Turn Your Home into a Fortress with Pinnacle Security Add-Ons

Posted on November 26, 2012 by dstaples

Anyone that already has a Pinnacle Security system installed in their home will know just how well their property is protected against the threat of intrusion; however, never one to rest on their laurels, Pinnacle continues to strive for the best possible security solutions to their customers. What this means is that there is a whole host of extra add-ons that can be added to a system, effectively turning your castle into a fortress. Let’s look at several of the items that can be added to a package.

Garage / Tilt Sensor

Not every homeowner is lucky enough to have a garage on the side of their home, but those that do will definitely appreciate the extra space that is provided. A garage can be used to park a car, as a tool workshop, or simply to store items that the main house does not have room for. One thing that’s for certain is that a garage contains numerous items of value. Installing a Garage/Tilt sensor from Pinnacle Security will ensure your garage never becomes the victim of a burglary. The sensor is easily mounted on the back of a garage door and uses a mercury switch to detect whether the door is being tilted. Any movement in the door disrupts the mercury which sends a signal to trigger the alarm. If you happen to be home and your system is disarmed, the loud chiming noise will alert you of disruption.

Glass Break Detector

Burglars are often not the most tactile of people and will look to get into a home anyway they can, even if that means smashing a window. A Pinnacle Security glass break detector will prevent broken glass becoming an easy route for intruders but triggering the alarm as soon as a break is detected. Working up to a range of 25 feet, the detector can be installed on a wall of ceiling and pick up on the pitch and frequency of breaking glass instantly.

Key Remote

If you want more control over your security system, a Key Remote will prove a very useful product. Expertly designed to look like a regular car remote, this handy little gadget will allow to you to arm and disarm the system from within 100 feet of the panel. In addition to this, the Key Remote comes with a built in panic signal, which can be very useful if you were to forget to arm your system and return home to find an intruder at your door. The piercing siren let out by the remote is enough to have even the most brazen of burglars running scared.

Wall Fob

By installing a Wall Fob under a desk or in a bedroom closet, you are effectively creating your very own emergency button. Like the Key Remote, the fob allows you to arm and disarm the system, arm the system in “Stay” and “Away” modes, and create a panic signal to scare off intruders.

The add-ons mentioned here are just a small selection of what Pinnacle Security can offer their customers; turning your home into the Fort Know of your neighborhood.

Protecting Your Home from Opportunist Thieves

Posted on November 7, 2012 by dstaples

As a homeowner, you feel a responsibility to protect your home any which way you can. Unfortunately we live in a world where opportunist thieves will seize upon any opportunity they can to break into a home and steal your possessions with little regard as to their personal worth. Of course, while you are in your home the threat of intrusion decreases, but burglars in this day and age are clever, and will often monitor your home for days before making a move, looking at what time you leave the house for work and what time you return home in the evening. They will then attempt to break into your during the hours you are away. So how can you set about stopping these thieves when you are not home? With a security package, that’s how.

Home Security Packages

While it is possible to head on down to a local hardware store and pick up and alarm system to install in your home, such packages do not offer the level of protection that is required to fully protect the property. How many times has an alarm system sounded off in your neighborhood and people have chosen to ignore it? What you need is a comprehensive home security package. For this I would recommend Pinnacle Security. The company is at the forefront of home security technology and offers a vast range of solutions to protect any property.

With a Pinnacle Security package, the chances are a burglar would be put off even attempting to break into your home before they enter the yard. The first line of defense with a PS package consists of a yard sign and window stickers – the simplest burglar deterrents there is, but enormously effective.

Think about it, if you were a burglar looking for a home to break into, would you choose one with a Pinnacle Security yard sign and window stickers informing you that the home is protected, or would you look elsewhere in the street for a home that shows no sign of being secured? The sign and the stickers may well be there to call your bluff, but is it really worth the risk finding out?

Most thieves will be put off instantly by a Pinnacle Security sign, but for arguments sake let’s say they’re not and decide to take their chances. Your security package will provide you with window and door sensors that pick up on door movement instantly and trigger the alarm. If that is not enough, you will also have motion sensors which detect body heat – distinguishing human body heat from that of a pet.

Monitoring

With a Pinnacle Security essential home package, any sort of attempt to break into your home will trigger the alarm, but as I was saying earlier, a sounding alarm is not always enough to alert neighbors to call the police. For this reason, Pinnacle Security will ensure you system is monitored 24/7 by the emergency services and a triggered alarm will immediately notify the emergency services who can be on the scene in minutes.

There is no value that can be put upon the safety of your family and possessions; this is why you should take every step you can to ensure your home is protected. In my opinion, a Pinnacle Security package is the best way to do this.

Finding out If Your Household Really Is Trustworthy

Posted on September 28, 2012 by dstaples

Finding out if your house is full of trustworthy people isn’t normally something that comes into anybody’s mind; we would all like to think that when we go home we don’t have to worry about things like that. This is a dangerous world, though, and the person that you least expect could be the person stealing your household items. You can never be too careful, and that’s why as a start a hidden camera is the answer to solving the problem.

Finding out If Your Household Really Is Trustworthy

Who’s the Problem?

There could be a number of people who are stealing from your house or doing something that they shouldn’t. It could be a member of your family or it could be that long term babysitter you initially thought was a good kid. It’s not always the case that someone has to have the horns of the devil to be untrustworthy. Some people you can depend on for months and then they suddenly change. Now you can find out exactly what’s going on with a hidden camera.

Hidden Cameras

There are a large variety of hidden cameras that you can invest in. Paying out for a hidden camera can either be a large investment or a small investment. It really depends on where you live and the level of security you are looking for, though. What prompts somebody to invest in home security is also a factor. Many people suspect that somebody is stealing from them and they just want some evidence in which they can confront them with. Others think completely differently and they just want to prevent any possibility of any security holes being breached.

Hidden cameras can come in a wide variety of different forms. There are the cameras that look like cameras and are simply placed on a high shelf whilst pointing at a specific location. Others are disguised as conventional household appliances. Cameras can be placed into the spines of books, the television, or they can even be disguised as a webcam. Decide exactly what you want to do with it and where you want to put it prior to choosing any camera.

Monitoring Options

Your monitoring options are just as important as the camera itself. Two monitoring options are available to you.

1. Firstly, the alarm system or security camera system can be operated and monitored by the company that installed it. They often provide operatives who are on hand 24/7 to watch the feeds and to respond if anything looks to be going wrong, for a small fee.

2. The other option is to have it connected to a laptop where it can be reviewed remotely at anytime of the day or night.

There are benefits and disadvantages to both of these options, so some people will have their preferences. Having an alarm company take control is easier as you never have to worry about it since you know that you’re always covered. On the other hand, other people don’t like the idea of being watched by somebody who they’ve never met. The cost of actually keeping this service is something that can’t be ignored either as the amount being spent will start to mount up.

Monitoring through a laptop gives you more control and it allows you to only review the data that you want to review. More control is also afforded to the individual who owns the laptop, which is always a benefit if the desire is to check up on the kids.
