When I bought our house, there were remnants of many different security systems left behind.
It is an older beach house and some of the equipment had been hardwired in. There was a huge security panel located in a closet that had once controlled a series of cameras and alarms. There were wireless sensors installed on all of the windows plus exterior doors. There were floodlights mounted near the peak of the roof. Both of us also had signs for the security monitoring device posted all the way around the property. I had no idea what to do with all of the equipment, but none of it was working. Some of it looked brand new. I considered calling the security supplier listed on the posted signs and seeing about reactivating their equipment. In the end, I figured that the signs would be okay to deter a break-in. About 2 years ago, I took our family on a ten-day getaway over the holiday. Both of us had a good time on a tropical beach. When the group of us came home, the group of us discovered that our cabin had been broken into plus robbed. They stole our television, speakers, laptops, some cash plus small appliances. They also caused mangle to furniture and carpeting. Having signs advertising a security system didn’t help. I realized the two of us needed a modern, working security system. Both of us substituted all of the old equipment and began new. We now have state-of-the-art surveillance cameras, automated door locks plus sensors for glass breakage, smoke, moisture plus movement. The streamlined system looks better, provides total peace of mind plus has also lowered our insurance payments.
