1. I live in a safe neighborhood with a Neighborhood Watch Program. Do I really need a monitored home security system?
While Neighborhood Watch Programs are beneficial, they are not staffed by professional law enforcement personnel. According to the FBI and the National Home Security Council, a burglary is committed every 12 seconds in the United States. That's 86,000 burglaries every year! Homes without a home security system are 2.7 times more likely to be burglarized, so the short answer is "Yes".
2. Won't a "Do it yourself Alarm System" I install myself provide the same level of protection?
A system that you buy and install yourself will certainly sound an alarm and flash lights during a break in, and that may be enough to drive an intruder away, however without
monitoring you'll have to contact police yourself - or depend on your neighbors. Monitoring adds another level of protection that's invaluable.
3. Doesn't setting my lights on a timer offer protection?
Setting lights on a timer actually makes it easier for burglars to target your home. They typically watch a group of houses for a few weeks before making a choice. Lights that always turn on at a specific time are a dead giveaway that no one is home.
4. I've installed sensors on my doors, isn't this comperable to a home security system?
First of all, most burglaries take place with the windows as the main point of entry. Secondly, even if an intruder did enter your home through the door, the occupants of the home would be the only ones who would know it. A panic button on a monitored security system would immediately call for help as well as engage the siren provided with the system.
5. I have indoor pets. Won't they set off my home security system?
Professional home security systems have motion sensors, and it's true pets can set them off. At Valiant Security we offer sensors smart enough to detect and remember animals of varying sizes so you avoid false alarms that happen frequently with other systems.
6. Our builder informed us that our security system would not be under warranty unless the company who prewired our home provided our security system.
First of all your home carries a 10 year builder warranty, and secondly Valiant Security will provide a warranty for your whole security system as if though we originally prewired it.
