Security Systems

Protect your home or business with a burglar alarm system and / or video cameras. We install quality equipment manufactured by dsc (digital security controls) and securenet and have our own central station to monitor and respond to burglar alarms, fire alarms and other trouble conditions such as flood or low temperature alarms. In addition to a burglar alarm our iotega alarm panel manufactured by dsc can be used to view cameras, control thermostats, control lights and perform other home automation tasks to make your life easier. The entire system can be controlled by your smart phone, tablet or a computer.

We provide alarm monitoring services with no contracts. You buy and own the equipment and then pay for monitoring services by the month. You may cancel monitoring services at any time. Compare this to other alarm companies like adt where they own the equipment and make you sign up for a long term contract! If you cancel with adt or most other alarm companies the equipment they installed is useless. But if you buy dsc equipment from competent electrical services and are not happy with our security / home automation service you can call another company to monitor your equipment!!!

But we are confident you will be satisfied with our product and continue to use us month to month as your security service provider. Another great feature of this system is that is 100% wireless which means that if you move all the equipment can be easily relocated to your next home or business location.

Please contact our office at 614-726-5046 and we will be happy to assist you. We offer free in home estimates for our security systems.

DSC Iotega Burglar Alarm Systems

You may install your own components (DIY : Do It Yourself) or have us install them for you. Programming for an initial DIY installation is $25.00. Installation or troubleshooting assistance for DIY installations or maintenance is available by phone, text and email for $25.00 per half hour.

After the initial installation future programming changes that can be done remotely will be completed for a charge of $25.00.

If you need us to install the components for you our installation charge for a basic system (10 components or less) is $100.00 (this does not include travel time outside of our normal area of work or the installation of Z-Wave devices) . This includes programming and testing!!! If you buy a system with interactive or complete interactive monitoring we will also set up your smart phone, computer and / or tablet to allow you to arm / disarm your system remotely using the Smartlink+ App from SecureNet. For systems larger than 10 components or systems with Z-Wave components we can provide an installation estimate free of charge.

Service calls after the initial installation to maintain, repair or test existing equipment or install and program new equipment are $100.00 for the first hour and $60.00 for each additional hour (this does not include travel time outside of our normal area of work).

If we perform the installation we will warranty all work for 1 year after the installation. On DIY projects the equipment will be guaranteed from defects for one year as long as they were properly installed and not subjected to physical damage.

We can provide design assistance for you over the phone or in person to determine what parts you will need to build a security system that will work for you and within your budget. If your budget is tight you can always start with a basic system and add addtional components later. We provide free estimates to furnish a complete security system including the installation.

Design tips : Every system must have an Iotega control panel. This panel has an integrated keypad that can be used to arm / disarm the system. It contains the communicator that will contact the central station in the event of an alarm or if a trouble condition occurs. It also has a built in sounder that activates under an alarm condition. The alarm panel has a power adaptor that must be plugged into a standard 120 volt receptacle. Each protected premises should have a door contact switch for every exterior door that leads into the house / building. Motion detectors should be placed in common areas to detect movement inside of the house / building. If you have pets inside of the house it is important to use pet immune motion detectors instead of standard motion detectors. Additional components can be installed to increase the level of security such as window contacts, glass break detectors, and additional indoor or outdoor sirens.

The system is capable of controlling multiple partitions so if you have a garage or even a detached garage or building located away from the main house or building the remote area can be protected independently of the main area. This means you can alarm the garage or detached building while you're inside your home. If someone breaks into your garage or detached building while its partition is armed the system's siren will sound and the communicator will notify the central station to call the police.

Additional keypads (touchscreen or LCD with buttons) can be installed to arm / disarm the system from other areas of the house. The touchscreen keypad also displays other useful information such as the time and weather. Two button remote keys can be purchased to arm / disarm the system without having to enter a numerical code on a keypad. Panic buttons can also be purchased and placed in convenient locations in the house to instantly signal an alarm when pressed and call the police in the event of an emergency.

The system can also control home protection devices such as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, flood detectors and temperature detectors to increase the level of safety of your home and assets.

And if this doesn't sound great already this system can also control Z-Wave devices. This will enable you to communicate with devices like a smart thermostat, smart switches and smart receptacles and then control them by events, by a schedule or by your command using the Smartlink+ App from SecureNet.

Note : If your home / building is large and / or built of stone, brick or plaster with metal reinforcing members you may need to install one or more signal repeaters to increase the strength of the wireless signals. Wireless signals can normally travel up to a mile when wooden / drywall structures are used.
