Whether you’re updating your family’s home, or you just bought a new house, coming back to a cozy home is priceless. And there’s no better way to ensure peace of mind than to install a custom residential alarm system in your Grand Prairie home.
Here are 360 Alarm Grand Prairie’s top tips for creating a safe and comfy home.
Home Safety is Always a Priority
Here at 360 Alarm, our number one priority is to make sure that your family and your home are safe against threats. When installing a new home security system, we always recommend that our clients choose systems that offer intrusion detection and record would-be burglars so the Grand Prairie police department can help find them.
Grand Prairie Security camera installation
Security cameras are one of your home’s first lines of defense. SafeHome.org compiled statistics surrounding burglaries in the USA. In a study conducted by The University of North Carolina-Charlotte Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology, 422 inmates were surveyed for burglary to discover their perception of home security.
Of the 422 inmates, 83% tried to figure out if their target residence had an alarm, and 60% decided to seek an alternative target if they found an alarm. That’s significant– indicating that the majority of potential offenders are deterred from home cameras and security systems.
We recommend installing as many security cameras as necessary to monitor inside and outside of your home. Place cameras near the front door, doorbell, garage, over the driveway, and in places that are easily accessible, like the backdoor and first floor windows.
Intrusion detection systems
In a similar study, it was noted that 81% of burglars gained access through the first floor. If having a home security system is proven to deter intruders, installing intrusion detection systems will dissuade them from approaching your doors and windows.
360 Alarm’s detection system alerts you of any unusual activity from your doors and windows. Not only will it tell you if these entry points are opened, but it can even detect suspicious motion. Most burglaries are fast (some as quick as 90 seconds). So a prompt alert is critical.

Lower Your Household Energy Bills
Speaking of customizing your thermostat, it’s only natural to talk about energy efficiency. Because your system is accessible by smartphone, energy cost savings are at your fingertips.
According to Energy.gov, it’s possible to save up to 10% per year on heating and cooling by turning your thermostat back 7°-10°F for 8 hours a day.
Simply minimize your thermostat usage while you’re away on errands. The next time you leave the house, you can turn off the heat/ air conditioning while you’re out. Then on your way home, you can set it to your ideal temperature so your house is ready when you arrive.
It’s now easier than ever to program your home’s energy expenditure.
