As your local leader in Security Solutions SECUR-U wants to keep you informed regarding important security issues in our community.

The Halton Regional Police is reporting an increase of Overnight Residential Break and Enters; they have recently reported the following:

June 8, 2010 From: Councillor Allan Elgar Ward 4

Residents being warned to close and lock their garage doors!!!!

There have been several incidents of culprits entering unlocked homes and garages during the overnight hours and removing valuables. Cameras, laptop computers, GPS systems and purses are being stolen from unlocked vehicles inside the garage. All residents are being warned to take the following precautions to prevent being the victim of this type of crime.

* Close and lock all garage doors, ground floor doors and windows before going to bed at night

* Do not leave spare keys to the house in your vehicle

* Keep your vehicles locked at all times

* If you have a garage, park your cars in the garage

* If your home has an alarm, activate the alarm system before going to bed

* If you are away on vacation, have a family member or friend check on your home regularly

These are crimes of opportunity, remove the opportunity, and you may remove the crime.

Home security alarms are devices that will be installed to prevent theft, burglary, and break-ins and also to avert any possible damage due to fire or harmful gases. These alarms are triggered whenever they sense any of these conditions in your home.

 

 

In recent years home security alarm systems have proved to be one of the most effective ways to protect your house and loved ones. Wired security alarms, wireless security alarms and hybrid security alarms are the three basic types of home security systems. For homes with a dry walled finished basement ceiling which limits the accessibility to run cable, a wireless home security alarm would be the best solution. Wireless home security alarms allow our clients to install wireless window/door transmitters that will protect the perimeter of the home and wireless motion detection to cover the interior without the need to remove millwork to prevent the possibility of damage occurring. SECUR-U sells wireless security packages that can be tailored to protect your needs.

To understand the basic operation of our system and how wireless works is very similar to how a cordless phone operates. With security in mind, the wireless window/door transmitter communicates to a receiving unit located inside your home that is programmed to identify the serial number of the protection device which we refer to as a zone. Other wireless devices located in or around your property may communicate with a different wireless frequency that will not compromise your security or create false alarm conditions. Each wireless device has a battery and the control panel monitors the battery condition to ensure effective operation. Once a low battery is detected you will be notified with a trouble condition on your keypad prior to failure.

Wireless home security alarms are preferred by many home owners for one reason. If you decide to move to a new home, these security alarms can be easily removed and re-installed into your new property. For added safety and security additional features like video surveillance, intercom systems and medical systems can be incorporated into your home. Wireless home security alarms have become imperative to protect your house from intruders and other threats like fire and flood.

If you are looking for a reliable supplier of wireless home security alarms in Milton, Oakville, Burlington, Mississauga, Georgetown, Acton and Halton Hills, please visit www.securu.com or contact us via phone or email. SECUR-U has been providing highly efficient commercial and residential security alarms, intercom systems, video surveillance and alarm monitoring for over 15 years.

All Homeowners are Susceptible to Break-ins

Over the past week 2 local clients have been victims of a home break in. Unfortunately neither had an alarm system installed prior to the event but now see the importance of securing their homes and protecting their families.

These 2 occurances happened in 2 completely different locations; one in the Thompson and McCuaig area (a subdivision) and one in the Campbellville area (a country home). The similarity however between the two events was that both invasions took place during the day. Statistics show that most break-in's occur between the hours of 2pm and 4pm and these 2 events followed suit. At SECUR-U we encourage our existing and potential clients to be proactive instead of reactive. Theives will be detered by the presence of a security alarm so both of these occurances could possibly have been avoided. If you have an existing alarm system that you would like to ensure is functioning properly or if you would like information on having one installed in your home/business please contact us.

The change of season usually signals the need for a tune up on your car but when was the last time you had your security alarm tested and tuned up? In one of my earlier blog posts I touched on the fact that winter can lead to window/door contacts requiring an adjustment to operate properly; the same is true once the cold weather is behind us and warmer temperatures are on the rise. Ensure that when your doors are in the closed/locked position and you push or pull on them the contact remains closed. If you hear your chime being activated you will know that an adjustment is needed to ensure false alarms do not occur.

It is also a good idea to review your call list and be sure that all contact names and phone numbers are current. In the event of an alarm, the monitoring station will call based on the contact list they have on file so to ensure they reach the proper individuals in a timely manner it is important to have up-to-date information on file.

Our technicians can be scheduled to attend your site and do a thorough test on your home or business security alarm system. This will ensure that the central station is receiving all signals from your panel and you can rest assured that your alarm operating properly. If there is a problem they will be able to identify and rectify the issue for you.

To book your service call with a SECUR-U technician or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

As seen in the March 9 2010 edition of the Milton Champion a very useful video is now available on the internet.

It was released by the Office of the Fire Marshal and encourages families to have a fire escape plan in place. Titled "No Time To Spare", it touches on the extreme importance of maintaining working smoke detectors and installing residential sprinklers. To view this video goto www.milton.ca/fire/prevention.htm.

Another way to further protect your family and home from fire is by integrating smoke detectors into your security alarm system. Whether hardwired or wireless, both options are available and will alert the monitoring station in the event of a fire. When this signal is received the central station will dispatch the fire department immediately. Especially during the night or when no one is home, this would drastically reduce the chances of serious harm being done to your family or home.

For more information on adding smoke detectors to your alarm system or to schedule an installation please contact SECUR-U Inc. We are happy to help you increase the safety of your family.

An exciting new product available at SECUR-U - The ALEXOR 2-Way Wireless Suite

Alexor is the centre component of DSC’s 2-Way Wireless Security Suite. It operates as a completely wireless control panel and communicates wirelessly to the other DSC wireless security devices.

Because it is a distributed system, the panel is not attached to the keypad physically, but rather wirelessly. Designed for flexible, secure installation locations within the home, as long as there is access to AC power, Alexor operates via up to four wire-free keypads. DSC’s 2-Way Wireless Security Suite offers wireless and continuously supervised communication between devices. The signals between the 2-way wireless devices and the Alexor Panel are fully encrypted, prohibiting unauthorized interruption of communication between them. If the security system changes its armed state or any of the 2-way devices are tampered with, Alexor will immediately be signaled and the appropriate transmission will be instantly be transmitted to the monitoring station. Alexor offers all the reliability of traditional wired/hybrid control panels but with all the convenience that wireless delivers.

For more information or to schedule your installation, please contact us.

Security System Installation Question?

Potential SECUR-U Security System Client Question:

Hello, I recently moved to Hamilton and am interested in an alarm system. You came highly recommend by our State Farm and Mortgage Architects in Milton. I am looking to cover at least 6 windows and 2 doors and possible video surveillance. However my only concern is after living here for a couple months we have realized that the area is not the greatest and are not looking to stay for very long most likely a year, maximum two years. Do you have any monthly programs for those lengths of times?

How much would I be looking at spending with this reduced amount of time on a contract? We will be keeping it as a rental unit however so there is a possibility of future tenants wanting to continue with the service, would that be possible? Thank you, Michelle

Supporting Independent Living...in your own home!

Freedom made possible with a personal emergency reporting system from SECUR-U Inc.

In the presence of fire or smoke, optional smoke detectors will initiate an automatic fire alarm call to the Emergency Monitoring Center. Warning tones will be sounded by the console and the smoke detector to alert you, even if you are sleeping.

For more information on this product, please contact us.

Check out what's new in the SECUR-U product line-up!

The NEW Alexor 2-way wireless alarm system is designed for flexible, secure installation locations within the home. It is a completely wire-free system which can operate with up to 4 wire-free keypads.

This product offers all the reliability of traditional wired control panels but with convenience that wireless delivers. The Alexor security system can be armed/disarmed in one motion with the Prox Tag. This additional component is simply swiped across the front of the keypad and either activates or deactivates your system without any security codes.

Another useful tool is the 2-way wireless key fob. You are able to arm/disarm the system easily as you approach your home or call for help via the panic button. The indicator screen also alerts you if the residence is in alarm or has recently been in alarm before entering your home.

For more information on this product and others offered by SECUR-U please contact us.

Reduce False Alarms at no added cost by simply adding two signal dispatch to your home or business alarm system. Most importantly your existing security system must be tailored so that you have sufficient coverage to implement this service. Here is how it works; by activating two signal dispatch on your alarm monitoring with SECUR-U the operators at the central station will immediately notify the premise and key holders only upon receiving one independent zone signal (ex: one door or one window or one motion detector or one glass break detector) but will not notify and dispatch the police. When any two zones are received (door + motion, motion 1 + motion 2, glass break + motion, etc...) the operator at the central station will dispatch police, call the premise and contact the key holders on your security alarm account. Contact SECUR-U for further details by clicking this link: http://www.securu.com/contact-security-company.aspx We look forward to tailoring the right solution for your security needs because at SECUR-U we are "Working Together for a Safer Community"

At SECUR-U our job is to ensure that your security system is functioning properly at all times. There are times when environment changes can affect this and components on your alarm system may require a small adjustment.

The winter months bring cold temperatures causing windows and doors to contract. Because of this, the transmitter on your door that signals to your panel when the contact is opened or closed can appear open even when it is not and cause a false alarm. A good way to test this is to enable the chime feature on your keypad, lock your door and then push and pull on it. If your chime doesn’t sound then your transmitter is positioned correctly. If you do hear a chime it means your door transmitter needs to be adjusted to ensure proper function throughout the cold weather.

For more information or to book a service call with one of our technicians, please contact us.

With Daylight Savings having just past it’s important that you update the date/time on your system.

 

You can easily do so by completing the following steps on your DSC alarm. press * 6 and enter the 4 digit master code, one long beep indicates an error,  press # and enter the master code again. After you hear 4 short beeps press 1 for date/time and then 10 digits, 2 each for the hour, minute, month, day, and year. You must use a 24 hr clock and only need to enter the last 2 digits of the year. This information can also be found on our website click here for the link

As with your vehicle it is always a good idea to service your system periodically. Secur-U can schedule a service call to your home or business and replace your battery, update codes and test that your alarm system is communicating properly with the monitoring station. This is all done for a minimal fee, takes only an hour of your time, and will ensure that you are receiving the protection you want.  click here for our contact information.

Monitored Alarm vs Non-Monitored Alarm

We have had numerous requests for non-monitored alarms.   This type of product is available and SECUR-U can certainly supply this option to our customers.   

SECUR-U can offer both monitored and non-monitored options to assist our clients in making an educated decision.   When purchasing a non-monitored security system for residential applications we have identified that the monitored option is most commonly selected due to its upfront affordability. In addition to affordability; customers receive a full turn-key solution providing installation and the monitoring service. At Secur-U we always encourage the monitored system for the highest level of protection. As similar to purchasing a car, you would never buy a new car without the engine.

As with a cell phone, you have the option of purchasing the phone upfront for the full retail value or you can agree to a service plan and the material is free or at a much lower cost. This is the case with a non-monitored system. You will be buying all of the hardware upfront therefore your initial cost will be substantially increased.

Awareness is critical. The purpose of having a security system is to feel safe and protected. Everyone reacts differently in times of panic; therefore if someone is breaking into your home, other than the alarm sounding which will hopefully deter intruders, you want to be ensured that the appropriate services are dispatched to your aid. Again, SECUR-U will assist you with options so that you can make the right choice for your comfort level.

Will my pet set off my Alarm System?

Pets are safe from false alarms with SECUR-U in Milton, Oakville, Burlington, Georgetown 

You can have pets with our SECUR-U security alarms, our DSC wireless motion detector (model #WS4904PW) and hardwired motion detector (model # BV-300DP) feature pet immunity up to 60 lbs which is a combined weight of all animals.

 

Being an animal lover myself, our family includes a sturdy chocolate Lab that weights more than 60 lbs and I have installed many motion detectors protecting the interior of our home, but saying that because of the size of our four legged friend we must remember to arm our security system in the stay mode whenever our dog is home to bypass the motion detectors in our residential security alarm or a false alarm will occur.   We chose to install the motion detectors so that we would have added protection to our house when our dog or family members are not there.

 

 

Specifications from the DSC manufacturer:

 

The Digital Bravo3P PIR detector is specifically designed to provide optimum catch performance

and enhanced false alarm prevention in environments containing pets. It utilizes digital technology, a microprocessor, Multi Level Signal Processing (MLSP)*, dual operating parameters, automatic temperature compensation and a unique pet rejection lens to provide effective and reliable detection of human motion and good protection against nuisance alarm associated with pets weighing up to 60lbs (27.3kg).

The detector also provides excellent immunity to such false alarm producing influences as RF, static and electrical transient. This technology, plus exceptional design care and careful factory testing, ensure years of trouble free performance.

 

Where should I locate the motion detector for best coverage?

 

Select a detector location that will provide the coverage required and will allow the detector to be mounted a minimum of 6.5ft high and not higher than 10ft (7.5ft recommended). Consider the following to avoid false alarms:

• Do not aim the detector at a stairway which a pet has access to. Do not place furniture or objects higher than 3 ft, which a pet can climb onto (e.g. a cat on a couch), closer than 6 ft to the detector.

• Mount the detector flat on a wall or in a corner. Do not angle it downwards or use mounting brackets with this detector.

• Do not aim the detector at reflective surfaces such as mirrors or windows as this may distort the coverage pattern or reflect sunlight directly onto the detector.

• Avoid locations that are subject to direct high air flow such as near an air duct outlet.

• Do not locate the detector near sources of moisture such as steam or oil.

• Do not locate the detector in the path of direct or reflected (mirror) sunlight.

• Do not limit the coverage by having large obstructions in the detection area, such as plants or cabinets.

What is the best security system?

 

I hear this question over and over again, so here is a little explanation.  In my opinion the best security system is a product like DSC that will handle the majority of end user requirements with ease of use.    The first question I ask my prospective residential clients is how do you plan on using your system? Are you're looking to arm your system while you’re at home, work or a combination of both?  If you are looking for greater security while your home then consider protecting all opening perimeter windows and doors as when you are home the motions are bypassed in the stay mode and will add no enhanced protection to you.  If you are looking for protection while you are at work, consider protecting all the perimeter doors then add one or more motion detectors to cover the interior if an intruder was to enter through a broken window and travel throughout your home.

 

The keypad that gets installed with our security alarms is really simple.  When arming you have three options, simply press the button with the empty house to arm in the “away” mode, press the button with the person in the house for the “stay” mode or simply enter your code.  Our SECUR-U security system is smart, after entering the code if the system does not detect a door opening during the delay period it knows that you haven’t left and it will bypass the motion detectors for you so that you can walk around without tripping the alarm.   If you open the door during the exit delay the system knows you left the property and will turn on the motions for added security.

 

To disarm your system enter your four digit code, once the red armed indicator goes out the system is effectively disarmed.

 

Want to make your security alarms easier?  Consider purchasing a remote control, then with the simple push of a button while pulling out of the driveway you can arm your system.  We sell a significant amount of remotes because your system must be easy and if easy is what you are looking for then do yourself a favor and get the remote installed.

Security Systems must be convenient so please keep this in mind when making a decision to install your monitored home security system.   Our new DSC six zone hardwired security system is expandable to sixteen zones with both hardwired and wireless capabilities.   To make your system more user friendly consider adding a wireless receiver to your hardwired security system that will give you the flexibility to tie in remote controls to arm and disarm your system.   Wireless remotes are great for those customers that like the bells and whistles but remotes will also allow you the convenience to arm with the press of a button from your car or bedside.  

Your monitored home security system should have a keypad at every entry, this way your system will be easy for you and other key holders to arm and disarm.  Most residential alarms will provide you with an audible entry and exit delay so that you can hear a reminder of the time to disarm or exit the home.

All accessible doors should be protected but consider the pros and cons of protecting the second level windows in bedrooms if you like fresh air while sleeping.  If you wish to have your system on while a protected window is open you will need to bypass this device each time before arming.  Bypassing is simple but not always convenient and may prevent you from arming your system.

Remember, we are all living busy lives with somewhere to be at a certain time, whether you're running out the door to a business meeting our loading the kids in the car to go shopping your system must be simple and easy to use.

Our wireless DSC smoke detectors are ideal for residential or commercial alarm clients with applications where running wire to a smoke detector location is either difficult or impossible. With no wires to run, our installers are able to provide you with a clean and professional installation.

False Alarm Reduction

Our manufacturer DSC is committed to reducing false alarms and has integrated a number of features into the wireless smoke detector to provide reliable detection. One important feature is drift compensation. It provides a constant level of sensitivity performance for extended operation. As dust accumulates in a detector it adjusts to maintain the original factory-set sensitivity, thereby minimizing the potential for false alarms. If the detector reaches its limit of compensation, it will Indicate a trouble condition well before the sensitivity increases to a level where false alarms will be generated.

If you wish to have a wireless smoke detector added to your monitored security alarm, please call our office today.

President of SECUR-U Inc. Douglas Penson was presented with the "Chief's Commendation" award in recognition of his meritorious effort in 2008 from Halton Regional Police Service.

Headline read.... "Man dubbed hero in purse-snatching Citizen's quick action leads to arrest" article released January 25th, 2008 by Stephanie Hounsell. 

Alarm bells went off in Doug Penson's mind when he saw a man heading away from a Main Street bank clutching a red purse.

"I said, 'This guy is not the type of guy to carry that kind of purse,'" Penson recalled.

That initial thought set in motion a sequence of events that eventually led police to a suspect in the purse snatching of a 66-year-old woman walking with a cane.

Police said that at about 3:30 p.m. Monday, the woman had left the CIBC bank at 147 Main St. and was headed to her vehicle in the rear parking lot when she was approached from behind.

A robber forcefully removed her purse from her shoulder and knocked her to the ground before fleeing, police said.

A great way to reduce false alarms with your monitored home security alarm is to activate two signal dispatch

Two signal dispatch functions as follows:

* When only one signal or zone is received from your monitored security alarm to the alarm monitoring company (ex: foyer motion detector) the central station will notify the premise and key holders but will not dispatch the police unless directed to do so by the keyholder that the station representative contacts.

* When two signals or zones are received from your monitored security alarm to the alarm monitoring company (Ex: foyer motion detector and front door contact) the central station will dispatch police, notify the premise and phone keyholders.

This service is only recommended if you have sufficient zone protection and coverage.   This service is not recommended if you are only protecting windows and doors and do not have any interior security such as motion detectors or glass break detectors.

SECUR-U provides the opportunity to lease your new video surveillance system, access control system, alarm system or intercom systems.  

A common questions is why should I lease rather than purchase? We did some leg work to find you the answers from our source National Leasing.

Here are some quick reasons:

Conserve Cash - Leasing allows you to conserve cash and leverage up the buying power of your operating or capital budgets, thereby overcoming budget limitations. A $30,000 annual equipment budget is leveraged up considerably through leasing

100% Financing - Unlike most traditional financing, in most cases you do not make any down payment on the structure.

No Pre-Payment of Taxes - You pay GST and PST on rentals. You DO NOT prepay the total taxes on the equipment in full up front.

Preserve Lines of Credit - Valuable cash and lines of credit are preserved to grow your business. No one in business experiences financial difficulty because they have too much cash.

Potential Income Tax Benefits - In many instances, leasing provides income tax benefits and the assets do not appear on the balance sheet. Debt to Equity ratios are unaffected.

Pay as You Profit - You establish equipment costs in today's dollars, and pay these costs incrementally in inflated future dollars, as the equipment is used. You can add extra equipment and accessories for very small monthly costs.

Tailored Payments - Repayment can be tailored to your cash flow. Budgeting is simple

Now it's up to you, the options are available to order your SECUR-U video surveillance system, Intercom System solution.  Order NOW! and someone from our sales team will be in touch shortly.

 

Residential security alarms have two primary options of arming which are the "Stay" and "Away" mode.  The main difference of these functions is that the motion detector(s) protecting the interior of the home will be bypassed in the "Stay" mode,  Bypassing motion detector(s) allows the homeowner to have the perimeter armed and maintain the comfort and protection while in the home. 

When arming your securtiy alarm in the "Away" mode both perimeter and interior devices such as window contacts, door contacts and motion detetors will protect the perimeter and interior of your home. 

If you choose to arm your alarm system by entering a four digit code instead of a quick arm button such as "Stay" or "Away" your system is intelligent enough to determine if you have opened a door and left within the exit time permitted.  If you do not open a door within the established delay period the security alarm panel will bypass the motion detector(s) inside the home automatically to prevent a false alarm.

If you have an alarm wireless system you will have the option of a wireless remote or pendant which is available for convenient arming with the push of a button.  This pendant can be added to your key ring for easy use when entering or exiting your home.
