Following are 10 reasons why every home should be equipped with a Wireless Home Surveillance System:

1. Systems are Wire-free

Wireless mesh communication networks and applications are the future of the alarm industry! Fleenor Security uses a secure cellular connection that notifies their locally owned UL central station in a matter of seconds. Not only does this ensure the safety of your home but it eliminates the fear of criminals cutting your phone line, which would render a traditional security system useless. On top of keeping your home safe and secure, wireless home video systems allow for a quick installation and gives you the option to move and/or add on to your surveillance system later!

2. Interactive Monitoring

Home surveillance systems give you a wide variety of options to help take your monitoring to the next level. This system will allow you to monitor multiple camera views to ensure the utmost safety and security of your home. Simply download Fleenor Security’s Total Connect app and view all camera angles from your smartphone no matter where you are!

3. Instant Alerts

Using the latest technology, Fleenor Security Systems keeps you and your family safe and secure. In addition, Fleenor gives you peace of mind while keeping you connected even when you’re away from home. Wherever you are, you will receive instant alerts when the monitor is triggered, keeping you in the know constantly. You even have the option to have a 10 second video clip sent to your email every time a sensor is triggered!

4. Crime Deterrent

Contrary to popular belief most burglars are actually quite intelligent and will spend days scouting out your property and developing a plan. One of the most effective ways to prevent a potential break-in is to not only have a sign indicating you have a monitored security system in place but to also have visible cameras placed in and around the home. A burglar’s intent is to break-in with as little effort and risk as possible. If you have a video surveillance system in place, odds are they will skip over your home and move on to an easier target.

5. Check in on the “Fur Babies”

Time away from your furry friends can cause stress not only for your pets but for you as well. Installing a camera system inside your home gives you the option to check in on them from a computer, tablet, or smartphone and view live stream footage. Whether you are away on vacation or just spending time at work, a video surveillance system can come in handy. It will bring you peace of mind and ensure the safety and needs of your pets are met.

6. The Safety of your Children

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could always keep an eye on your children? Keeping your kids safe is a parent’s number one priority but due to other responsibilities you can’t always be right there with them. Fortunately, installing a video surveillance system within your home can be the next best thing. Whether it is checking to see if your child got off the bus safely or monitoring your newborn from within their nursery, a camera within the home can be proven useful when ensuring the safety and security of your children.

7. Save Money on Home Insurance

Most major insurance companies will lower premiums if you protect your property against potential break-ins, fires, or water damage. In fact, on average installing monitored security devices in your home can reduce your homeowner’s insurance by up to 20 percent.

8. Keep Helpers in Check

Whether it is making sure your pets are feed while your out of town or keeping an eye on the babysitter, a video surveillance system can help bring you peace of mind and ensure your home and loved ones are well cared for. If you are a person who tends to worry, having a camera within your home will help ease your mind and allow you to enjoy your time away!

9. Automatically Alert Authorities

One of the greatest assets of a home surveillance system is the fact that you won’t have to worry about trying to get in touch with the authorities. A Fleenor Security system will immediately contact the appropriate authorities should the need arise.

10. Evidence for Authorities

Burglars very rarely leave evidence behind that could link them to their crime, leaving authorities with little information to go off of and all items stolen given up on. The traditional monitored burglar system will alert authorities but if they arrive after the burglar is gone, there is not much else that can be done. Installing a home video surveillance system will ensure that video footage is taken of the burglar and will be vital in making sure they are caught.

Juggling all of life’s responsibilities can be daunting. A video surveillance system installed by the professionals at Fleenor Security can help put you back in control and bring you peace of mind. Contact Fleenor Security for a free system evaluation today!

Whether it’s home safety, making sure you’re secure when you’re online or being even more cautious when you’re driving, it’s important to maintain certain standards that will help protect you. Following are some safety measures to consider:

Home Safety

• If you’re away from home, make sure it’s not obvious. Use home automation to enable lights at particular times (and change those times up), install outdoor lighting (on timers), and stop your newspaper service (so they aren’t left on the lawn all week), as well as your mail.
• Make sure you schedule deliveries when you know you will be home or have packages delivered to your work place.
• To help prevent would-be thieves from breaking in under the cover of bushes or trees, keep them trimmed away from windows and doors.
• Don’t hide keys in the normal places many people use, like under the mat, over the door or in a planter. Instead, think about using a deadbolt with a keypad, which would eliminate the need for extra key.

Online Safety

• Change your passwords and make sure you don’t use the same password for every account. NEVER use 1234 or ABCD – always use strong passwords that combine lowercase and uppercase letters with numbers and symbols.
• Before shopping or banking online, make sure that the website is SSL-encrypted…look for a small lock icon near the address bar and you’ll know it’s safe.
• Be careful about sharing any personal information on social media. In particular, never post about being out of town.
• Set privacy and security settings on websites to limit the sharing of your information.

Driving Safety

• NEVER drink and drive. If you have been drinking, turn your keys over to a friend or call a family member or friend to pick you up. You can also call a cab or Uber.
• Never text while behind the wheel. Put your phone in the back seat in your purse or jacket so you won’t be tempted.
• Whatever your destination, leave a few minutes early so you won’t need to rush.
• Don’t eat and drive or worry about finding the right station on the radio while the vehicle is in motion. Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
• Obey the speed limit. Did you realize that driving just 10 miles over the limit can increase your accident risk by 50 percent?

Taking these simple precautions can make you considerably safer and they can also reduce stress and worry too. And who doesn’t want less of that? Here’s to a safe and happy 2018 for all of you!

Here are the top reasons to add video to your security system.

• Installing video security could save money because insurance companies love it when you make your home/business safer. A video system will likely reduce your premium.

• Video Surveillance systems are simple to use and can be accessed by a remote app anytime.  Since our lives are often very busy, be sure to add the video system health check service from Fleenor so you do not have to worry about system maintenance.

• Obviously, when you install video equipment, you’re doing it to prevent and deter criminal activities. However, if wrongdoing does occur, the best thing about it is you have proof of everything that happened. Video can be irrefutable evidence of a crime and it’s a huge asset to have if you’re ever drawn into court over an incident.

• Having video in place gives you peace of mind when it comes to the safety of your family, pets and belongings should you be away. You can easily check up on the office, your kids, etc. by viewing the feed from your smartphone.

• Video enables you to hold your employees, whether at the office or at home, accountable. At home, you can check to make sure the babysitter is doing his/her job correctly and up to your standards, or if the housekeeper is indeed cleaning behind the refrigerator. At work, you can keep an eye on your employees’ comings and goings, etc.

• Video systems allow you to use your security company to communicate with police, fire, etc., so that no matter what happens inside your home or business that the proper authorities are immediately notified.

• You can use video security instead of other monitoring systems, such as baby or pet monitors.

As you can see there are numerous benefits to adding video to your security needs. Even if you already have a security system, if it doesn’t include a video aspect, you should consider it as it will produce the absolute safest environment for you and your family or your business and employees.
