New & Noteworthy

FIRST ANNUAL SOAK & SHARE WAS A SPLASHING SUCCESS!


On August 12th, 2025 the Reed Security team put down their tools and keyboards to head to the park for our first annual SOAK & SHARE team building event.


The afternoon was all about connection, laughter, and celebrating our awesome team. In addition to an epic water fight, the event was also an opportunity to recognize and reward employees for their contributions over the past year.


It wasn’t just Reed Security staff who got in on the fun - some local kids joined in when they saw all the action, adding even more energy and smiles to the day.


At Reed Security, we believe that when you take care of your staff, they’ll take care of your clients. Soak & Share was a perfect reminder that investing in our people is investing in the customer experience.


Special thanks to Lesli and Sarah for organizing and hosting the event. Your planning made it easy for everyone else to relax and fully enjoy the day.


Events like this remind us that success isn’t just about numbers - it’s about people, teamwork, and shared moments. And at Reed Security, we’ve got the best.

LIGHT IT UP


Burglars hate attention. A dark yard or driveway gives them cover, while a bright, well-lit property makes them think twice.

Here’s how to use lighting to your advantage:

💡 Install motion-activated lights
They surprise anyone who gets too close and save energy by only turning on when needed. A great option is our AI Floodlight camera.

🏡 Light up entry points
Make sure doors, windows, and garages are visible from the street. Criminals prefer to do their dirty work where they cannot be seen.

🌙 Use timers for indoor lights
Set lamps to turn on in the evening when you are away. It creates the impression someone is home.

🚨 Upgrade to smart lighting
Control your lights from your phone and adjust them anytime, anywhere. Reed Security has smart light switches.  

A well-lit property sends a clear message: this home is not an easy target.






LOCK IT DOWN


Burglars look for the easiest target. If your home looks like too much work, they move on.

Here’s how to make your place tougher to break into:

🔒 Lock all doors and windows

Front. Back. Upstairs. Basement. Double check the ones people usually forget.

🪟 Install window bars on basement windows

They’re affordable, easy to install, and instantly make your home less appealing to a thief.

💡 Inspect your window locks

Just because it looks closed doesn’t mean it’s secure. Give each lock a tug and fix anything loose or flimsy.

🚗 Lock your vehicle too

Thieves often target vehicles parked in driveways and on the street. Always lock your doors, close the windows, and never leave valuables in plain sight. Garage door openers, wallets, and spare keys are hot targets. A quick check before bed can prevent a lot of headaches.

Most break-ins happen because someone made it easy. Don’t be that someone.





NEW! OUR AI FLOODLIGHT CAMERA PROTECTS YOUR DRIVEWAY


Meet the Only Camera That Fights Back

Most cameras record.

Some cameras alert.

This one intervenes.


Reed Security is proud to introduce the new Alarm.com AI Floodlight Camera - the most advanced outdoor security device we’ve ever installed. And it’s only available with professional installation by our expert team.


This isn’t your average motion light or driveway cam.


It’s a smart deterrent system built for one purpose:   

To stop crime before it happens.





The #1 Way to Protect Vehicles in Your Driveway

If you’ve ever had your car broken into or know someone who has, you know how frustrating it is. Cameras might catch a grainy image after the fact - but by then, the damage is done.


Our AI Floodlight Camera is different.


✅ It detects people loitering near your vehicle

✅ It triggers 3,000 lumens of blinding LED light

✅ It activates flashing red and blue strobes, just like a police cruiser

✅ It plays a loud siren to scare off criminals

✅ You can talk to the person live via two-way audio

✅ You get a smart alert on your phone in real-time


No other camera on the market responds like this.


High-Performance Tech, Professionally Installed by Reed Security

This isn’t a DIY product. It’s a pro-grade security solution designed to work with your existing Alarm.com smart system - and it’s available at Reed Security and our authorized dealers.


We’ll come to your home or business, install it properly, and set it up to:


  • Record 24/7 or based on smart motion triggers
  • Save encrypted footage locally (with microSD) or in the cloud
  • Integrate with your smart home devices (locks, lights, garage, etc.)






💡 Light Up Your Property. Scare Off Intruders. Sleep Better.

Whether you’re protecting your family, your vehicle, or your tools and gear, the Alarm.com AI Floodlight Camera gives you the upper hand.


Perfect for:

  • Driveways
  • Backyards
  • Side yards
  • Garages and sheds

THINK BEFORE YOU POST


You're at the lake. You snap the perfect sunset pic. You post it with a caption like “Gone for the week!”

Guess who else is watching?

Burglars scroll social media too - and your public post just told them your house is empty.

Here’s the smarter move:

  • Wait to post your vacation photos until you’re back.
  • Or share privately with trusted friends and family through text, WhatsApp, or private groups.
  • Keep your profile settings tight. Limit what strangers can see.

💡 You wouldn’t hang a “We’re not home!” sign on your front door. So don’t do it online either.

Stay off the radar while you're away - and come home to everything just the way you left it.
