The Complete Guide to Home Security

The Security System Essentials

Let’s discuss what your home security system needs and how to get the best bang for your buck.

Indoor & Outdoor Security Cameras

Adding indoor and outdoor security cameras to your home can be a huge blessing. From keeping tabs on your kids to checking on your house while you’re on vacation, there’s nothing like knowing your home is safe and secure no matter where you are.

Security Sensors

When it comes to home security basics, sensors are a top priority. In order to properly protect your home, a variety of security sensors can be implemented. Whether you need window sensors or a motion detector, a DIY system can be customized to fit your exact needs.

Smoke Detectors

Every home is outfitted with a system of smoke detectors. A DIY security system can be outfitted with state-of-the-art smoke detectors ran through a structured wiring system. This system is run through one large central backup battery that only needs to be changed every five to seven years.

Structured Wiring

Reed’s Built-Ins offers a home security system ran through a structured wiring system. This keeps your wiring organized and the system simple. This gives you a wireless network that’s designed for fast and easy connection.

Optional Monitoring

Every Reed’s Built-Ins security system includes a year of free monitoring service. After the year you can continue the monitoring service with a monthly-based subscription. This gives you the freedom you need without any of those multi-year contracts that trap you in a service.

Why DIY?

Now let’s discuss why DIY Security is your best option.

Customization and Selection

One of the main reasons DIY security is the safest route to go is that you have the options you need to get exactly you want without getting things you don’t need. Don’t want professional monitoring? That’s fine. You have the option to sign up for professional monitoring if you want and can turn it off if you don’t. Need outdoor security cameras but not indoor? You can customize your system to fit your exact needs. You also have the option to upgrade your system at any time.

Simple Installation

The name might fool you but DIY security systems by Reed’s Built-Ins offer the same installation convenience as those other guys. The team at Reed’s Built-Ins handles the tricky installation, without those extra charges racked up by the security monitoring companies. Ready to move? We’re here to help. We can help you take your security straight to your next place— no problem.

State-of-the-Art Equipment

Does the chirping smoke detector in the highest vaulted ceiling of your home keep you up at night? With a security system from Reed’s Built-Ins, you no longer need to worry about replacing batteries in smoke detectors every six months. Thanks to our state-of-the-art equipment our systems run off of one large central backup battery that is easily accessible and only needs to be changed every five to seven years.

Total Protection

Most people think of a security system consisting of a few door, window, and motion sensors that make a lot of noise or calls out when violated. We can build a basic system that does just that, but we like to take it a step further. An advanced system maximizes the capabilities of the panel to also monitor and protect other aspects of the home such as smoke/heat detectors, fire sprinklers, carbon monoxide, flood sensors, and freeze sensors.

Affordability

Have you been frustrated by one of those security companies with their high-pressure sales tactics and expensive monthly contracts? Don’t waste your time with those freebie systems that get you stuck in long-term contracts. At Reed’s Built-Ins, we offer DIY security systems that actually give you what you need. Forget about high monthly monitoring charges, company-run systems will end up costing you more money than you bargained for. The worst part? You don’t even own the system, they do.

When you buy a security system from Reed’s Built-Ins, you own the system. This means that we won’t come walking through your home, taking equipment off the wall if you stop your monitoring services. With every new system we sell, you get one year of free monitoring and you can continue the monitoring option after that with affordable pay-as-you-go service. You also have the option to simply add a dialer that calls your cell phone to alert you in the event of a problem. We don’t offer multi-year contracts, so you have the flexibility to do whatever you want.
