Is a home security system really necessary?
Cases of burglaries and thefts are on the rise, which means that more and more homeowners are becoming concerned about their families and their properties. A home security system with burglar alarm monitoring makes your home a less likely target of break-ins and burglaries.
But, I live in a neighborhood with a good local patrol service, and I have good locks on my doors and windows. Why do I need a monitored alarm system?
There are vulnerabilities in even the safest, most well-monitored areas. Even though regular patrolling is an effective deterrent for burglaries, a monitored alarm system is "on call" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How does an alarm system fend off would-be burglars?
Approximately 90% of burglars would prefer to break into homes without security systems. These criminals want the easy way in; they don’t want to risk an alarm siren going off. Read statistics on home burglaries and learn how burglar alarm monitoring helps.
Can a home security system save me money?
Yes. Not only will a home security system add value to your property, but it will also save you from 10 to 20 percent on your homeowner’s insurance under most policies.
What if my home is located far from the security company’s command centers?
Signals from your home are transmitted electronically, so your location has no effect on the monitoring stations ability to receive your alarm signals.
How is a wireless security system different from a hardwire security system?
Wireless systems allow for ease of installation for two-story homes. DCSI, Inc. prefers to install a hardwire system for most one story homes and businesses. We only use wireless equipment when there is no attic accessibility to run the wiring. There is no difference in the operation of a wireless system than a traditional hardwire system.

No phone line…No problem
DCSI, Inc. can monitor your home alarm system with our optional digital cellular communicator if you choose not to install a phone line. You can also install a cellular back up system for added protection in the event of telephone service interruption or a cable cut.
How the Home Security System Actually Works
Will the security system work if there is a loss of power?
Yes. Systems come with a back-up battery that will run the system for several hours. Once the battery is low, a signal will be transmitted to the monitoring center and you will be notified about it.
Are pets a problem for an alarm system?
No. Major home security systems use pet immunity, which allows for most animals that weighs less than 40 pounds to wander around the home without setting off the alarm. Pets that weigh more than 40 pounds may require a system sensor upgrade.
