Finding the right home security company that fits your needs and budget, calling and getting a quote, and then scheduling for them to install a home surveillance system may seem like a very expensive and time-consuming task to take on. However, the benefits of a security system far outweigh the cost, and can save you time, money, and worry in the long run.

Here are some reasons why Humble residents should make the leap and get a home surveillance system installed.

Property Protection

In the city of Humble, there are at least 118 property crimes committed per 1,000 residents. By installing a surveillance system in your home, you can keep an eye on your home 24/7 with real time cameras that broadcast a feed from your house. The instant you see strange activity, you can call the police and have them drive out to your home to take care of the problem.

If you are not able to check in remotely, the security system is still a handy way of capturing the faces of the perpetrators and that will make it easier for the police to capture them. For this reason, surveillance cameras in Humble are certainly worth the cost.

Keep an Eye on Your Children or Elderly Relatives

A surveillance system will help you watch over your children or any elderly relatives who might be living with you.

If you need to hire a babysitter, the surveillance system will come in handy to make sure that all is going well and that the babysitter and children are not breaking any house rules. If you have an elderly relative staying with you, you can use the surveillance system to keep an eye on them at work. If anything happens to them, then you will be able to immediately call any emergency service and have them sent over to your home.

Video Recordings Provide Evidence

In the case that your home is burglarized, the video recordings captured by your home surveillance system is the best evidence you can have when reporting the crime to police or when appearing in court. Having a video recording on hand can save a lot of time and money since the legal process will not take as long because of the video evidence.

Save Money on Insurance Costs

Insurance companies are more likely to decrease homeowners’ insurance premiums if you take the steps to make your home safer. Premiums are usually priced based on the probability of a certain event occurring. A premium will be higher if the probability of an event occurring is high and it will be lower if the probability is low. An insurance company will define safer as “anything that reduces the risk of damage being done to your home.” Adding a surveillance system shows insurance companies that you are actively making your home safer which will end up in lowering your premiums.

Hold People Accountable

Living in Humble, chances are you employ people to help in the upkeep your home or to do any sort of work on your property. Using a home surveillance system will help you in keeping your household staff accountable. The system may essentially act as a spy camera. You can use the surveillance system to make sure that they are doing the job that they agreed to do and that their work is of the highest quality.

All in One System

On the home surveillance market, there are a lot of separate systems that you can buy. There is a system to watch over your baby, a system to watch over what goes on outside your home, and a system to watch your front door. Lightspeed will install a system that will do all the work that multiple systems do, for the cost of one system. You save money and you save the hassle of having to deal with more than one system.

A security system is a big investment. However, for the peace of mind you get and the feeling of safety, it is well worth it. There is no price tag on the feeling of peace you will get from a home surveillance system.
