Help Your Kids Be Safer In The Summertime

16 June, 2010

We worry less about our children during the school year because we know where they are from a good eight hours each day. That's not to say we don't know where they are in the summer, just that there are a lot of places for them to be, and none of them are school. It's very important that your children know your phone number, how to reach you at work, how to reach other family members, which neighbor they can go to if they're locked out of the house, and how to call 911 in the event of an emergency.

Some houses also have the dubious distinction of being the place where every kid in the neighborhood hangs out for the summer. These kids need to know about home security.They need to know where the exits are, what to do in the event a fire breaks out, not to answer the door for strangers, and how to arm and disarm the home security system.

A monitored ADT home security system includes the ability to arm and disarm the entire system with the push of a single button from a wireless keychain remote. Teach your children about home security, and how to properly enable and disable the home security and burglar alarm system in your house. No child should ever have an unsafe summer break from school.

Stop Them Before They Get Into Your House

14 June, 2010

There's no question that keeping your doors and windows locked, and arming your monitored ADT home security burglar and fire alarm system are great ways to protect your house and family. However, stopping burglars in their tracks, before they have a chance at your house, is also a great way to protect your home and family.

Security floodlights can be a very effective tool for keeping potential burglars off your property and away from your house. When used properly floodlights will illuminate the dark areas of your property, and remove the potential to hide in the shadows.

Consider using motion detectors with some of those floodlights, particularly those that do not need to be on all night. Motion detectors will turn the lights on when something breaches its security zone. Burglars do not like to be lighted up like that, and will most likely turn and run away.

Floodlights are a great addition to your professionally installed and monitored ADT home security system. Keeping the bad guys away from your home is what it's all about.

Why Wireless Home Security Systems ?

9 June, 2010

Why would a homeowner today choose a wireless home security system versus a traditional wired system? Two reason. First, ease of installation. Second, wireless allows for the most options.

Traditional home security systems were connected with actual wires. This meant a lot of drilling into drywall, and running wires throughout your house. Installations used to be an all day job, and home owners were often left with holes in walls that made them particularly unhappy.

Wireless technology is everywhere today, and that includes your monitored ADT home security system. No more running wires all over your house. Simply place the wireless component where you want it and turn it on. It will transmit a signal to the wireless receiver if its alarm is tripped. This means you can place - or replace - as you need to ensure optimal coverage throughout your house.

ADT equipment is made from state-of-the-art components and technology, and is just the ticket for this modern era of computers and all things wireless.

Safety Tips For New Homeowners

7 June, 2010

Most people who purchase a new home – one previously owned – they never really stop to consider just how many times that house has changed hands. Here's a tip: It should be a big concern.

So, how many previous home owners have lived in the house you just purchased? Unless your house is brand new then there's a pedigree of homeowners. What this means to you as the new owner of that house is that unless you change the locks to all the exterior doors you cannot be certain how many house keys are floating around out there that can unlock and open any of your doors.

Many homeowners just never stop to think about this. They're handed the keys to their house and that's the end of that. Changing the locks should be the first thing you, as a new homeowner, should to before getting settled.

The next thing you should do is have a monitored ADT home security system professionally installed. Consider it a house warming gift from you, to yourself. You'll be happy you did!

Desperate Burglar Steals Wheelchair Ramp

4 June, 2010

You might feel like convincing yourself that there are some things a burglar just won't ever steal, or that nothing you own is of any value to a thief, but you're just begging to be proven wrong. Read on if you're skeptical.

Police in Ohio say they're looking for burglars who stole a wheelchair ramp from a woman's home. The thirty-four-year-old homeowner says she discovered Thursday morning that someone had stolen the 10-foot wooden ramp leading from the porch to the sidewalk at her home in Elyria.

Doesn't that beat all? A wheelchair ramp! The homeowner says she can walk short distances but uses an electric wheelchair for longer ones. The ramp is valued at $4,000.

Don't ever think, not even for a second, that a burglar won't steal this or that from your yard, shed, garage, or home. Burglars will take anything of value as proven by this report. Get ADT security for your home today, and give your family the protection they deserve.
