You want more than a security system. . .
you want a
total solution that helps your family feel safe. At Vector, your peace
of mind is our first priority. Our security consultants help work with you
to design a system that provides unrestricted use of your home, yet a high
degree of protection. Because no two homeowners share the same exact
needs, we help you understand the products and services that will meet
your needs, and then recommend a level of protection to accommodate both
your concerns AND your budget.
"What we won't do is try to sell you a pre-designed,
'cookie-cutter' package. Instead, Vector Security designs and installs
a system that addresses your concerns as a homeowner and meets your
budget."
Before your system is designed, we help you take the following steps:
- Determine your true goals: Property Protection? Personal Protection?
Will you use the system at all times, or mostly when you are away?
- Perform a complete external review of your property. Determine where
your home may be vulnerable. Think like a burglar, where would you attack?
- Walk through the interior of your home. Identify key areas where
valuables are located. What may be done to make those areas less
noticeable and more protected.
Once you have this information, Vector will create an easy-to-use,
affordable, versatile and reliable system, backed by Vector's
state-of-the-art monitoring capabilities.
PERIMETER PROTECTION
Located near doors, windows and other selected areas of your home,
perimeter protection devices comprise your first level of defense.
Typically, these products are designed to react to any attempted forced
entry into your home.
The proper device to install depends on factors such as your home's
construction, your lifestyle, the product's limitations and price. Some of
the most popular devices include:
- Door Contacts - Magnetic contacts that can be attached to or
recessed within the door frame to detect movement.
- Window Contacts - Like door contacts, these are magnetic
devices that detect windows being opened.
- Vibration Sensors - Mounted on the window frame, these devices
react to vibrations that are created if someone attempts to break or they
shatter the window.
- Audio Discriminators - Frequently, several window openings can
be protected by installing a device that will sense glass breaking. These
devices are typically located near the openings they are intended to
supervise.
- Window Screens - Standard window screens can be laced to
provide protection in the event they are cut or removed. Although this
type of protection is expensive, it provides the added convenience of
allowing windows to be open and the security system to remain intact when
armed.
- Motion Detectors - These devices detect movement within
specified areas. They can be used to automatically illuminate an area or
to emit an audible alarm.
INTERIOR PROTECTION
If you intend to use your system primarily when you are away from home,
interior protection is an economical way to get high levels of protection.
Of course, pets and environmental influences must be considered to prevent
false alarms. Vector recommends and installs only the highest quality
interior protection devices.
- Motion Detectors - These devices are designed to detect
movement within a
specified area by detecting moving body heat or changes in patterns of
reflected energy, or for the greatest stability, a combination of the two.
- Interior Doors - Homes designed with interior doors that can be
closed may be protected by installing magnetic door contacts. When pets
are present, this is likely to be the best option for interior detection.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
- Keychain touchpads - Convenient, powerful two-way remote
controls let you activate/deactivate your system with the touch of a
button. As you approach your driveway, you can confirm the status of your
system, disarm the alarm, activate lights, and enter - it's that simple!
- Personal emergency pendants - An ideal feature for loved ones
that may need immediate assistance in the house or around the yard. A
simple, easy to use lightweight panic button worn on a belt clip or as a
necklace can summon help with the touch of a button.
- Monitored smoke, gas, furnace, pipe and environmental sensors -
When it comes to your safety, a monitored system is the best protection
for your family. Vector's state-of-the-art smoke and fire detectors help
you protect your home and family, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
Monitored carbon monoxide detectors can provide an added level of
protection that normal smoke detectors cannot. Specialized water and
furnace detectors can be used to provide constant reassurance that your
home's environmental systems are working as they were designed to do.
Combine any or all of these systems with Vector's 24-hour monitoring, and
you have peace of mind on just about every imaginable level of your home
life.
