Pet safety is a concern for many families today. Cats, dogs and other animals play an important role in the family dynamic. There are several features available in residential security systems Tampa FL which allow family members to know that in case of an emergency, their pets will be safe. This is especially important when the animals are left home alone all day. Fires, break-ins and natural disasters may make the home unsafe. A home video surveillance and security system can help owners look out for their pets' well-being, as well as the rest of the family's.

What type of certifications does the company carry? Are the technicians certified as well? By law, these security companies are required to either show their license numbers in the state they are operating in or their exemption must be clearly stated via the state in which they are working. Make sure you check this out.

Avoid purchasing a home alarm system from eBay or through the Internet. Be especially leery of purchasing a used home security system. Look at all the options that can be added to your security system. Evaluate what will best secure your home. All alarm systems are not a proper fit for all homes. Buy one that best suits the unique challenges of your home. Avoid one size fits all solutions for your home safety needs.

Remote Video. When people have remote video systems in their homes, they can watch pets or other family members from their Smartphone or office computer. A touchscreen enables homeowners to view different rooms in the home, including the pet's sleeping and feeding areas, the front door and other designated camera feeds in the home. In the event of a natural disaster or other emergency, owners will be able to monitor their pets to find out where they are and if and how they need help.

What is the monthly monitoring fee for the system and how long is the contract? To be honest, this is where these "$99 and low-cost install" security organizations make their money. Typically, you would be looking at a 24 or 36-month contract with a rather hefty penalty if you break it.

Choose a sound for your alarm such as a siren, or fire bell. Just make sure that the noise is loud. Some interior alarms are not loud enough to be heard from the street and will not arouse the attention of neighbors. Look for decibels above 100db.

Entry and Access. In the event of a break-in, while no one is there, an intruder may take items, create damage and possibly hurt any animals on the premises. A swift exit will also mean that the doors or windows may be left open. The pets may leave as well, either chasing the intruder or simply wandering away unattended. Having restricted entry will let the homeowners know that there has been a break-in and video cameras will let them know when and if the intruder has left and whether the family's cats and dogs are all right or running free.

As you can see, questions can arise from other questions, but if you stick to these seven (and I am sure more can be thought of and mentioned), you will be well versed to make a very important and informed decision that gives you the peace of mind you deserve for yourself and what you are protecting.
