Take peace of mind into your own hands with a DIY home security by Reed's Built-Ins. We offer top-notch security customized to fit your needs without the monthly cost of a company-run security system. Using a completely integrated system, we custom-design a security system based on your needs and preferences. Whether you need a decked-out system to finish your home automation system or a few security sensors for extra peace of mind, we'll discuss everything to include in your security system package.
The Security System Essentials
Let’s discuss what your home security system needs and how to get the best bang for your buck.
Indoor & Outdoor Security Cameras
Adding indoor and outdoor security cameras to your home can be a huge blessing. From keeping tabs on your kids to checking on your house while you’re on vacation, there’s nothing like knowing your home is safe and secure no matter where you are.
Security Sensors
When it comes to home security basics, sensors are a top priority. In order to properly protect your home, a variety of security sensors can be implemented. Whether you need window sensors or a motion detector, a DIY system can be customized to fit your exact needs.
Smoke Detectors
Every home is outfitted with a system of smoke detectors. A DIY security system can be outfitted with state-of-the-art smoke detectors ran through a structured wiring system. This system is run through one large central backup battery that only needs to be changed every five to seven years.
Structured Wiring
Reed’s Built-Ins offers a home security system ran through a structured wiring system. This keeps your wiring organized and the system simple. This gives you a wireless network that’s designed for fast and easy connection.
Optional Monitoring
Every Reed’s Built-Ins security system includes a year of free monitoring service. After the year you can continue the monitoring service with a monthly-based subscription. This gives you the freedom you need without any of those multi-year contracts that trap you in a service.
Why DIY?
Now let’s discuss why DIY Security is your best option.
Customization and Selection
One of the main reasons DIY security is the safest route to go is that you have the options you need to get exactly you want without getting things you don’t need. Don’t want professional monitoring? That’s fine. You have the option to sign up for professional monitoring if you want and can turn it off if you don’t. Need outdoor security cameras but not indoor? You can customize your system to fit your exact needs. You also have the option to upgrade your system at any time.
Simple Installation
The name might fool you but DIY security systems by Reed’s Built-Ins offer the same installation convenience as those other guys. The team at Reed’s Built-Ins handles the tricky installation, without those extra charges racked up by the security monitoring companies. Ready to move? We’re here to help. We can help you take your security straight to your next place— no problem.
State-of-the-Art Equipment
Does the chirping smoke detector in the highest vaulted ceiling of your home keep you up at night? With a security system from Reed’s Built-Ins, you no longer need to worry about replacing batteries in smoke detectors every six months. Thanks to our state-of-the-art equipment our systems run off of one large central backup battery that is easily accessible and only needs to be changed every five to seven years.
Total Protection
Most people think of a security system consisting of a few door, window, and motion sensors that make a lot of noise or calls out when violated. We can build a basic system that does just that, but we like to take it a step further. An advanced system maximizes the capabilities of the panel to also monitor and protect other aspects of the home such as smoke/heat detectors, fire sprinklers, carbon monoxide, flood sensors, and freeze sensors.
Affordability
Have you been frustrated by one of those security companies with their high-pressure sales tactics and expensive monthly contracts? Don’t waste your time with those freebie systems that get you stuck in long-term contracts. At Reed’s Built-Ins, we offer DIY security systems that actually give you what you need. Forget about high monthly monitoring charges, company-run systems will end up costing you more money than you bargained for. The worst part? You don’t even own the system, they do.
When you buy a security system from Reed’s Built-Ins, you own the system. This means that we won’t come walking through your home, taking equipment off the wall if you stop your monitoring services. With every new system we sell, you get one year of free monitoring and you can continue the monitoring option after that with affordable pay-as-you-go service. You also have the option to simply add a dialer that calls your cell phone to alert you in the event of a problem. We don’t offer multi-year contracts, so you have the flexibility to do whatever you want.
Why Reed's Built-Ins?
The peace of mind that a home security system offers you and your family can be priceless. Whether it's protection from intruders and burglars or from environmental factors such as fire, carbon monoxide, or flooding, a security system by Reed’s Built-Ins can give you the comfort of knowing that you, your loved ones, and your property will be safe and secure.
