Product Description

This IDC study analyzes data from two IDC studies – the 2008 U.S. Service Provider Competition Survey and the 2007 U.S. Bundled Services Survey – to highlight consumer interest in home security and monitoring services. IDC supplements survey data with research and comparison of emerging home security/monitoring vendors to show how these services can be leveraged to reduce customer churn.

“As traditional double-play and triple-play bundles lose their stickiness with consumers, cable and telecommunications providers must search for new strategies to reduce churn and attract more customers,” says Irene Berlinsky, research analyst, Multiplay Services. “The new generation of broadband-based, digital home security and monitoring systems can become a powerful player in the multiplay package and a cornerstone of the networked digital home.” This book may contain less than 24 pages of technical content.

Securing the Bundle: How Home Security and Monitoring Can Reduce Cable/Telco Churn

Burglary is one the rise. Almost three-fourths of all crime today is property crime, involving theft, burglary, and vandalism. And much of that is crime against homes and homeowners. Local authorities and police have their jobs cut out for them. Though they work hard to end crime in your area, it can’t really be stopped.

No matter what, burglars and vandals will find a way to succeed at their job: taking or destroying your possessions. When they’re not on someone else’s property, they’re looking for opportunities, studying home layouts and vulnerabilities, and noting family habits and schedules. In fact, statistics tell us that a U.S. home gets robbed every 15 seconds! And while some burglars and vandals do eventually get caught and arrested, most of them seem to disappear into the shadows.

You can take precautions to avoid becoming the next 15-second victim. A combination of common-sense security measures and equipment can protect your home and family from crime. Here are some ideas that may help you take a bite out of crime.

* Mark your Property

Everything of value that you own should be protected with a number or symbol that makes it easy to identify as yours. While marking property can’t prevent its theft, it can help you retrieve stolen property before it’s sold on the black market. Engravers, micro dots, laser and UV pens are great tools to use to mark your property. Most burglars do study their target victims, and knowing you mark your property may prevent burglary.

* Secure your House

It may sound funny, but many homeowners forget to lock doors and windows. An easy, simple solution to prevent burglary, make it a habit to secure your windows and doors before you leave the house. Make sure the exterior of the house is well-lit and free of obstructions and places for burglars and vandals to hide. Let people know when you’ll be gone for several days, and ask your neighbors to keep a sharp eye out for strangers on your property. These simple steps will go a long way to protect your property and prevent burglary and vandalism.

* Get a Burglar Alarm

A simple alarm that sounds when an unauthorized person tries to enter your house is a good first step in preventing burglary and vandalism. The piercing scream of an alarm is enough to discourage even the boldest burglar or vandal. Police report that burglar alarms prevent over half of all attempted home burglaries. A variety of alarms are available on the market, and prices start low.

* Install a Home Security System

A great tool to prevent burglary is the home security system. A burglar who knows you have a security system will likely skip your house next time he goes out for a quick break-in. If he isn’t aware of your system, the alarm will sound and hopefully frighten him away. Home security systems include burglar alarms, but they also have a number of other features to protect your life and property. They may incorporate fire alarms, carbon monoxide monitors, and “panic buttons” that allow you to sound an alert in case of an emergency. They can alert your local police or emergency service directly or go through a 24-hour security monitoring service.

More elaborate and expensive systems incorporate cameras and video monitoring equipment that allows to you keep round-the-clock watch on your family and home. A video monitoring system also allows you to record visual images, and this can be very effective in post-burglary law enforcement efforts. You have a record of the burglar or vandal that police can use to track them down and arrest them. You also have evidence that can be used in court to prosecute them.

Home security systems have made great leaps in technology over the past decade, and today you can even get systems that allow you to program and control other home functions. You can tie in your lights, heating system, home entertainment center, and kitchen appliances to not only make your live more convenient and save time but to make it appear that your house is occupied when your family is out of town.

Wireless technology has entered the home security market, and you can get wireless monitored home security systems that have all the benefits of older types AND the ease-of-installation and maintenance of wireless technology.

With a good home security system, you can go beyond simple protection measures and continuously monitor your yard, your garage, and the interior of your home. You can make permanent video records of attempted and successful break-ins. You can even turn your coffee pot on in the morning!

* Use a Professional Security Monitoring Service

Even if you have the top-of-the-line home security system with all of the bells and whistles, it won’t be any good at preventing burglary if you can’t monitor it 24 hours a day. Professional security companies like ADT or Brinks offer that service for a reasonable
monthly fee. They have professional monitors attending to your system all day, seven days a week, and they can alert law enforcement and emergency services when your system sounds the alert.

No matter what you decide to do to protect your home and family, you should be sure to cover these basic areas. Millions of U.S. homeowners have invested or plan to invest in security and surveillance systems. You should be one of them if you want to fight crime and prevent burglary.

You get the added bonus of peace of mind knowing your home and family are safe and secure from the crime rampant in our society today. No one can predict the future, but it’s certain that you will be a safer, saner homeowner if you take the time to learn all you can about home security. As an educated consumer, you can assess your home’s vulnerabilities and plan for a security system that will prevent burglaries and meet your security needs.

Are you thinking of investing in your security?  Good idea!  Possessions come and go, but life is priceless.  Your family’s peace of mind is also something that has far greater value than money.  Even if you try and buy a cheap form of protection, such as a barking dog, a strong lock or a firearm, you are not going to give your family peace of mind.  You might scare them even more so!  All they know now is that you are “fighting” back against the criminals who threaten you.  When you buy a home security system, you are assuring them that others are getting involved in this fight—namely emergency officials like policemen and firefighters.  Which brings us to number one…

1. Live Monitoring Service : A live monitoring service ensures that your home is protected 24 hours a day and seven days a week, with no days off.  Monitoring representatives are immediately notified when a sensor goes off or when a homeowner is summoning them.  The agent then makes a call to your residence asking for a pass code.  As soon as he/she figures out something is wrong, police officials are summoned to the scene of the crime.  You can also request fire/medical/police personnel directly using a keypad device.

2. Automatic Sensors: Automatic smart sensors can detect almost anything, not only the movements of intruders.  For example, automatic sensors can detect fire, smoke, carbon monoxide, freezing temperatures and flooding.  Furthermore, some home security systems can even detect AC failure, power outages and other threats that aren’t so easily categorized.  New smart sensors can also discern the difference between the movements of intruders and those of home pets.

3. Manual Panic Button: This is a feature that is often times underestimated, and yet one of great importance.  It’s relatively easy to secure a home.  However, sometimes you don’t realize there is a threat until you have already let the intruder inside.  What if the intruder is posing as an electrician or a salesman?  What if you let an acquaintance inside but he soon becomes hostile?  A remote manual panic button can be carried with you all over the house.  Now you have the power to summon authorities at the touch of a button and from anywhere on the premises.

4. Psychological Value: There is no doubt that peace of mind is important.  You want your family to feel safe at all times, and a home security system is the best way to do this, since it gets the entire community involved in your safety.  There is also something to be said for the warning label that you stick on your window.  This tells the criminal that the home is protected by a top-rated security system that is capable of sending him to jail in just a few minutes.  This will deter many crooks from even taking that first step.

If you are interested in a home security system, look up ADT, one of the leading providers of home security in the country.

It’s depressing to read the news these days.  There are all kinds of reports on family violence, random violence and home invasions.  Some blame the economic recession, while others blame the mentally ill, and still others the “sign of the times.”  Whatever the cause of all these problems is, one thing is for sure: you are at risk.  You may not think that you are susceptible to violent crime or home burglary, probably because you have been lulled into a state of calm.  After all, if you have never been attacked or robbed in the last five years, why would you suddenly fear such a crime?  However, taking a realistic look at the world today could cure you of this “romantic” notion—namely, that nothing bad ever happens to good people.

Usually all it takes is just one scary incident to motivate people towards better security measures.  Unwilling to pay for a home security service, they may decide to buy a guard dog or even buy a gun.  These measures, while seeming to be a good idea at first, usually lead to more problems than solutions.  After all, you have to take care of the guard dog and regularly buy food or pay for veterinary assistance.  With a gun in your house, you face an increased danger of self-harm.  Children could get a hold of a gun or you could even be robbed or attacked by a criminal hoping to grab hold of your weapon. 

All of these options tend to create more problems than they solve.  This is why it’s important to invest in something more practical: a home security system.  What does a home security system provide the homeowner who wants to avoid the worst case scenario?  The best feature of a new age home security system is the live monitoring service.  This puts you in direct contact with a home monitoring center, so that emergency help is just a click away.  You can order home monitoring and request to be called whenever an alarm is set off.  If you fail to answer and give the appropriate pass code then emergency officials are called to investigate.

Another option is that of the keypad system which puts you in direct contact with the monitoring service by landline (or wireless connection).  They can summon emergency personnel in the way of fire, police or ambulance at just the touch of a button.  Home security systems might also come with a manual panic button just in case something out of the ordinary happens and you feel that your life is in danger.  Other advantages include smart sensors that can detect the differences between pets and intruders and can also sense fire, smoke, carbon monoxide or flooding. 

Don’t try to ignore the problem, nor should you overreact by buying a deadly weapon.  The best defense is to equip yourself with the latest technology on the market and to get local emergency officials on your side.  For more information on these types of security systems contact well established home security companies such as ADT.

Crime rates are rising and people are losing their jobs due to recession. Before recession when burglary was occurring every twelve seconds, people started realizing that life would be safer with wireless burglar alarms.

The Alarmingly Increasing Rate of Burglary

The most alarming fact is that in the U.S. for every 10,000 people there are more than 750 burglaries. It is a fact that criminals break into people’s houses mostly during the daytime. Sixty percent of burglaries happen when people are at home.

How a Burglar Alarm Prevents Burglary

There are several good points about a wireless burglar alarm. Firstly, they are wireless which makes the installation easy and it takes hardly two minutes install such a system. Anyone with little knowledge can install this system. The chances of an electric fire are reduced due to lack of wires. A wireless burglar alarm system is good for rented apartments and houses.

Secondly, the alarms of today are very sensitive and work on technologies such as infrared which does not allow anything to go unmonitored.

Thirdly, as any motion is detected the alarm goes on and the sound scares off the burglar.

Fourthly, in the event where a burglar manages to cut the telephone lines, the authorities will still receive the signal as wireless systems have signals which are relayed to a monitoring center which is powered by a cellular network.

The Different Kinds of Alarms That You May Utilize

There are many different types of burglar alarms. Just by knowing your needs and installing the right kind of alarm you can live your life safely. A burglar alarm just gives you a peace of mind.
