Protection 1: Home Security for Any Lifestyle

Protection 1 can be very generous not just with the quality of their equipment, but the quantity too. They are rated A+ by the BBB as an accredited business.

Four packages are available from Protection 1 with each successive deal having more exclusive features than the last. Let's go over these deals and explain their features.

Comparing Protection 1's Packages

Four packages are available from Protection 1 with each successive deal having more exclusive features than the last.

Secure

This basic home security deal features 24/7 monitoring, intrusion protection, environmental and life safety, and monitored fire and carbon monoxide protection. Secure is far from basic in terms of the protection it provides your home. It is centered around monitoring and blocking of intrusions.

24/7 Monitoring: A shared feature by all the packages, Protection 1 is known for its solid monitoring service operated by five centers scattered across the nation. You never have to feel worried that your home is left unexamined, let alone unexamined by professional agents. What is monitored, in particular - apart from break-ins and the like - are fire and monoxide levels, extreme fluctuations in temperature, and floods.

In 2013, victims of burglary suffered an average of $2,322 per offense. With this level of professionalism and skill, you won't have to worry about losing your precious belongings or risking your loved one's well-being against forcible entries from home invaders.

Intrusion protection features encompass a keypad, three door contacts, a motion detector, window stickers, and a yard sign - all of which are essential for optimal home safety. With your front door armed, a yard sign, and window stickers that make mischievous minds think twice, you have at your disposal a layer of protection surrounding the outside of your home and deterring any impending dangers that might befall your home.

Environmental & Life Safety: This feature combines fire and flood sensors and alerts on-call monitoring agents of any damage suffered by the home and notifies you in time before while the situation can still be contained. Apart from environmental incidents, Secure includes a panic pendant for seniors and handicapped persons. With one push of the button, a person sends a signal to the monitoring center to send an emergency van right away. 

Monitored Fire & Carbon Monoxide Protection (additional charges may apply): An important part of any home security system is a fire and carbon monoxide alarm. Carbon monoxide is unnoticeable by our senses due to it being odorless, tasteless, and colorless, hence, a sensor is in place to detect this poisonous gas. A fire sensor is included in this set-up which and first responders will be sent to a home when heat levels have become too high.

Secure +

Comprising all of Secure's four features, Secure + adds two more important components of home safety - a cellular system and two-way voice.

Cellular Communication: The type of connection used in a security system can be a form of safety in itself. A hardwired connection, for example, is vulnerable to being cut by a burglar but it is more reliable and durable. A wireless connection, on the other hand, cannot render your home unprotected as trespassers won't have any lines to cut. This is definitely the most beneficial option as long as your home resides in an area with good cell reception.

Two-Way Voice: With a two-way voice system, your control panel enables you to speak directly with a monitoring agent during various emergency situations. In case your phone runs out of battery and you can't enter your home, or when you want to shave valuable seconds off calling for help, having a two-way voice system is a worthwhile investment.

Smart Control

The most value-per-dollar out of the bunch is definitely Smart Control. It combines Secure and Secure +'s features and adds three more to make the system as a whole behave more intelligently than its predecessors. The reason for this is an added membrane of motion detection, remote access and control, and the customization options made possible by home automation.

Camera Integrated Motion Detector: This state-of-the-art device is sensitive to motion and will take a snapshot of any suspicious activity that has taken place and send it to your phone or email. You can also take a peek at any time from any place using any web-enable device you have.

Web & Mobile Control: Instead of just having the control over your system accessible only through the control panel, now you can arm or disarm the system remotely with your phone, tablet, or computer.

Energy & Home Automation (additional charges may apply): Enabled by the previous feature, you can utilize remote access and control to monitor energy levels in your home, and operate your lighting, locks, thermostat, and other home appliances. Making your home more energy-efficient has never been this easy. Expect a drop-off in gas and electric now that you have all the major energy spenders on one display, all of which are operable with the swipe of a finger. More beneficial still is the fact that you can adjust the thermostat on your way home and have it already be comfortable.

The secret to home automation's protective reasoning is a home's lighting. There is nothing more uncomfortable to a burglar than light since it could mean the difference between getting caught and getting away with murder. Moreover, a lit-up house tells a burglar that it isn't vacant. This simple scare tactic adds a measure of security against trespassers while you're away on vacation or a business trip, and your peace of mind assured.

Video

Video Surveillance: One of Protection 1's main strengths is their top-notch camera that enables you to access it wherever you are. You can choose the type of camera you need from indoor to outdoor, to pan & tilt - all of which are wirelessly secured in place. As an added bonus, if you sign up with Protection 1's Video plan, you will be given free storage space on their secure server. This will be crucial in the event of a break-in when law enforcement would need a visual description of the suspect.

Protection 1's Special Offers

Protection 1's new and current customers can benefit from a few perks. These perks include "Refer a Friend $50 Bonus",  a homeowner's insurance discount, deductible protection, and free professional installation.

Current Deal: A free professional installation of $99.00 in value only applies to customers that sign an agreement of 36 months with Protection 1 if that agreement involves $34.99 to be paid monthly. As you can see above, this applies to the last three home security packages: Secure +, Smart Control, and Video.

Homeowners Insurance Discount: Not all, but some insurance companies give homeowners considerable discounts when their property is monitored. Protection 1's quality service gives lenders incentive to grant discounts for many mortgagors. It's not always a sure thing, but a home security system is a worthwhile investment with or without a discount.

Deductible Protection: Although not a form of insurance, Protection 1's deductible protection covers a homeowner with credit of up to $1,000 only in the event of a theft occurring on a property with an active Protection 1 monitoring plan and equipment installed.

Refer a Friend $50 Bonus: For every new customer who signs a residential contract with Protection 1, referral credit of $50 will be added to the responsible current customer's account.
