February is here.  This is a strange month for many people.  The New Year has come and gone.  For many, it is the coldest, darkest month.  For others, spring is on the mind.  Spring break is only a few weeks away.  Strangely, this means people often fall into despair.  They worry about their resolutions that have fallen through while they worry about making spring plans.

If you put buying home security equipment on that 2020 to-do list, be serious with yourself about this question:  Did you do it?  If you did, congrats!  Be sure to tell your friends about the benefits of security equipment.

If you didn’t follow up on your plan, or it didn’t even make your list, don’t panic.  It isn’t too late to invest in home security equipment.  That’s good news!  You can do it now.  You can make it a February goal.  No sweat!

Write it down to make sure you do it.  Set a deadline: “I will call a company about Burglar Alarm Systems in Key Biscayne by Friday.”

Here is some advice for those on the fence about investing in home security equipment.

• Look at the whole package. Somebody might hear home security and think motion detection lights.  Others will think security cameras.  Some will think action! It doesn’t matter what your definition of home security is because there is always a little more to add to the equation.  One popular choice is a Closed-Circuit Television Security Camera System, known as CCTV.  Another notable choice is access control systems.  No matter what you want, a security professional can talk you through the options.  If nothing else, open a search engine and type in the search words to get started: Burglar Alarm Systems in Key Biscayne.
• Do you homework when it comes to the reviews. Not all security systems or security system installation companies are created equal. It may be tempting to buy a wireless system at a big box retail store and call it day. Those systems often do not last a long time.  They also are easier to hack.  There are even documented cases of people being contacted by hackers to let them know that their security system is easy to access.  Don’t trust the cell phone company either.  They offer packages, but they aren’t always the best price nor the best quality.  Better to call in a pro!
• Timing is everything. Why did you put off calling a security company in the first place?  Maybe you thought you live in a safe neighborhood or that you don’t have any travel plans soon.  Safety and security are an illusion.  Just because nothing has ever happened where you live doesn’t mean it cannot or will not.  Be advised.  Another thought:  Will you actually be traveling for spring break?  It is such a popular time to travel that criminals may already be eyeing your house for when you away.  One tip: Do not post on social media that you will be out of town (and your house will be unoccupied).
