"SafeStreets’ alarm system is fantastic. The motion sensors, door/window contacts, and cameras work flawlessly. The home automation features are a huge plus—I can control everything from my phone. Highly recommend SafeStreets to anyone looking for reliable security."
"Assured Storm Protection recently completed the installation at my Coral Springs home of ES impact windows and doors. Entire process from meeting with Sales through final inspection went very smoothly...on schedule. Very happy that I went with this company, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area looking to install hurricane protection."
"Last weekend had someone pry our side door open to our exterior garage and the ADT door sensor picked it up immediately. The alarm siren was loud and scared the person off. Someone from the response center called within 30 seconds. We’re fortunate that the security system did what it is supposed to. Feels like we made the right call going with an ADT security system."
"Guinn & Sons replaced all of our windows and doors with impact at my house. I am pretty picky so they took the time to explain the options and products to ensure I was happy. Very communicative from start to finish and we love how everything turned out. They kept everything clean during installation too. I’m a realtor in Miami and I refer all my clients to them, and everyone has been very happy! I highly recommend them."
"Kevin installed a barn door to replace a pocket door for my powder room. It turned out great. I think it really makes a statement when you walk in the front door!"
"They replaced the windows and 3 doors in my house with impact glass and made an enclosure with an accordion. Thanks to Salvatore's advice, we are now protected for the hurricane season. 100% recommended, super professional and responsible."
"Our family's home was in need of protection before hurricane season came around and after calling and meeting with a few companies, we were impressed by Sergio and his knowledge of the various types of hurricane protection. He explained the pros/cons for each and gave us a competitive and fair price. Equally, we were impressed with Calleja Shutter's workmanship and customer service. Sergio kept us informed all the way through the process and his manufacturing/installation estimate was on-point and the whole house was installed in a day. It then passed the county inspection with flying colors a couple days later. Great experience as well with Alexis the installer, he truly gave it his all in this installation and finished by nightfall. We easily recommend Calleja Shutters for anyone looking to secure there home or business with top-quality accordion shutter or hurricane windows. Thank you Sergio!"
"Angelo was great! He arrived early, was an absolute pro installing the new front door locks and handles and even fixed a few issues that had been there for years! Definitely will recommend Broward Property Maintenance as a great experience!!"
"Family Shutters owner Rene arrived at my home the next day after my initial contact to Family Shutters. Family Shutters made & installed a new accordion shutter to cover a glass block area at my house entrance in a timely manner. This new shutter secured me an A3 rating for my new Homeowners policy with AAA. I also hired Family Shutters to replace my old locks on all my accordion house shutters.Also they serviced my shutters to ensure I am ready for next hurricane season. Rene’s company workers completed my requests promptly in caring respectful manner."
It depends on the type of sensor your home security system uses. If it’s a motion detector, any moving thing could set it off, from a roaming pet to a wind-blown curtain. Contact sensors would be triggered by the window being opened or moved. Also, be aware that any sensors placed too close to your vents could trigger false alarms whenever your heat or air conditioning is running.
Security cameras do not need wiring if they are wireless, meaning they are battery-operated and can connect through Wi-Fi. You’ll need to change the batteries on a wireless camera and ensure you have a steady connection to Wi-Fi for video storage. If you have a wired security camera, you’ll need to plug it into an outlet or other power source and a DVR device.
The best window alarm sensor depends on the type of window you’re concerned about since different types of sensors will work best in different scenarios. Many homes are equipped with contact sensors, which trigger an alarm when a window is opened, and each part of the sensor breaks contact with the other. But there are other options, too, like a glass break sensor or motion sensor, which both work well for windows that are in low-traffic areas.
Professional home automation services can include automation for nearly anything in your home, so the possibilities are endless. Some of the more common things homeowners use automation for include the following:
Door and window sensors to detect opening, closing, and break-ins
Solar system automation to maximize energy savings
Automatic door locks
Garage door openers
Speaker systems
Lighting
Appliances
Smoke and CO detectors
Blinds and other window coverings
Lawn irrigation systems
Water monitoring
Homeowners insurance can be voided in several scenarios. That can include making too many claims in a short period of time, leaving a home vacant for an extended period of time, renting out a home or room illegally, using a home as a business illegally, and any kind of criminal activity connected to the home.
