Are home security systems necessary in Phoenix?

An average of nearly 3,000 burglaries take place in Phoenix each month, along with over 4,400 thefts. If you knew that a home security system company could reduce your risk of becoming one of those statistics, wouldn’t you want to hear what they had to say? At Tekna Security and Smart Home, we build and install the best home security systems in Arizona, making it possible for you to maximize your safety, security, and peace of mind.

You might wonder whether a home security system is likely to deter a burglar. The simple answer is, “yes.” Burglars generally commit crimes of opportunity. A door or window left open, a package left on a doorstep, or a car left running in a driveway are all opportunities for someone to take advantage of the situation. A home security system, however, particularly one that includes video monitoring, smart lights, and other technology, is an effective deterrent.

Your smart home security system will also alert you to some of the opportunities that a potential burglar might find enticing. For example, if you accidentally leave your garage door open, you’ll get an alert on your phone and you can close it with the touch of a button. Removing the opportunity and setting up a deterrent will minimize your chances of being profiled for a burglary or home invasion.

What are smart home security systems?

You have certain patterns in your life that you might or might not be aware of. A smart home security system picks up on those patterns and will alert you when something seems not quite right. Do you ever get a funny feeling in the pit of your stomach when you realize that something is amiss? A smart home security system picks up on variations to your normal routine and lets you know what they are.

Home security camera systems keep track of who has been to your home. If you’re expecting a package, you can check your front porch or stoop to see if it has arrived via your workplace, the gym, the grocery store, or wherever you are at the time. If for some reason the package goes missing, you’ll have a video recording of people who have approached your door.

Your smart home security system can tell you when your child or the dog sitter arrives at your home. Each individual has a programmed code to enter as they go into the house. You’ll be able to see whether they locked the door and you’ll get the chance to do that yourself if they have forgotten. You’ll even be able to tell your smart home security system to turn on the air conditioning or a front light at a certain time, keeping your homecoming comfortable and safe.

What do the best home security systems have in common?

When it comes to safety, the best home security systems will have a few features in common. First, you are going to need to know if someone gains access to your home that they are not supposed to have. If the system is not disarmed by someone with the code but the door lock opens, your smart home security system should let you know.

Secondly, if a door or window is left open, it gives a potential burglar easy access to your home. In the case of this type of oversight, it is vital that your security system alerts you so you can take the steps needed to secure your home. Any good home security system will have this capability.

Finally, an effective system will let both you and the authorities know if a window is broken. Glass-break sensors will make you aware of a common entry point for people with sinister intentions.

For those who want additional protection for their Phoenix, Arizona home and the people inside of the home, features such as smart light switches and thermostats will provide an added layer of peace. For example, if you are the caretaker for an elderly relative and he or she is usually up and turning on the lights by 9:00 am, you can set your smart home security system to alert you if the lights are not turned on by 10:00. This can allow you to check on your family member before too much time has passed. This type of technology can be lifesaving and should be considered by anyone with young, elderly, or ill family members living in the home.

Wireless home security camera systems - A good choice?

There are several advantages to choosing a wireless home security system, which is what Harmony Security utilizes. The first advantage is that nobody can cut your lines and affect the system. If a potential thief sees your home security system and is tempted to cut the phone lines or the electric lines, no worries: We use a cellular system that will keep the signal up and running.

Various types of outages can cause interruption of some home security systems, including power outages and damage to internet lines. With a wireless home security system, you don’t have to worry about whether a storm has knocked out your power or whether your WiFi router is malfunctioning. We use a dedicated cellular server to keep your system up and running no matter what.

Wireless home security camera systems do go through the WiFi, but if power does go out, either from a storm or because lines are cut, you will receive a notification on your phone. The system will also communicate with the local utility company and will let you know if the issue is specific to your home or if other homes in the area are also affected. You will always be aware of the situation so you can make decisions based on that information.

What are the benefits of hiring a professional installer vs a DIY home security system?

Some Phoenix homeowners might be tempted to put in a DIY home security system. While this might be a less expensive option, the advantages of investing in a professionally installed system will often make the investment worthwhile.

The first consideration is purely logistical: When you are doing it yourself, it can be difficult to drill the holes, connect the wiring, hang the equipment, and configure all of the electronics properly. If there is an issue, you will likely have to contact someone at a call center who might or might not be qualified to answer your question.

Having a professional installer means that not only will all of the physical logistics be handled by someone who knows what they are doing but the professional will also be able to troubleshoot and detect any problems right then and there. You won’t be placed on hold or have your call dropped while the customer service agent on the other end is trying to transfer you.

Another benefit is that you might end up paying less for the system if you have a professional home security system company install it. First, dedicated companies can get better prices on components than private buyers and they pass along those savings to their customers. Secondly, any warranty that you receive with a DIY system could be voided if you inadvertently install the system incorrectly. This is not a concern with a professional installation.

Finally, when you choose a Harmony Security system, you will have ongoing support to go along with your home security and video monitoring services. You will have the expertise of a trusted name in Phoenix, so you won’t ever feel that you are on your own when it comes to any type of question or concern.

Can you upgrade your existing home security system?

Yes, you can upgrade an existing home security system in most cases. Whether you have a hardwired system or a wireless system that is no longer in use, your Tekna professional can talk to you about the different options available for upgrading the existing system. We can often add features or perform any repairs that are needed. If it’s an old Tekna system, you can even do some of the updates through your app.

How much do home security systems cost?

One common question that we receive is about how much a home security system costs. All of our security systems are installed for no money down. This includes upgrading hardwired systems as well as installing new wireless systems. There is an up-front fee for some of the home-automation devices such as door locks, thermostats, cameras, and so on. The average is $200 per device.

The monthly monitoring fees range from $35 to $46 per month , depending on whether you need security only, the ability to control your system from your device, or the addition of the smart home devices. During your free consultation, you will learn about what is included at each price point so you can make the decision that is right for you.
