In Melbourne We Don’t Need Home Security

“We Don’t Need Home Security in Melbourne, Florida!”

I can’t tell you how many friends and family say to me, “ In Melbourne we don’t need home security ”. As a former martial arts instructor I remember when in conversation martial arts would come up and typically I would hear, “ I don’t need a black belt, I’ve got s gun! ” My standard reply would be, “ Do you have it on you? ”, The usual answer was no. This of course got them thinking, and rightfully so. The truth is home security , martial arts and insurance all have something in common. If you knew the future, you would know where trouble was and steer clear of it. You would not need home security, insurance or martial arts.

Once a person realizes that they cannot predict the future with 100 % success, they realize they must have fail safes in place for that WHAT IF SCENERIO . To me the term home security covers a broad range of protection. Anything from locks , to flood lights to the 9 iron you keep next to the front door. Home alarms have come a long way and are required in many states for second homes by insurance companies. Home security systems enabled with z-wave technology save their owners money on energy . When integrated with Total Connect , the home owner can arm and disarm their system with their smart devices. You see if the system is armed or disarmed and even check that the garage door is closed. You can also verify what’s going on inside the home using the video feature. So even if home security isn’t on your list of must haves, these other amenities certainly make it a desirable option.
