New Home, New Security System Your Way
When building a new home, you’ve got a lot to think about, “What’s the floor plan going to look like?”, “What’s our budget for the build?”, “What’s our timeline look like?”. While these are the most important questions to answer, there’s a question that often gets overlooked and that “What do I need to plan for security when building a new house?” It’s important to think about what features you’d like in the future like in-ceiling or in-wall speakers, automatic blinds or shades, indoor and outdoor security cameras, and so much more. This is because you can save yourself a lot of money by pre-wiring your home to be ready for these upgrades and additions. Not only does this help you save money if you decide to add these things later, but it also raises your home value even if you decide not to add those items to your home.
We are proud to offer custom design solutions at every stage of your life, whether you’re building from scratch, buying a new home, or staying right where you are. Our team will help you choose what solutions and pre-wiring options are right for you and could save you thousands in the future. Fill out the form here, or give us a call at (715) 330-HOME!
What You Need to Get Started on Your Home Security System
One of the most common things we get asked is “What do I actually need for a basic home security setup?” and the answer is simple, whatever is right for your home and needs. With a security system from Mosaic Technologies and HomeTech by Mosaic, you can start with as much or as little as you’d like to and add to your system as you see fit. To start your system, we recommend utilizing a smart security panel, a few door and window contact sensors, and an indoor camera.
The smart security panel we typically suggest is the IQ 4 Panel from Qolsys and will act as your control center for all your security products and will allow you to arm/disarm your security system, as well as set automations for your home if you add in products like smart lighting, automatic shades, smart audio, and more! Door and window contact sensors are exactly that, they sense if a door or window has been opened on your property. Simply place the two pieces of the sensor to where they are touching when the door or window is closed and then once it is opened, the sensors will disconnect from each other, alerting you that it has been opened. Last but not least, we have an indoor camera, typically the Alarm.com 1080p Indoor Wi-Fi Camera, which allows you to see into your home when you’re away and alerts you if there is any irregular activity. These items create a baseline for your home and give you basic information on if your home is secure while you’re away, but there are even more ways to protect your home just by adding handful of additional products to your security system.
