Got Alarm System Home!

Posted on by

OK, I must say this is just awesome! I got my alarm system home a week ago and it has already paid for itself. Now I will explain…

See I always thought home alarms were for just inside, or better said for the door alarms, window alarms and maybe a motion detector or two. I also thought it was a pain in the rear to arm the darn thing. Hence why I never had a house alarm… You know me, I follow the KISS rule, Keep It Simple Stupid! Then I met with this guy in my area, OK I admit he was cute, but he also showed me some stuff that made home alarms seem not so bad.

For example I have a remote that connects straight to my alarm system home keypad and turns it on when I leave the house. It even has a panic button. I feel like I have a life alert alternative going on, “I’ve fallen and can’t get up! Send help!” Seriously though it is kind of nice to have just in case, I can be clumsy at times.

But back to the point at hand, how as it paid for itself? For that I must go back a few months. I had sod installed at my house, irrigation the whole 9 yards. The yard looked great for about 5 months then yellow spots starting popping up. I used fertilizer, tried water, tried not watering, you name it, nothing worked. And worse more were coming up all over the place. Now please don’t think badly of me but I was ticked! I spent A LOT of money on this stuff and it was dying!

When they put in my house security system they also put in home security cameras. With these I found out what those spots were! My neighbor was letting his dog out to do it’s “business” in my yard!!! I obviously confronted him about it and of course he denied everything, typical! BUT I have it on video! So now he can either replace my sod that his dog has ruined himself or I just take my video to court and then he will pay to have my sod replaced and possibly get me a new car… you know I love to drive!

I am not cold hearted, but I do take pride in myself and my home, any damage is taken as a personal assault. Guess that will teach him huh!

Home Alarms

Well a single girl can never be too careful. But the more I think about it if you have a family, kids, you probably have more to keep safe than someone like me. Of course I have my Coach bags, and stuff like that but those things can all be replaced. Then you have the complication of being able to remember to set it. See not having kids I don’t have to remember much and often I forget my own keys when I leave the house, so how could house security sink in?

Then this really cute guy came by and told me some more. Yes, I know I should have been able to listen to anyone, but a cute guy always catches my attention! He told me some things that I never knew. Things like there is now a remote to activate your door alarms, window alarms, and motion detectors. It even has a panic button. Kind of like your car alarm where you can set it off by hitting the red button. You can do the same thing with your home alarm now. Who knew!

The alarm alert from the home alarm systems sends information directly to the people that can come to help. I love having everything nice and simple, and in this case it was even cheap! Not that what I got was cheap, but it will definitely leave me some extra to do what I really love, shop and drive, or drive to where I can shop! You would be surprised how cheap the coverage is for a home alarm system, mine is less per month than it costs to fill up my gas tank! AND I got the alarm equipment free!
