Village Alarms
 

Thinking of using them to install a system in my home and monitor. Any info regarding them would be appreciated.

Never heard of them, but if you're the least bit computer savvy, you can easily instal a system yourself.

I installed a SimpliSafe system in my home (it can be monitored for police & fire if you want) and controlled over your smart phone. IIRC, it took about two hrs to install and set up. It has a doorbell camera, outdoor cameras (if you want them), glass break and smoke detectors, door and window sensors, water sensors... Everything you could possibly want. I can turn the alarm on/off via my phone if I'm away and I ask a neighbor to check inside the house.

Ring also has a system that does the same thing.

WHY !! I’ve lived in 6 different homes in 6 different neighborhoods and still don’t know anyone who has been robbed also I’m a very social person and have never heard anyone at social event that’s been robbed , I’m sure it happens but if you listen to the sherif you have better odds getting hit by lightning and I don’t have lightning either

Been wondering about the need for an alarm myself. Other than in the event of fire if we are not home not sure we need it.

Another option is Galaxy Home Solutions in Wildwood. I recommend.

Then the simple solution is to not install one...

Others have their own needs and concerns...

When out walking my dog (typically across my neighbor's lawns :icon_wink: ), I see quite a few alarm signs. So it seems that others share the same concerns...

You must be in a high anxiety neighborhood , because I never see many and I have lots of 5 mile walk routines from 466 to Fenny

If they think they need a sign or alarm no reason not to get one. Just think that this is a very safe area.

the fact that many homeowners here have means to protect themselves and property does bode well for the rest of us

So why can't folks just respond to the question asked? How are the replies help full to the OP?

Since nobody seems to have used Village Alarms the OP did get some alternatives and thoughts from others. Is it better to get no answers?

I was just trying to be helpful. :mornincoffee:

If you've never heard of the business, offering an alternative is not helpful?

I'll remember that the next time you ask for help...

Ive used Village Alarms and they are excellent. Clean, neat work and on time.

Hey we got the winner

We originally put an alarm in with Brighthouse.
They then got out of the business.

We then had The Villages Alarm install a new system a few
years ago. They did a great job & I would recommend them.

We have always had an alarm and it gives you peace of
mind.
