Make Life More Secure by Remotely Monitoring Your Security Alarms 

It may be disturbing and shocking—but waking to a security or smoke alarm is truly a blessing. We receive an advanced notice to the danger at hand and can assess the situation to escape before it’s too late.

However, what happens if a carbon monoxide, smoke, or security alarm goes off while you’re not home? Perhaps you’re at work, or you’re jetting off to Europe. Wherever you may be, without a smart security system in place, you won’t know of the danger in your house until it’s too late.

See what an automated security system can do to keep your Las Vegas, NV home safe by following the steps below!

Consider These Questions Before You Start Work on Your Las Vegas Home

Security cameras used to be something you would only see in commercial buildings and secure environments. They were relatively expensive for home use and required special wiring and recording equipment for video footage. Today's internet-connected software and inexpensive camera technology have completely changed that landscape.

Today’s cameras are connected to the internet, can detect motion and sound, and even recognize objects like animals, vehicles, and people’s faces. Modern cameras can provide the peace of mind of knowing what's going on in and around your property at all times, and not just when something unexpected happens. You can keep an eye on pets, know when your children get home from school, and even check in on elderly relatives.

Options abound with security cameras, from do-it-yourself systems to high-end continuous video surveillance. As home security experts in the Las Vegas area for over 30 years, Eagle Sentry wants you to be able to make informed decisions to get the security camera installation that’s right for you.

Just Like Craft Beer, Locally Brewed Home Security is Better

Without question, you have many choices for home security. Where once you had to have a professional come out and wire your house to install sensors, alarms, and control pads, today you can go with a do-it-yourself (DIY), mostly wireless kit and have a modicum of protection and control over your property. There are also many national security companies with "starter" systems advertised for very low cost if you sign up for their monitoring plans.

You Need Today’s Technology, Installed by Experts

Security systems have been around for a long time. We know, since Eagle Sentry has been installing security and surveillance systems in and around Las Vegas since 1986. The traditional security system provided peace of mind that something is keeping an eye on your property when you’re away. The typical system had sensors attached to windows and doors and a control system that could be armed and disarmed. When armed, the system could notify a monitoring center about a door or window that has been opened (or broken) when it wasn’t expected.
