Home Security Systems for Alabama Residents
When it comes to choosing a security system, the number of choices on the market can be overwhelming.
Knowing the basics can help you decide what you need for your home. A comprehensive security system will include the following components:
Security sensors
Door and window sensors are placed strategically on doors and windows, usually on the first floor, and sound an alarm whenever someone opens a door or window while your alarm is set. And since approximately 80% of intruders enter a home through the doors or first story windows, door and window sensors are a must.
Motion sensors are designed to detect motion in a home. In the event an intruder gets into your home through a second-story window or through an entrance without a sensor, motion sensors will capture movement and sound the alarm.
Glass break detectors add an extra layer of protection to your home. Some home security systems only trigger an alarm when a door or window is opened. Glass break sensors are triggered by the sound or vibration from breaking glass.
Window sensors help protect the entry points throughout your home.
Safety alarms
Smoke alarms are not only life-saving devices, but they’re also required by law; in Alabama, smoke alarms are required in every bedroom and on every level.
Carbon monoxide alarms are another type of safety alarm that can save lives. Because carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, a carbon monoxide detector in your home can alert you to the presence of this deadly gas.
Water sensors are small sensors placed in locations around the home that are prone to flooding, such as water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. These alarms alert you to the presence of moisture in areas you may have otherwise overlooked so you can act quickly.
Emergency pendants provide a direct link to your security system’s monitoring center. Worn around the neck or wrist, these small devices have a button that lets the wearer get help in an emergency with the push of a button. This device is important for the elderly, disabled, or anyone with mobility issues.
24/7 monitoring
Your home security system should also have alarm monitoring services. A professionally monitored system includes round the clock monitoring. In the event an alarm in your house goes off, the monitoring center is notified. They will then contact you. If there is an emergency in the home, or if they are unable to contact you to verify, they will contact emergency services in your area.

Home Automation Any Alabamian Can Use
A smart home lets you automate or remotely control many of the different functions around your house, such as lighting, heating and cooling, and security. With home automation, you can access and control the different systems and devices in your home through an app, making it easy to turn off lights, adjust the temperature, or check camera feeds from a single app.
Some of the various smart home devices you may want to integrate into your home include:
Smart thermostats that learn your temperature preferences, then automatically adjust them to help you save energy and money without sacrificing comfort
Smart locks that eliminate the need for physical keys, allowing you to lock and unlock your door with a unique code or your app.
Garage door control that helps keep your home secure by alerting you when your garage door is open, then allowing you to close it from your app.
Smart lighting that can be automated or controlled from your phone, allowing you to lights on and off whether you’re in another room or another state.
Hands-free control through smart speakers like Google Home and Amazon Alexa that let you control different smart devices around your home with a voice command.
Cameras that give you a clear look at what’s going on both inside and outside of your home. With a smart home, you can also access camera footage live or via playback right from your phone. Security cameras you should consider for your home include:
Outdoor cameras that keep an eye on your property and outbuildings
Doorbell cameras that let you answer your door remotely from your phone
Indoor cameras that help you keep an eye on kids, pets, or specific areas of your home.
Smart control that lets you control your home via a single app or panel within your home, like the Vivint App and Smart Hub. This eliminates the need for multiple apps for each smart device in your home.
With a smart home security system in Alabama, you have a safer, smarter home you can access no matter where you go.
