NO HOME PHONE LINE? NO PROBLEM

What Happens If
I Don't Have a
Home Phone Line?

The Problem:

  • More and more people are using their iPhones and Android Smartphones Insteadof their home phone lines.
  • By cancelling your home phone line you can Save $30 to $50 a month ($360 to $600 a year) depending on your service provider.
  • By cancelling your home phone line - You Will Also Be Disrupting Your Home Security System (in most cases an alarm system relies on a home phone line to notify our 24/7 Emergency Operators)
  • You will No Longer Have Peace of Mind and your Insurance Company No Longer Provides a 10% to 25% Discount on your insurance policy.      

The Solution:

No Phone Line? No Problem. Simply add a Reed Security GSM/3G Cellular Communicator onto your home or business alarm system.

  • 5x Faster signalling than using a land line - our 24/7 Monitoring Stations can notify you and dispatch faster.
  • Best Security - No phone lines that can intentionally or accidentally be cut (many business clients such as Pharmacies, Jewellery Stores, Liquor Outlets, and Banks already have GSM/3G back-up service).
  • Best Price$0 down, $17.95/mo.* for 36 months when added onto your regular monthly monitoring fees.
  • Works with most existing systems.

CONSUMER WARNING: HOW TO DEAL WITH HIGH PRESSURE DOOR TO DOOR SALESPEOPLE (THAT WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER)

Consumer Warning

 

It's that time of year when you will be getting pressured by door to door salespeople. They would like to sign you up to "limited time offer" that expires "right away". And before you know you know it you're on the hook for thousands of dollars. (This happens several thousand times each year).

The Pressure:

 

  • Sales person won't leave even when you tell them to "Leave"
  • Sales person won't leave when you tell them "No Thanks"
  • Sales person won't leave when you say "I Already Have Your Products or Service"
  • Sales person name drops the name of your neighbor and makes it sound like "they signed up" or "they bought one" or "they referred me to you"
  • Sales person comes to the house more than once

 

The Solutions:

 

  1. Put Up Your Hand and "Say NO". Immediately close the door and the sales person will eventually leave.
  2. Tell them "You are Trespassing" and that you will call the BBB Better Business Bureau, Consumer Protection Branch and the Police if they do not leave.

    BBB   1-888-352-7601
    Consumer Protection   1-877-880-5550 
    Saskatoon Police   (306) 975-8300 

    RCMP (Saskatoon)   (306) 975-5173 or call your Local Detachment
     
  3. Always Get 3 Quotes for whatever you consider purchasing. This gives you the time to gather information and to check if the "deal" being presented to you is the best option.
  4. Never Accept Quick Delivery of a product or service. This gives you a cooling off period and more time to gather facts.
  5. If you did proceed with the offer You Have 10 Days to Change Your Mind and CANCEL (and get a full refund). It's the Law in Saskatchewan.
  6. Don't Forget - You may already be in a contract for the products or services being offered to you.

TESTIMONIAL FROM THE LUXE BUILDING

 

 When the condo owners at The LUXE Building wanted to See who's at the front door and get better security they partnered with Reed Security.

The Problem:

  • Many multi-unit buildings can no longer (affordably) display the front door camera on their TV's.
  • Occupants could previously view the front door camera on a TV channel when Shaw Cable was the only cable TV option.
  • The old TV solution is no longer a viable option because many multi unit tennants have a combination of Shaw Cable, MAX, Satelite TV, Internet TV, or no TV at all.
  • Retrofitting a 24 suite finished building of this size with the old TV solution would cost more than $15,000.

The Solution:

We met the client and customized a
ReedHD hi-def Video Surveillance system with the following features and benefits:

  • Protecting the entire building with ReedHD hi-def cameras was nearly the same cost as retrofitting the building with an expired solution.
  • Condo owners can access ReedHD cameras with their PC, iPhone, iPad, or Android devices - unlimited Users
  • Condo owners also talk to the visitor at the front door with an audio intercom before letting them into the building. This was previously installed.
  • Interior ReedHD cameras protect all Entrances including the Parking Garage
  • Exterior ReedHD cameras protect the Building and the Parking Lot.
  • Some cameras have Wide Dynamic Range capabilities (optimized image quality in bright and shadow conditions)
  • Some cameras have I.R. Illumination Nightvision (see in the dark)
  • 24/7 digital recording of all cameras for 14 to 30 days
  • Professional Installation - On Time and On Budget
  • up to 3 Years Manufacturers Limited Warranty to protect their investment
  • Reed Security Award Winning Service

The Testimonial:

"We are VERY pleased. Certainly everyone from Reed Security that I have dealt with has been fantastic!"
