Although there have been significant declines in crime in the Atlanta over the past decade, burglaries still happen, and have actually increased in some areas. To protect your loved ones and your belongings, it is critical to take measures to deter intrusion into your home. Technological advancements mean that today you can install a home security system and rest easy. But how do you select a good home security system from a bogus system? Here are a few home security tips.
Identify what needs to be protected
To get the best security for your home, you have to understand what you want to protect. Is it your house? Is it your family? Is it your valuables? Or is it all three? Conducting security assessments can help identify vulnerabilities and provide insights into what type of security system you may need. An alarm system might be enough for you or you might need additional features such as security cameras and smoke detectors among others. Home security systems come in a variety of packages and you need to make sure you do not spend on what you don’t need or ignore what is actually essential to the security of your home. Whether you do it yourself or let one of our professionals at Cool Geekz do it for your, this step is the first in properly securing your home.
Choose the right company
Company selection is an essential consideration when choosing the right security system. Be careful who you select to keep your home safe.

Evaluate several options and consult professionals to help you do this. Be informed about the pricing and although Cool Geekz doesn’t lock their customers into a contract, some companies do, so familiarize yourself with your contract before signing it. Selecting a reputable company ensures you get the best security system and accompanying services at a fair cost
Avoid the scammers
Picture
Just like in any other industry, there are always those who are out to take advantage of homeowners. These are the unethical companies and scammers that will, in the end, leave you with pricy but low-quality alarm systems, or no home security system at all. Be highly cautious when dealing with door-to-door marketers. If someone shows up at your doorstep with an unbelievable offer, look away. If another employs high-pressure tactics and refuses to take ‘no’ for an answer, run. If you encounter others with scare tactics (such as false crime statistics), poor rating, or lacking proper company identification, sprint even faster and never look back. Avoid suspicious representatives like the plague and you will never fall victim to scammers

I like what you said about conducting security system checks. I need to get a locksmith to check out my doors. I think the locks need to be changed.
