security system for home
Now that you’ve decided the type of system you want, what unique features does it offer you and what sets it apart from the other systems in the home
security system realm?For instance, nowadays, most DIY security systems come with a smartphone app through which you get alerts. Others come with automation features such as smart access control which makes it possible for you to remotely control your lights and door locks, hence enabling you to let people into your home even when you are away without compromising its security. Others automatically send alerts whenever your pets or kids go into a restricted area, while others have automation features which automatically turn on your hallway lights in case of an intrusion. To sum it up, go for a system that is worth
every cent you spend on it. Ensure you go through the agreement and understand every bit of its fine print, especially if the system you opt for comes with real time monitoring services. This is crucial because it will help you find out what type of monitoring your provider will offer, how long the monitoring services will last most last between 2 3 years, Is it possible to opt out before the specified period is over if you find the services unsatisfactory?Do you have to renew it at the end of the period or does it auto renew?Reading and understanding the contract is of the essence because it will help prevent you from binding yourself with an unsatisfactory home security system service.

security alarm home
99 per month for three years and includes monitoring, but you'll pay a $99 activation fee and you don't own the equipment at the end of the lease. Or, you can pay $299. 99 upfront for the hardware and still get monitoring but avoid the activation fee. If you live in a small apartment and want to keep tabs on things when you're not home, a security camera can get the job done for a lot less money than what you'll pay for a full security system. Nearly all standalone security cameras connect to your home's Wi Fi so you can see what's going on from your phone or tablet, and most have built in sensors that detect motion and sound and will send push and email
notifications when those sensors are triggered. You can usually tweak the camera's motion sensitivity to prevent false alarms due to pet activity or passing cars if the camera is near a window, and you can create a schedule that turns the sensors on and off
during certain hours of the day. A smart lock is typically part of a robust smart home security setup, but you don't have to invest in a full blown system to use one. If you're using a home automation hub to control things like lighting and thermostats, you can add a Z Wave or Zigbee smart lock to the system without much effort. Alternately, if you don't have a home automation hub, look for a Wi Fi or Bluetooth lock that comes with its own mobile app. Smart locks use standard pre drilled holes and are fairly easy to install. Some models use your existing keyed cylinder and deadbolt hardware and attach to the inside of your door, while others require that you remove your existing interior and exterior escutcheons and replace the deadbolt and strike hardware.

Nothing makes you feel more comfortable and cozy than a crackling roaring fire on a cold winter day. A fireplace instantly infuses character and charm into any room and gives the space its personality. A formal living room fireplace lets us know it’s a more mature space to relax or retire to on special occasions. The more rustic stacked stone fireplace in the family room calls for everyone to kick back, relax and nestle in for a casual family gathering. The dining room fireplace my personal favorite
invites your friends and family to linger around the dining table for evenings filled with great food and even better conversation. If your fireplace is centrally located within a wall and is flanked by windows or bookcases that are the same dimensions on each side, then you’re dealing with a more traditional space and personality – which speaks to a more traditional furniture placement. Pairs are important here. Flank a pair of comfortable and inviting chairs or similar in size, design and proportion on either side of the fireplace. Place your sofa directly facing the fireplace and you now have a comfortable conversation area. Situate a cocktail table, ottoman or other surface in front of the sofa. Dress the
mantle with a mirror, art, and other accessory pairs.
