Staying
safe in today’s changing world requires a lot of different pieces working
together in a cohesive way. As experts in security, we are always exploring new
ways to help our clients secure their homes and businesses. Some of these come
in the form of new services we can offer, including suggesting and installing
new hardware options that operate entirely in parallel to your traditional security system
.
The
SkyBell line
of video doorbells
are a great example of the next step you can take
to protect your home, family, and property. For a one-time purchase fee you can
add a permanent, subscription-free layer to the security of your home, with
live monitoring and automatic motion-activated recording, powered continuously
by your existing doorbell’s wiring, accessible from anywhere on your
smartphone.
Unlike many camera systems,
the SkyBell Video Doorbell is also suited to Maine’s challenging climate. It’s
rate to operate from -40 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. It also has another
advantage over traditional video camera surveillance systems, it allows you to
engage in two way audio communication. Meaning that you can still talk to
anyone who you want to see that drops by while you’re away. This can be
especially helpful for talking to people who regularly have to access your home
when you’re busy such as house cleaners and pet sitters. Forget to leave a
note? No problem, just say hi and let them know in real time when they arrive.
With sleek, modern silver and
black models that can fit virtually any aesthetic while remaining visible
enough to act as a deterrent, SkyBell video doorbells are a great addition to
any home. Whether you’re concerned about packages being stolen from your porch,
want to be able to monitor your home when you’re away, or just know who’s at
the door before you answer it, the subscription-free business model SkyBell
boasts means that you can use the hardware we install for years to come and the
investment will repay its initial cost many times over its lifetime.
Adding to the long term value
of your SkyBell video doorbell is the
savings on homeowner’s insurance that comes with it
.
Just like with a traditional security system, many insurance companies will
discount your insurance when you have a SkyBell video doorbell, some companies
by as much as 5% thanks to the powerful deterrent these devices offer against
burglaries and casual theft. Added to its reasonable price and a lack of a
subscription fee, it is a no brainer investment in your peace of mind.
At On Pointe Security, we
believe that the main function of any security system should be to make your

devices. Reach
