Home Security In Charleston: 3 Reasons Why You’re Doing It Wrong

We love keeping Lowcountry homeowners safe. From Summerville to Daniel Island to Mt. Pleasant to Kiawah Island, home security is our priority and it’s one thing that many people too often overlook when they have a home in Charleston.

If you’re wondering if your home security in Charleston is up to par, see if you fit into one of the 3 categories of South Carolina homeowners below.

1. You Don’t Have A Security System Yet.

Well this may surprise many people, but several homes in Charleston don’t even have a home security system. Are you one of these homeowners? If so, you’re roughly 2 to 3 times more likely to be hit by a burglar. That’s a significant gamble with your property and family’s protection.

2. You Don’t Have Security Cameras Installed Yet.

According to our home security camera system clients, having a camera system installed in their homes (and businesses) significantly reduces their stress about leaving their house unattended. Not only this, homeowners love the fact that they can check in on their children, pets and property anytime and anywhere they have a connection to the internet.

3. You Haven’t Upgraded To Total Connect Yet.

Want a remote control for your house? You should; it’ll save you money. Total Connect 2.0 monitoring allows you to control not just your security alarm system and video surveillance system, but also your lights and thermostats. You can adjust temperature settings from anywhere and you’ll never have to worry about leaving a light on in your home again. You’ll be able to schedule when your lights need to be on and when they need to be off — just set it and forget it.
Home automation at its best.

If you’ve got all of the above home security layers integrated into your house, good news: you’re doing it right.

If not: you’re doing it wrong. Give us a call and make sure you’re doing it right.
