Security and safety for your family and property is of primary importance to homeowners. Our team members receive quite a few questions regarding general home security information. For your convenience and knowledge, we’ve included the answers to some of the most common queries for you:

  • Is a home security system effective?

While a security system can’t ensure that your home will never be a target, installing one does considerably reduce the risk of a home break-in or intrusion. Most burglars and ill-minded individuals, look for any security systems, for instance; CCTV or Security Cameras and or alarm systems before breaking into a house, and most will move on to another target if a house has a security system in place.

  • How much does a security system cost, and is it worth it?

When it comes to investing in a security system, the cost varies widely, and rates depend on the type of protection you seek. Your security system provider, will advise on the best system tailored for your house. This is by taking into consideration aspects like; the value of your home, jewelry, electronics, antiques, and other valuables kept in your house. When evaluating the importance of investing in a home security system, be sure to factor in the value of your family’s peace of mind. If having a home security system will help you and your loved ones sleep a little easier, that’s certainly worth considering. In addition, Security systems act as deterrents in that, the cost of having one can be lower than the overall damage caused in case of an incident.

  • What kinds of home security cameras are the best?

There are various modern indoor/outdoor security cameras for home security which are; full color, full motion and high resolution. The best security cameras should have night vision and quickly adapt to changes in lighting. Some allow remote monitoring and control via a mobile device or computer. Similarly Opticom Kenya Limited offers a combined security alarm system and monitoring service which entirely provides the ultimate peace of mind when it comes to protecting your home.

  • Do home security systems also protect against fire?

The beauty of an integrated security system not only guards against intruders, but also protects against environmental disasters by detecting heat and smoke. A security system integrated alongside an automatic fire detection and alarm system aids in detecting the fire at the early stages and alarm the occupants.

  • Which is better, Hardwired or wireless security systems?

Most of the modern security systems are wireless this is due to some risks involved in the use of hardwired system; for instance; wires being cut and they also involve more labor for installation too.

The perks of using of wireless systems; they can be used in more places and can be installed in minutes. They’re portable too; you can move a wireless system from one property to another. One of the biggest challenge with some wireless systems is in case of an electricity or internet failure, then that might interfere with the transmission.
