Jump In Property Crime Justifies Home Security Solutions

The crime rate for Coconut Creek, Florida, has jumped 30% largely due to property crimes.  Broward County has reported a slight increase overall in its crime rate due to the poor economy.  People who would have never considered crime before are now turning to property theft. Your property is a target that these newer criminals have firmly in their sights, and the only way to discourage them is to install a proper security system. 

We’ve talked before about the advantages of home video surveillance with Slingbox, a home entertainment system that home security is a small aspect of.  Simple Solutions Digital is a licensed installer of these systems and can set it up for you so that home security is the focal point of the system.  You can install webcams in various locations in your home and be able to watch what is going on in your home from anywhere that you can find an internet connection.

Other home security solutions require a monthly subscription fee and a costly setup, the benefit of which is only home security.  The Slingbox system requires no monthly subscription fee and its primary function is as a home theater server for your entire house.  It also lets you watch TV from your home DVR on your iPhone or any computer that you can scare up an internet connection on.  The benefits of the system are too numerous to go into from an entertainment standpoint, but the home security aspect of it is the reason that you can take to the bank.  Depending on your insurance company, you may even qualify for a discount on your home insurance coverage with such a system installed.

You can upload your entire DVD collection to the Slingbox and have access to it from any television in your home rather than needing to run around looking for the DVD that you want.  You can also upload your entire music collection, which will keep your CD’s and DVD’s from collecting any dust.  Keep an eye on how much game time your kids are getting from work by plugging the games system into the Slingbox.  The possibilities are endless with this technology, and Simple Solutions Digital can install it for you.
