I actually started working part time as an Alarm Installer while I was still in High School.  After college I worked for several large nationally known security companies before starting my own business in 1986.  Through the years I have sold and installed literally thousands of  Security Systems.  Along the way, I have had some good mentors and partners who have taught me many valuable insights about the business.  I've also identified some of the best products and practices available to the Security Industry. In the "old days" most of my customers were very concerned about the quality of the equipment but no one seems to care much about that anymore. Today, most folks are more interested in getting the lowest price possible. As a result of this "fast food" approach to so many things in our culture the Big Boys like ADT and Brinks have captured the interest of the public with low cost promotional products designed to attract numerous customers.  By now everyone has seen the slick advertisements for the $199.00 (or less) Alarm Systems.   Most of us are smart enough to realize that if it sound too good to be true - it probably is.  The simple truth is - you always get what you pay for! Think about it, if a person only pays $199.00 for an entire Alarm System what do you really expect they will get?  A quality product? Don't count on it - the Companies that promote these "teaser systems" use the cheapest equipment available to attract just another account. Notice I used the word account instead of customer.  We live in a world where big corporations are only interested in adding accounts - the days of highly valuing every customer are fading fast... If you are one of the few who still values quality over price - then we have something in common!   I don't know about you but when it comes to protecting my family and my business - I really don't want the cheapest product available, I want the best that money can buy!!! Honesty, price isn't the issue for me - especially when it comes to Security.  What is really important is finding the absolute best product to fit the application!  If this philosophy appeals to you then read on...  I offer two basic packages that can be customized to your particular needs.  Both feature a Powerful Cross Platform Control which is manufactured by ELK Products.  You may have never heard of this Company before but theses guys have been around for many decades and are one of the most respected manufactures of innovative Security and Automation products of the highest quality. The ELK Control provides not only a rock solid Security System but also offers a platform for many Automation features that many people are looking for today.

Here are a few examples of what my personal M1 does at my home: When we arm the System it responds by speaking, " System Armed to Away Mode"  (my wife refers to the voice as Lola...) When we return home I have my M1 programmed to say, "Welcome Home, Disarm System" - very cool and my kids are prompted to enter thier code to turn the System off. My wife operates a business out of the home so I installed an outdoor motion detector across our driveway which detects her customer's arrival.  During the day Lola announces "Driveway Visitor" each time one of her clients arrive.  If an Alarm occurs the speakers that I have installed all over the residence begin to announce the Specific Emergency Condition.  This is an especially important feature if you have ever experienced the typical alarm system tripping in the middle of the night scenario - where the whole family is sound asleep and the siren starts wailing. That's great - a blaring siren sound! But now what do you do?  Is it an intruder or is it a fire?  Should you "lock & load" or get the kids out of their 2nd floor bedrooms because of a fire?  With the M1GOLD speaking alarm conditions as they take place you would know if someone forced open a "Basement Window" then continued on in by tripping the "Basement Motion Detector."  Hopefully you'll never find yourself in this situation - but it would certainly be nice to have the power of the ELK Control working for you if it happens. I understand that purchasing a Security System for you Home or Business is an important decision.  You certainly will be able to find a less expensive solution than the one I am offering - but is that really a wise investment? The ELK equipment that I am offering should give you trouble free service and valuable protection of life & property for many years to come.  Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you.
