House security systems

Do you have one? We don't but my husband considers getting an Ajax systems set to get the house fully secured while I am not sure if we really need this. I mean, I am staying at home with kids so what could happen? We already have a fire alarm of course and all the other features of a security system like cameras, flood alarm, all the sensors, etc., it's not that cheap and if we invest in a decent security system I want to be sure that it brings significant benefits.

We don't have but we are looking at the options right now. We aren't living in the best neighbourhood so I really want to increase the security level of out house and a security system seems to be a must at this point.

We don't use any security system. Only water leak and fire detectors. I think it's just enough since we spend most of our time at home.

So, you've mentioned you already have all the products for house security. Why does your husband want to install another one? Ajax is very qualitative and progressive. Maybe this is the reason he wants to do it. Unfortunately, they do not produce their brand cameras, but they will connect yours to the system. Also, how do you control all your devices? Ajax company has a phone app, so it saves time to check the situation when you are out. So, I recommend you to read about them more carefully, choose the devices you would like to have in your house and call them for a consultation.

We have one from the alarming company and it gives me peace of mind. You can alarm your house when you are sleeping, when you go away and when you go out and it’s easy to do it with the fab and they also monitor it and we also have the ring doorbell to monitor who is coming at our house

Yes we do we have an alarm with both inside and outside Alarm boxes
And we have 3 cctv cameras recently installed
That cost almost 1k but they are top quality like watching the a tv programme we can also access the App 24-7 and we have a lifetime service and 10 year warranty

Between myself, my neighbour and our opposite neighbour we have enough cameras to cover our entire street 😂 all done by the same company
The local police officer said he wished all streets were like ours as it would make his job 100 percent easier 😂

Hi there! I friendly recommend you to listen to your husband. I think there is any reason he wants to install that. Any security system will be helpful even if you spend all day at home. I agree with the opinion, that Ajax systems really worth it, they are progressive and unique. I read about the new batteries they have developed. Those things work for more than 5 years, so you do not have to care about changing them. Also, all their devices are wireless and they do not require a wi-fi connection because the system has a special sim card. I suppose we'll have a lot of home robots soon, and everything will be controlled through the app. And it is great that some companies already produce such modern products and technologies.

I am using only several cameras and I want to say that it is enough for me
