Now, this is a question for Dave Condon, Owner, Northeast Security Solutions in West Springfield. Dave, a member of the PVP for just a few months now, has really made a lasting impression with all of us. That baby face may fool some folks, but when you sit down and talk security with Dave, his knowledge far outweighs any question you may have had as to his expertise.
What you have to respect about Dave, is his honest approach. He will tell it like it is; no candy coating, no sales pitch to seal the deal, just facts. He is very conservative when “selling” his product. You can tell he is truly looking out for your own personal level of comfort for what systems you may be looking at. There are so many different options, that there is something truly for every budget and level of comfort.
One thing Dave was able to provide us with is some basic facts that we may not be aware of:
Poor landscaping may be the cause of your house being at risk… larger shrubs or bushes located near or at any entry points of your home giving undesirables hiding places and subsequent access to your front door, back door and/or windows. Keep landscaping neat and trimmed. Overgrown shrubs is not just a sign of much needed chores, it may potentially put your home and your family at risk. Lower shrubs and bushes do not allow for places to hide. You can also put various picker bushes in place as well, as to not leave them any spots to crouch down behind. Roses, Barberry, check with your local garden house.
Another huge deterrent is bright outdoor lighting. If your house is brighter than the house next door, which house do you think the burglar will most likely approach? Not that we want to send any ill will onto your neighbors and friends, however, you need to be sure you are protecting yourself and your family. Security lights, motion detectors, even cameras depending on the level needed.
Now, another false sense of security is the family dog. Yes, Fido can deter a potential novice from sneaking in an open window, however, if there is someone that truly wants to get into your home, they will find a way and Fifi will simply be in the way. With no security system in place, you may also be putting your family pet at risk. They are not made to protect the home, they are truly part of your family, and just like you would not want anything to happen to little Johnny, you should also not want anything to happen to Spot either. There have been numerous stories on the local news regarding pets being injured or killed during a break in. And besides, are you really looking to entrust your safety and the safety of your family and belongings to the family member who grabs his liquid nutrients from the bathroom toilet. :O)
Another thing you want to be sure of is that your deadbolts are secure. May I say, that after listening to Dave and having the hands on touch and feel of various products, that all deadbolts are not created equal! Some are fairly flimsy, and could easily be a point of entry for someone. Doors, another big factor. Are they set right, is there a gap, is the jam secure? You have to keep in mind that a seasoned burglar will try to look as natural as possible when doing his "job". With that said, crawling thru a window may draw some attention. They may opt for entering right thru the grand foyer, thinking if they look that obvious, no one will question what they are doing. There are so many different things to think of, and Dave was so knowledgeable with his products that he did no less than impress!
Dave was also very up front to let us know that he may not be the least expensive company out there, however, after all was said and done, and taking into consideration the installation and monitoring fees, Northeast Security Solutions is by far, the best bang for your buck! Not to mention, you own the equipment outright with them, it is not leased with the potential of being stuck with the balance of what is due for the signed contract.
From keypad access to your business to wireless remotes for your home windows, the options are endless when it comes to safety and your home. Also you can be rest assured that the employees and technicians that work with you at Northeast are fully credentialed, over and above what their competitors require.
Northeast Security Solutions has a long history with this community, and the business has been in the family for quite some time. The company has morphed a few different times to grow with the times and has bettered themselves each and every step of the way, keeping the needs of the community at the forefront of their decisions!
