TopConsumerReviews.com recently posted the best home security companies in Mississippi

Jackson, MS (PRWEB) April 02, 2013

Mississippi encounters nearly 90,000 property crimes each year and broken down that's every 1 in 33 people. The chances of being involved in a violent crime in Mississippi are also significant at 1 in 371 residents. The risk of a violent crime in Mississippi is significantly greater than the nationwide average. In Mississippi its important to not only safeguard the home but the people inside it. For those that own or even rent a home, they can significantly reduce the risk of a break in by installing strategically placed exterior lighting and dead bolts at each entrance. However, a properly installed home security system provides the greatest level of protection for a family's possessions and the people that live inside.

The team at TopConsumerReviews.com reviewed a large sampling of customer feedback and found that the greatest amount of homeowner satisfaction with home security system companies came from those that offered the latest technology, affordable pricing and a twenty four hour monitoring service. Wireless systems, with minimal installation damage, especially for apartment dwellers and renters, were identified as the most practical and user friendly.

TopConsumerReviews.com also identified that home security companies that were void of a heavy sales pitch reduced the stress during the home security buying process. Home security companies that offer customizable options to fit the size of any home or apartment provided the best protection. Customers that need to keep to a budget reported that home security companies with self installation systems were another plus in choosing the best home security system.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) March 25, 2013

Years ago, calling the local security dealer to install a home security system was enough to protect the family, but now with the latest advancements in the home security and home automation space, consumers could be leaving themselves at risk by not conducting thorough research before purchasing a security system to protect their home and family.

Tim Smythe, the senior editor for 6Webs.com states, 6Webs.com recognized there was a lack of home security systems reviews that offered detailed comparisons and made recommendations to consumers based on safety, reliability and customer service. Each year literally dozens of home security companies are reviewed and vetted by the team. Only the top providers make it on the 6Webs.com website and a few are awarded with the coveted Gold, Silver and Bronze awards. In order for a home security company to win an award they have to demonstrate responsive monitoring services, provide their customers with high-quality equipment and back it up with a warranty. These are just some of the aspects that are closely looked at when 6Webs.com performs their home security reviews.

The experts frequently update the FrontPoint Security review to ensure that consumers have all the information needed when buying a FrontPoint Security system.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 25, 2013

SecuritySystemReviews.com also provides a detailed company overview for FrontPoint Security, and discusses the key features that make the companys home security systems stand out from competition. Aside from being licensed in all 50 states and Canada, FrontPoint Security is known for their excellent customer service, which is proven consistent even after system sales and activation. SecuritySystemReviews.com reports that FrontPoint garnered an A rating with Better Business Bureau, as well as positive ratings with other third party online review entities such as Angies List and Yelp.

According to SecuritySystemReviews.com, FrontPoint home security system company maintains a strong relationship with General Electric home security division. The latter being the exclusive manufacturer of FrontPoints wireless home security equipment. Aside from a wide variety of alarm devices, home automation devices and security camera, FrontPoint also makes use of the Simon XT, a state-of-the art control panel that can manage up to 40 individual alarm sensors.

In the aspect of security monitoring, experts from SecuritySystemReviews.com regard FrontPoint Security as one of the best. The company implements a 100% cellular monitoring technology, considered to be the most reliable and safest method for monitoring alarm systems today.

At the moment the company still provides a standard two year manufacturer warranty on all equipment. However, it does offer a lifetime warranty on rechargeable backup battery used in the system. By industry standards the up-front cost for a FrontPoint Security system is quite reasonable. The costs are usually based on the number of equipment to be used. The company also offers varying discounts dependent on the length of contract. FrontPoint Security rewards its loyal customers by providing the best value and discounts to a three year contract.

FrontPoint Security Review Updated by Top Home Security System Experts – by SecuritySystemReviews.com

BestHomeSecurityCompanys.com (BHSC) launches a new consumer reviews platform specifically tailored for the Home Security and Monitoring Industry.

Pleasant Grove, UT (PRWEB) March 28, 2013

But big industry growth always comes with its fair share of consequences. Many alarm companies have had several lawsuits and complaints against them for bad service and bad marketing practices, specifically those with large door-to-door sales operations such as APX Alarm and Pinnacle Security to name just a few.

Its because of these combined forces at work BHSC has launched a new consumer review driven website that helps consumers collaborate to find the best home security companies who provide the best value and at the best price. Our goal is to create a platform where past and present customers can articulate the experiences they have had with a company, said PR Director Michael Bratton. We also want to create an environment where potential buyers can feel comfortable making their own decision using their own judgment based on the information weve helped deliver to them through this platform.

BestHomeSecurityCompanys.com not only acts as a consumer review platform, but they also rank and score companies based on their 9-point ranking criteria which includes:

Each data point is weighted with a percentage weight that affects a companys overall score.

The last part of the criteria is particularly interesting. According to PR Director Michael Bratton, companies receive fly-in visits where a review representative from BHSC actually performs an on-location visit and review. These visits help us gain much better insight into the validity and legitimacy of a company. We can get a feel of their operations, fulfillment, marketing practices etc. said Michael Bratton. We havent yet accomplished this for every home security company on our website, but we do have plans in place that will allow us to do on-location visits for the top 10 ranked companies on BHSC.

BestHomeSecurityCompanys.com has already reviewed over 20 of the top home security system providers in the industry as well as 10+ monitoring central stations.

BestHomeSecurityCompanys.com Launches New Home Security System Consumer Review Platform

A home security startup just raised $180,000 with an independent funding platform of its own. Professionals from Response Home Security commented on the successful fundraising.

(PRWEB) March 28, 2013

I think its time for the home security industry to have some changes, to become up to date, and Im glad that someone steps up to give it a try, even though I feel pity that its not us that step up. said one professional from responsehomesecurity.com, Nowadays you can enumerate lots of alarm companies very easily, but its hard to name ones that you are really happy with. The dissatisfaction is partly due to technology and partly due to service. I am eager to see what Scout is going to do to bring the industry to the next level be it a supreme service experience for customers or an innovative technology for alarm systems.

The team at Scout initially noted that home security is necessary to almost all families. However, most of the 17% of the families that have security are not getting satisfying services from their home security service providers. The Scout team interpreted the dissatisfaction as an enormous space for improvement, thats their initial idea for Scout to take home security to an up-to-date level. When it comes to realization of the idea, they need to do fundraising. Scout set up their own independent fundraising platform because the biggest startup fundraising platform Kickstarter rolled out some new rules this year that disqualified lots of companies, including Scout. The disqualification forces Scout to create innovative ways to raise fund to implement their ideas.

When I first visited their website, I thought it was a technology company, but they are not. The website style and design, in some ways, also convey their core value in business simple and creative. Their fundraising is creative, and I hope that their home security services are as creative as their fundraising. Even though they still have some ways to go to compete with established large home security companies, they already exhibit some eye-attracting features. This is a motivation for us to be more innovative as well, not just with the home security systems that we sell and install, but also with how we present ourselves, online and offline, said one professional from Response Home Security.
