The holidays are here. This is the time of year where we put a greater focus on spending time with our friends and family, which often involves some traveling.

Staying in touch with loved ones that live in a different city or state can be difficult. And even if you only get to do it once a year, a visit can go a long way.

Christmas and Thanksgiving are associated with the busiest travel days of the entire year. Holidays are often much better in the presence of our loved ones and we don’t let distance stop us from enjoying these special days.

Obviously, traveling means we have to leave our homes unguarded. Holiday break-ins are unfortunately common. Being absent from your home only tends to make this much more attractive to criminals.

So how can you keep your stuff safe while you’re gone? Residential security systems will watch your Nashville home while you enjoy time with your friends and family. And there’s no better time to get a system installed than right now.

Here’s what you can expect by installing a residential security system.

Cameras Provide Peace of Mind

Security cameras are one of the most well-known aspects of residential security systems. They are a reliable means of watching over your home while also providing usable evidence in the event a break-in occurs.

And those with remote access to their security cameras are afforded even more peace of mind. An absence of alerts and alarms is one thing, but actually looking into your home and seeing it undisturbed is an irrefutable great way to verify the state of your home while you’re away.

And this ability is offered day and night with the night vision technology included in Arlo security cameras.

Security Monitoring Watches When You Can’t

You might be asking, what’s the point of getting a security alert when you are hours away from home? You won’t be able to hurry over there and scare away the intruder, after all.

Security monitoring is a way to get an immediate response to alerts from residential security systems. 

Your system will be tailored to your home to include essential alerts such as smoke alarms, glass break detectors, door and window contacts, and much more. 

A triggering of any of these alarms will send a signal to a 24/7 call center that will verify the veracity of the alarm, and then send out the proper authorities.

Wireless Security Reduces Vulnerabilities

New technology offers a variety of potential benefits to residential security systems. One of which is that they no longer need to be hard-wired. Previous systems were much more susceptible to tampering by simply cutting certain wires.

Wireless systems don’t have this problem. They are independently-powered and can be connected directly to your mobile phone so you have access to information in the palm of your hand.

These systems not only give you the information you need while you are out of town, they are also much easier to install on the front end.

Prevent Break-Ins Before they Happen

Avoiding an incident in the first place is always the most preferable option. And the fact is, criminals are on the lookout for residential security systems in Nashville. Working with a professional security company like NCA means you get the best technology for your home as well as a sign to put in your front yard.

These signs let people know that you have the power of NCA guarding your house even when you’re away. And while we can’t guarantee this will convince a criminal to keep moving down the road, it will give them at the very least a moment’s hesitation.

Fires Happen Even When You’re Gone

Accidents are just as liable to happen when you’re gone as when you’re home. Electrical mishaps can occur out of nowhere and if you’re not there to call the authorities, you will lose important minutes in their response time.

Connecting a smoke and fire detector to a security monitoring system provides the essential service of contacting the fire department while you’re away. Coming home from a relaxing holiday vacation to fire damage is not the present you were hoping to get this year.

Professional Installation Gets It Right the First Time

Residential security systems provide irreplaceable services for you and your family. These systems need to be operating flawlessly in order to provide these services at a reliable level. A professional installation is the only way to ensure you get everything you need, and that it’s installed correctly.
