any room to know what’s going on in your home in real time.
- Flood and temperate sensor: If you have a vacation home these sensors will let you know if there are any problems while you’re away.
- Fire and carbon monoxide sensor: This will send a signal to the monitoring center immediately if an alarm is detected. Minutes truly matter when it comes to your safety.
- Window and yard signs: Let potential burglars know your home is protected by a security system to decrease your chance of being a target.
Do your research and choose the security system that works best for you. Whether you live in a home in the suburbs or a high-rise in the city installing an Austin home security system is the best way to protect your home.
