Home Security:
The 5 BIGGEST Trends

For 16 Years Reed Security has helped Families Feel Safe and Businesses Grow Their Bottom Line. We're industry leaders and pride ourselves in making sure our clients stay informed and have access to the latest cutting-edge technology. Here's what you need to know: 

1. BREAK-INS ARE INCREASING

• Many Police Departments have on-line Crime Mapping Tools that shows you where all the crime is.
• Over the past year Calgary had 9077 Break & Enters.
• Over the past year Saskatoon had 2290 Break & Enters.
• Over the past year Regina had 1599 Break & Enters.
• Over the past year Prince Albert had 505 Break & Enters.

2. NO PHONE LINES

• Due to the popularity of smartphones and affordability of high speed internet, Home Owners are choosing to drop their home phone lines.
• In fact, 1 in 3 homes no longer have a phone line and nearly 70% of Reed Security's new subscribers use Alarm.com 3G/4G cellular and I.P. signalling instead.
• Drop your home phone line today and save between $20 and $30 a month with your phone company.

3. HUGE WIRELESS RANGE

• The majority of home security systems are now wireless.
• No more drill holes, damaged electrical wires and pipes or cracked base-boards.
• The DSC Power Series NEO has a wireless range (between sensors and wireless transceiver) of 1.6 KM's and a battery life of 5 to 7 years.

4. ALARM.COM SMART SECURITY

• View system status, monitor activity at your property, watch live and recorded video, arm and disarm your system, set up user codes - all from easy-to-use web and mobile apps.
• Geo-Services uses your smartphone's location to take useful actions on your behalf. Imagine pulling up to your home on a dark night...and the lights were automatically turned on a few minutes before you arrive.
• HD Wi-Fi Doorbell. See your visitors in 1080p HD and 5x zoom. Check live view video feed from the app, or record clips automatically when the doorbell is pressed or motion is detected. Hear, and speak to the visitor at your door whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go. Replaces your existing wired doorbell. Requires Wi-Fi Connection.
• Automatic Door Locks. Lock or unlock your doors from a built-in keypad - a perfect solution for kids that keep losing house keys. Lock or unlock your doors and control the garage door from anywhere with our mobile app. Check on the status of your doors and garage and know if they’re secured or not. Get a reminder if you leave home and forget to close the garage door.

5. DOOR TO DOOR SCAMS

• Several alarm companies only have SUMMER PROGRAMS. Large crews of university students are hired and offered large commissions ($400 to $500 per contract) to get you to sign up.
• There's always a limited time offer and you are pressured to sign up right away.
• They target big cities and small towns and especially like senior citizens.
• Sales person won't leave even when you tell them to "Leave"
• Sales person won't leave when you tell them "No Thanks"

Virgil Reed
Owner, Reed Security  

Before the project we met with Chris Nomeland, Assistant General Manager, and provided a FREE Security Evaluation. After the installation we again connected with Chris and these were his comments: 

1. We chose Reed because of the reputation and customer service.  Pairing this with supporting a local business made this decision the right one for us.
2. We switched our Monitoring to consolidate our initial ReedHD camera system and security to one invoice. The service we had received from start to finish with the camera system made switching our monitoring a no brainer. 
3. The ReedHD Business Bundle made the decision easy for us to onboard the camera system.  Knowing we were going to get great cameras, installed by professionals, serviced quickly and a plan tailored to our needs again fit our plan perfectly.  Also having the app on our smartphones to see what is happening whether inside our business or when we are away is great.
4. We would definitely refer other business colleagues to start a discussion with Reed Security.

Before the project we met with Norris Rusling, Manager Corporate Technology, and provided a FREE Security Evaluation. After the installation we again connected with Norris and these were his comments: 

1. We chose to go with Reed Security because of the great reviews from their other customers and their responses to our questions. They didn't try and sell us something that we didn't need, they listened to us and created a solution that worked for us.

2. We like the solution we got, because it does what we need it to do. The equipment is from a reputable Canadian company and we know that we will always have Reed Security there to help us get through any issue that may come up. 

3. We would definitely refer Reed Security to others. Their installations have been done quickly, accurately and are well planned. Their equipment is good quality and works like expected.

A TESTIMONIAL FROM DEPESH PARMAR, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, IDEAS INC

Project: Ideas Inc

Ideas Inc is a business incubator located in Riversdale, Saskatoon. They serve as a launch pad to develop growing businesses by offering space, coaching and mentorship. Check out their video... 

Before the project we met with Depesh Parmar, Executive Director, and provided a FREE Security Evaluation. After the installation we again connected with Depesh and these were his comments: 

1. We decided to have our security needs assessed by Reed Security for multiple reasons. We were unhappy with our current service providers customer service. Also, we found our security system was dated and not providing the level of protection needed for our clients. After we conducted a security assessment, we were impressed with the options provided to improve our alarm system, cameras, key fobs and overall building security at a feasible price.

2. The systems provided by Reed Security have vastly improved the operations of our organization. The key fob system is easy to use allowing us to track who is entering the building and de-activate lost fobs. The hi-definition camera system is much improved, allowing us to view live streams on the go from our mobile devices and computers. Also, we can easily change alarm codes for new tenants entering the building. The install was done quickly and it was a pleasure to work with the Reed Security team. 

3. I would definitely recommend Reed Security to others. The customer service is exceptional, they are always there to help you with each step in the process and any future needs. Not only is our security improved, but our operations as a whole runs more efficient.

Project: Lead

In July 2015 Lead expanded into their 9,000 square foot facility in the Sutherland area. Their state-of-the-art facility hosts over 100 classes per week including classes for healthy and healing bodies, for golfers, for bodies who are or have gone through cancer treatment, and athletic classes like their Hot Pilates (appropriately named "Burn).  Their youngest client is 5 and their oldest is 87.  Connected to the fitness area is their integrated health services clinic - home to chiropractic, massage therapy, sports medicine and reiki. Later this summer their Naturopathic Medicine doctor and theirReflexologist will join the team. The goal at Lead is to educate, inspire and move every body that walks in their door. Their team works together to meet the wellness needs of their clients. In essence, each client has their own personal wellness team!

To start the project we met Jason Danielson, co-owner, on site and provided a FREE Security Evaluation. After the installation we connected with Jana Danielson, co-owner, and these were her comments: 

• There were many options that we considered when we selected a security provider for our new location
• Criteria that we used to narrow down our selection was:
  • service from a local company
  • experience in the industry
  • quality of product compared to price
  • technology available in the security system to protect our investment
• When considering these parameters there was only one company that not only met all of our requirements, but ranked highest in almost every category and that was Reed Security
• Right from the proposal phase of our experience with Virgil and his team, they were by far the most detailed and easiest to work with
• We encountered a few challenges caused by other contractors actions prior to the installation that the Reed Security team stepped up andhandled without even troubling us during a very busy and stressful time prior to opening our doors
