I wonder if it is really necessary to get home security naperville services. I mean, I always thought this part of Illinois was very safe. Maybe I am naïve, but I just have this idea that people will not do the wrong things. No doubt, I am constantly disappointed when I watch the news or just hear stories from people at work about people breaking into houses, stealing things and that sort of thing. I mean maybe it is more necessary than I thought to get home security systems. I just want to think the best of people an the fact that I cannot kills me. I know it is probably better to be safe than sorry when it comes to keeping your house safe, but I just do not know if I can go that far to say I need a home monitoring system to keep me safe from people. I told my friend about the fact that I thought home security was unnecessary. She definitely disagreed since she had had her house broken into twice before she got a home security system.

 

As I write this, Hurricane Irene is barreling up the East Coast, and millions — including my family and me — are bracing for the worst.  Six years ago, I lost half my house to the tail end of Hurricane Dennis, and I do not live in a flood zone.  Weather patterns are changing drastically and rapidly; none of us, regardless of our geographic locations, are safe from their whims.  However, if we are proactive, the danger from natural and other disasters can be mitigated.

ADT, the company you’ve come to associate with the highest quality in home security systems, has gone beyond protecting your home and family against intruders. In home security searcy and elsewhere, you will find that ADT now offers even broader safeguards and greater peace of mind.  The company now provides two-way speak phones, with direct linkage from your home to their offices.  In the event of a dire emergency, you’ll have the ability to contact them directly so that they can coordinate the appropriate emergency response for you.

The set-up/installation cost and the monthly fees are so much more affordable than you may have imagined.  Think about it.  If a tree crashes through your roof in a storm, if fire breaks out, if a loved one takes a nasty spill, if your aging parents fall ill, if your carbon dioxide alarm screams out a warning, or if any other emergency occurs, ADT will be there for you, even if your home floods during a hurricane like Irene.

Approximately twenty-four hours now before Irene begins her wreckage in my area, most of us are tracking this monster storm. Many of us have HD TV.  But only those of us who have Direct TV have access to the widest number of weather channels dedicated to 24-hour coverage, as well as the clearest picture and the best sounds.  With more than 170 regular channels (sports, home improvement, cooking, heath, sit-coms, the news, films, and more), as well as options for sought-after premier channels, DirectTV delivers 285 choices for viewers: more than any other provider. 

The young woman stepped out of the shower and, in what she assumed to be the privacy of her own home, slipped into her terrycloth robe.  Hearing a sudden crash at the back of her house, she ran to the bedroom window, looked down into her yard, and saw, in the blink of an eye, two men in ski masks burst through her back door.  Her first instinct was to protect the baby: her four-month-old daughter, asleep in her crib.  The woman grabbed her cell phone, ran to the baby’s room, and locked the door.  With her heart pounding in her chest, she dialed 911.  Thankfully, the police arrived in time to apprehend the suspects before they could hurt — or worse — the woman and her child.   This is a true story; it happened to one of my in-laws.

The young mother still shudders to think what may have happened had she been in the shower a few minutes longer and had not been able to make that call.  Immediately after this terrifying incident, she and her husband contacted a professional service to install a home security system in their residence.  The family now has greater peace of mind.  It was an investment well worth making, actually less expensive than my in-laws had assumed it would be.

If you, too, prize the safety of your family and your belongings, contact reliable, ADT-authorized professionals: contact home security benton.  With a range of options for a network of security monitoring devices and immediate linkage to your local police department, you can rest a bit easier.

Now that my in-laws are more confident of their personal safety and the security of their home, they’re relaxing a little more.  One of the things that they’re enjoying is DirectTV.  With nearly 300 channels in all, and more than 160 of those in HD format, she enjoys her movies and concerts, he settles in with his sports and news programs, and their little girl, now 17 months old, loves her animated movies.

Don’t you just love happy endings?    ☺
