Simple Home Security

Simple home security has never been easier... no really, I mean it!

Welcome back to part two of our five part series on SafeMart's new home security package: SmartMoney. Today we're going to be looking at the simplicity of the thing.

Lets run through an ordinary DIY purchase and installation, and then lets compare SmartMoney and see how it stacks up.

Ok, first the DIY. Once you've decided you want to go DIY, you'll need to choose your system, and your accessories. If you're ordering from a reputable company, you'll be able to get someone to help you do this. Once you've decided, you purchase your system, and wait for it to arrive. Now its at your house. You need to install the system. So, you read through the installation manual, and trudge ahead. If you chose one of the more popular systems from SafeMart, you'll receive an installation DVD that makes it pretty easy. Still, you have to program your entire system, install sensors and then do a test. At this point, if everything is working, you'll be ready for monitoring. And, again, if you went with a reputable company they should be offering you free tech support during this process. So, its not overly difficult, but you will have to do some wiring, be familiar with some industry terms to really follow the installation manual, and then actually program it yourself.

Now on to SmartMoney. With SmartMoney, once you decide you want to go with this system, you'll see an easy webform with your options laid out. No guessing as to which accessories go with the system, they're all on screen for you to see. What happens next is really what simple home security is all about. You'll receive an email with a list of all of the items you purchased. That email has a link to a pre-programming page. Here, you simply tell SafeMart which device is supposed to go where in your home. After that, they program it for you. When your package arrives, all of the sensors are already programmed in, and the system is ready to go. All you have to do is set time and date, change your user codes, mount the sensors and do a simple test. And, the SmartMoney package includes a DVD to walk you through even those basic steps.

So, what am I saying? Should you always choose SmartMoney over DIY? Absolutely not! For many people, DIY is the best possible option. They're inclined to "do it themselves" and they're ready for the task. It will save them some money and allow them to "get their hands dirty." But, if you're looking for a really simple home security solution, it doesn't get any better than SmartMoney. Stop by and take a look!
