Palmetto Security Tips to Prevent Burglary
Posted by Sam Samson on June 19th, 2013
There are several things to plan for a trip, but burglary prevention should be number one. Following the tips below and ensuring that you’re armed with SC security will help to keep your home safe.
Lock Up
While it’s a given that any homeowner would wish to lock up before leaving, it is amazing at the amount of people that don’t. While preparing for a trip or rushing out of the house in a hurry, the door and other areas that are normally locked up are often missed. Keeping a check-list of things to do for burglary prevention when leaving the house ensures that things will be locked up properly.
Your Eyes Away from Home
Inform your alarm company when you will be on vacation or at some other point when you are out of town. In addition, setting up surveillance systems around the house can safely monitor the goings-on while you’re away.
Signs that You’re Away
There are tell-tale signs that one is away from their residence when they’re on vacation or for other reasons: newspapers or other forms of delivery pile up, such as mail; an unkempt yard; and other things can pile up, such as snow. Have a neighbor, friend or family member come by to attend to things. The key is to make things look different from day to day. You want to make it seem like you’re at home. Setting a timer on lights is an excellent way to make it appear as if someone is home. Drawing the shades completely shut is another indication that you’re away. A safe way to make people think that you’re at home while preserving privacy is to draw the shades three-quarters of the way. You can leave shades open on the second floor where people can’t see inside.
Keep Your Travel Plans Low Key
Social network sites are a wonderful way to share with friends and family the details of a trip, but they’re also an excellent way for thieves to figure out when you’ll be out of town. Try to limit public knowledge of any updates you leave online. In addition, do not leave special messages on voicemail that you’ll be away from home.
Other Forms of Prevention
Out of sight does prove to be out of mind in regards to valuable. To further protect valuables, keep items, such as a large screen TV out of sight to prevent on-lookers from knowing what’s in your home. While it does not deter thieves from entering your house, it does not advertise what’s available.
At Palmetto Security, we take your SC security needs seriously. Top security is of vital importance, but so too how you present your house while you're away. Talk to trusted friends, neighbors or family members to ensure your home appears as though someone is home while you're away. This will give you great peace of mind while you're away and when you return.

NFPA Highlights Need for Better South Carolina Fire Protection
Posted by Sam Samson on May 14th, 2013
The ideal South Carolina fire protection solution has a smoke alarm at each level of the home, is monitored around the clock by a central station and has advanced features, such as carbon monoxide detection. Many South Carolina homeowners understand the value of a security system for their home but do not assign the same level of importance to fire prevention and detection. As demonstrated in the newest NFPA report, that can be a great mistake.
New NFPA Statistics
The newest fire statistics report by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) indicates that, on average, seven people die in the U.S. every day due to a fire in a residential space. In the vast majority of those deaths, the premises had no smoke alarm, a non-working smoke alarm or an unmonitored smoke alarm. A danger to traditional smoke alarms is that only the people in the home can hear them and respond to them.
NFPA Guidelines
According to the report, cooking is the most common cause of fire in the home, and the report advises never leaving an oven or other appliance on and unattended. Additionally, smoking, despite the decreasing number of smokers, is still the most common cause of fire-related deaths. The report advises establishing a safe designated smoking area outdoors for all residents and guests who smoke. It is also important to perform a comprehensive fire safety inspection inside and outside the home each month.
A Modern Solution
The most important step is to protect the home with a modern fire detection solution, preferably one integrated into the home security system. The benefit here is that you have enough smoke alarms to provide coverage throughout the home, and those alarms are monitored by trained response agents. Additionally, if a fault or error occurs in the system, the alarm company detects that and rectifies the situation.
First Alert Professional by Honeywell
Honeywell is the leading manufacturer of residential security systems in the U.S., and First Alert Professional is its flagship product. It provides comprehensive security for both residential and commercial clients, and it integrates intrusion detection and fire detection. It also has a wide range of optional advanced features including medical alert systems for individuals.
Total Connect by Honeywell
Total Connect is the other flagship product by Honeywell, and it allows for the integration of automation capabilities with the security system. From any Web-enabled device, the homeowner can activate fire alarms, lock/unlock doors and even access streams from the CCTV cameras. Total Connect is also programmable and interactive, which means that it will alert you when certain conditions aren’t met, such as the lights or AC left on.
Palmetto Security
If you are a homeowner who requires South Carolina fire protection, then you owe it to yourself to call Palmetto Security. Palmetto Security Systems was launched in 1999, and its parent company, Palmetto Electric Cooperative, has been serving South Carolina since 1940. Palmetto is a name you can trust and rely on, and Palmetto Security is a Honeywell-authorized dealer that can install both First Alert Professional and Total Connect.
Adding CO Detectors to SC Security in Schools
Posted by Sam Samson on May 6th, 2013
A recent incident in an Atlanta, Georgia school reveals the critical need for carbon monoxide detectors in all buildings with gas lines or gas appliances.
NBC News reported that nearly 50 people, including 43 students and six school personnel, were taken to a nearby hospital after exposure to carbon monoxide fumes at an Atlanta elementary school.
The Finch Elementary students and staff showed signs of carbon monoxide poisoning, according to local fire officials. An additional four adults from the school in southwest Atlanta made the trip to Grady hospital in order to get checked for symptoms associated with the gas.
The students and personnel at the school started to feel ill at about 8:30 am. Nobody collapsed from the carbon monoxide, but readings of carbon monoxide were as high as 1,700 parts per million, which is considered high, according to an Atlanta Fire Department rescue crew.
After Atlanta fire Battalion Chief Todd Edwards arrived at the school, he said that the carbon monoxide readings were higher than expected. The areas with the highest readings were found around the hallways and near heating units. “The entire building turned out to be saturated,” Edwards said.
Georgia state law doesn’t require carbon monoxide detectors in schools. The school had no carbon monoxide detectors located inside.
Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs after inhaling carbon monoxide. It’s a toxic gas that has no color, no taste and no smell. It’s nearly impossible to detect without equipment, such as a carbon monoxide detector. The gas is found in homes or buildings and is the product of burning carbon used as fuel, such as wood, coal, charcoal, diesel and gasoline.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause headaches, vertigo, confusion and even death. Exposure at 100 parts per million or more is considered detrimental to human health.
The incident at the Atlanta school underlines the importance of carbon monoxide detectors in schools. The Security Industry Association (SIA) is leading the way in calling for state legislatures to pass laws requiring the placement of carbon monoxide detectors.
“I really think the CO incident at the Atlanta school this last December really sparked a lot of attention among the states to begin taking this issue seriously,” said Elizabeth Hunger, a spokeswoman for SIA.
The work by SIA is paying off as 12 states have started to create laws that would mandate carbon dioxide detectors. As it stands today, only Connecticut and Maryland have laws requiring detectors.
The Atlanta City Council moved into action after the elementary school incident and approved an ordinance to require carbon monoxide detectors in schools. An investigation at the school revealed high levels of carbon monoxide near the school’s furnace. More than 500 students were evacuated from the school during the incident. Forty-four students and 10 adults were hospitalized for treatment. Carbon monoxide is one of the leading causes of accidental poisoning in the nation, according to the American Medical Association.
Palmetto Security, which provides building security in South Carolina, including equipment to detect carbon monoxide leaks, can inspect homes and buildings and recommend its SC security solutions. The company offers SC security upgrades that will ensure the best equipment to do the job right. Palmetto Security has been providing security in South Carolina for many years and can provide a custom system to fit any security needs.
Honeywell Lynx Plus for SC Security
Posted by Sam Samson on April 23rd, 2013
Palmetto Security, a leader in the installation of South Carolina security systems, is proud to offer the Honeywell LYNX Plus system to our customers.
With our many popular tourist and vacation spots here in coastal South Carolina, security systems are one of the best pieces of insurance you can buy for your primary home or a vacation or rental property. And because the security of your family is priceless, whether you are at home or on vacation, a home security system makes a good investment. While the idea of a connected or monitored security system is not new, the means we use to connect have changed.
With the explosion of the mobile phone, many households have done away with their traditional "land line" or POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) services, and now rely solely on the coverage of their cell phones. In years past, when it came to home security options, this would leave the owners tied to unnecessary bills for the telephone company. Now, with the Honeywell LYNX Plus system, you can enjoy all of the peace of mind and useful features of a land line-connected security system through the same type of network that drives your cell phone – the GSM (or Global System for Mobile communications) networks. That is only one option for connecting! The panel is also capable of connecting to other types of networks, including VoIP and Ethernet, giving you several options.
The LYNX Plus, a favorite system in the SC security world, includes all the standard features of a typical systems such as burglary protection through an audible siren, but it also offers a number of convenience features for our more mobile world. The central control panel offers the ability for you to leave voice messages for others coming into the home. The system is equipped with a “Follow Me” announcement feature, which makes it capable of contacting you at a number you choose to inform you of any status or condition updates – an ideal function for a vacation home, rental property, or for those are away from home frequently. The system can also be set up with several alternative user codes, which can be convenient for those with visitors, service calls, babysitters or infrequent guests. This popular system also offers remote control phone features, which allow the user to send commands from their cell phone!
Monitoring several different devices within the house is not a limitation of this system, as it can handle up to 40 remote wireless zones. With the use of some of Honeywell’s X10 brand of sensors, you can configure remote lighting, carbon monoxide detectors, flood detectors, smoke and fire detectors, door or window monitors, and motion detectors. In the event that an alarm or an alert is sounded while you are in the home, the LYNX Plus system allows for direct person-to-person communication with your monitoring service – right through the panel!
While there are seemingly endless options in SC for security systems, you can be sure that a LYNX Plus system installed by Palmetto Security is one of the safest choices you can make. Please visit us at www.palmettosecurity.org for more information.
SC Fire Protection as Season Heats Up
Posted by Sam Samson on April 18th, 2013
With warmer temperatures and less rainfall comes the increased likelihood of residential fires. According to statistics compiled by the U.S. Fire Administration, 84 percent of all fire-related deaths that happen each year occur in the home. So fire season is cause for concern.Families in South Carolina need to be aware of the dangers as well as the preventative measures that can save their lives.
Smoke Alarms
The first line of defense in SC fire protection is a smoke alarm, but one is not enough. Homes should have alarms at least at each level of the home, and it’s a good idea to have one in each sleeping area. Remember, with standard smoke alarms, the person has to hear the alarm and respond to it. Test the alarms monthly, and change the batteries out twice a year regardless of battery level. Teach the children, and make smoke alarm maintenance a family event.
An Integrated System
A shortcoming of standard fire alarms is that you do have to hear them and react to them. The better option for fire alarms in South Carolina
is those that are part of an integrated home security system. The main benefit of such a system is that a central station monitors it. They will receive the smoke alarm notification as well and will respond to it on your behalf.
Fire Extinguishers
Another important aspect of SC fire protection is fire extinguishers. You should have one in the kitchen, near the furnace, in the garage and near the bedrooms. Ensure that everyone in the family knows how to operate the extinguisher, including young children, and be sure to maintain and test all extinguishers in the home during your monthly and semiannual checkups.
Other Important Factors
Review the interior and exterior of your home for flammables and other potential problems. Keep matches, lighters and candles in a safe place, and don’t allow grease to build up on appliances. If a kitchen or other small fire does occur, suffocate it. Avoid over-taxing your electrical system. If you’re experiencing circuits breaking, call a professional, and if you live in an old house, it’s a good idea to call a professional regardless and have him review the system and perhaps bring it up to code.
Escaping a Fire
Establish an escape plan, and practice it with the family. Make sure young children know how to hide and how to go to firefighters on their own. Stop, drop and roll and crawling beneath the smoke are simple concepts that do save lives. For ideal safety, keep doors shut while sleeping and have children sleep in fire-retardant clothing. Call the emergency responders from a neighbor’s home.
Palmetto Security Systems
For optimal fire safety, you need fire alarms in your South Carolina home. Palmetto Security System can help. Palmetto Security is the premier South Carolina based security company, a Honeywell authorized a dealer, and a business that has earned an impeccable reputation for customer service and attention to detail.

Total Connect Security Systems in SC
Posted by Sam Samson on March 22nd, 2013
Honeywell Total Connect 2.0 is the most sophisticated security system on the market, and it is the top choice for home security in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Total Connect is a customizable, full-featured security system that is integrated, interactive and controllable remotely.
Integration
Integration means that every component of the system is connected to each other, the call center network, the home network and the Internet. The interconnectivity allows for a level of service and performance that simply was not possible in traditional home security systems. It also prevents failure through redundancy and by allowing detection of problems before they manifest fully.
Remote Control
Remote access means that the homeowner can access the complete home security system from any Internet-connected device, such as smartphones, tablets and laptops. Using this remote control, the user can monitor system status, disable and enable alarms, access surveillance cameras and adjust thermostats and lighting directly or through the programming.
Interactivity
Remote control allows for one-way access, but the Total Connect system is interactive, which means two-way communication. Through a notification system, the security system can send the homeowner status updates and alarms via email or text message. The system also has a filtering mechanism, which allows the homeowner to dictate precisely what kind of information they receive.
Burglar Alarms
A burglar alarm is the central component of all security systems in SC. They monitor for unauthorized access to entrances, including doors and windows. When
access is detected, the system contacts the call center, which can then contract local law enforcement as well as the homeowner.
Fire and CO Alarms
Fire and CO alarms are another integral aspect of the modern security system. The great benefit of a connected fire or CO alarm is that they are redundant, regularly serviced and ensured to operate when needed. In addition, even if the family sleeps through the alarm or cannot respond to it, the call center will always contact emergency services immediately.
Thermostat Control
The thermostat control allows the homeowner to manipulate the central thermostat or any of the subunits individually. This feature is particularly convenient when the homeowner forgets to adjust it before leaving or when unexpected weather is incoming.
Lighting Control
This control allows the homeowner to adjust any lights that are connected to the system, and it is possible to connect every light in the home this way.Like with the thermostat control, the homeowner can adjust individual lights or entire sections, and it is possible to adjust the automation system.
Surveillance Cameras
One of the most powerful features of Total Connect 2.0 is the ability to watch live feeds of all exterior and interior surveillance cameras connected to the system. This is a preferred feature of home security in Hilton Head because many working parents use it as a tool to monitor their children.
Palmetto Security
Palmetto Security is the leading provider of security systems in SC, and it is an authorized dealer and installer of the Honeywell Total Connect 2.0 system. Palmetto has been serving Hilton Head and its surrounding areas since 1940 and has an unparalleled commitment to customer service.www.palmettosecurity.org
Carbon Monoxide Protection Tips for South Carolina
Posted by Sam Samson on March 19th, 2013
Carbon monoxide is an incredibly dangerous gas that could permeate your home and make you extremely ill. Carbon monoxide (CO) is odorless and invisible, which means that most people can’t detect that it’s in their homes until they are already suffering from the effects of the gas. If you use gas appliances, there will always be a trace amount of CO in the air – in a safe amount. But in the cold winter months, when our heating appliances and fireplaces are used more frequently, the chances of toxic amounts of CO in the air you breathe increases. However, you can prevent carbon monoxide buildup in your home during the winter by following some key tips.
Vehicles
It’s not uncommon for people to want to warm their cars up before leaving in winter. The cold temperatures not only make the interior chilly, but it also makes the vehicle difficult to start. Starting your car before getting ready seems like a good way to warm up the inside of your vehicle and ensure that it is running before you leave, right?
Warming up your car in winter creates a dangerous carbon monoxide risk. Some people warm up their car in an enclosed garage to completely avoid the cold conditions outside. If you warm up your car in an enclosed garage, the exhaust has no means of ventilation. The exhaust will become trapped in the garage, allowing the garage to be filled up with carbon monoxide.
Even if you warm up your car outside, ensure that the exhaust pipe is clear and seems functional to ensure that the exhaust doesn’t get backed up and trapped within your car. During a recent blizzard in the northeast, several people were killed by CO poisoning just by sitting inside their cars for heat when the tailpipe was blocked by snow. The CO had nowhere to go but back into the car.
Being Responsible with Heaters, Fireplaces and Appliances
Heaters and fireplaces can fill up a house with carbon monoxide if they don’t have proper ventilation. In the frigid winter, hardly anyone opens their windows. Most people want to keep the warmth in and cold out during winter. Fireplaces usually have chimneys, but they can easily be clogged with soot and debris, and a flammable and dangerous buildup of creosote. Ensure that your chimney is cleaned on a regular basis to allow for proper ventilation. If you need to use a regular heater in winter, ensure that there is some form of ventilation available and open. Regularly check your ventilation system for clogs and obstructions.
In addition, never use stoves or grills to heat up your house. It may seem tempting in serious conditions like power outages, but it creates a dangerous carbon monoxide risk as well as a fire risk.
How to Detect Carbon Monoxide
Even if you follow these tips, it’s still possible for carbon monoxide to leak into your home. Since it’s invisible and odorless, how do you know? You can detect carbon monoxide in your home with a carbon monoxide detector. Palmetto Security can provide you with a home alarm in Hampton SC that includes monitoring for carbon monoxide. We realize that proper home protection in South Carolina is more than being safe from dangerous people. It’s also about being safe from hazards like CO. Our security systems are designed to detect all traces of carbon monoxide. When detected, you and your family will be immediately alerted and the proper authorities sent to your home to get you to a safe area.
Having a home alarm in Hampton SC for carbon monoxide has saved many lives, and it could save you and your family too. With Palmetto Security providing the best in home protection in South Carolina against carbon monoxide, you don’t have to fall victim to the silent killer.

Home Security Systems for Hilton Head Vacation Homes
Posted by Sam Samson on February 22nd, 2013
Vacation homes are great places to relax and have fun. There’s nothing quite like having your own home away from home that is purely meant as a spot to enjoy some peace, quiet and fun. A popular place for vacation homes is in Hilton Head, South Carolina. With plenty of activities to partake in and beautiful views, Hilton Head is a fun and relaxing spot to buy a second home. However, the fun and relaxation of your vacation on the beautiful island may make you think there’s nothing to worry about in regards to home.
Vacation homes are prime targets for burglars. Most criminals assume that people with vacation homes have a decent amount of money and items worth stealing. You worked hard to get that house, so it’s a good idea to protect your home and assets with a home security system.
One of the main reasons criminals are so attracted to vacation homes is because they’re usually vacant in the off-season, especially winter. Although many people have someone check up on their main home when they’re away, the same isn’t necessarily not true of their vacation residence. If you have a second home in Hilton Head, and haven’t put thought into its security, you should look into a 24 hour monitoring service by a home security company that can ensure your vacation home is safe all year round.
Palmetto Security Systems offer some of the best home protection in South Carolina. Not only do we provide 24 hour protection and monitoring of your residence, but we also offer several home protection services to ensure that it is as safe as possible all year round.
Having good home protection in South Carolina is about more than protection from burglars. You also have to be diligent against other threats such as fire, carbon monoxide and floods. You may not believe these threats are present when there is no one inhabiting the home, but this is not true at all. Even the smallest spark could start a house fire. Carbon monoxide can build up in a vacant home just as easily as an inhabited home. Pipes can freeze and crack in the winter, causing water damage and flooding. Palmetto Security Systems can detect any of these issues in the home, and notify you and the proper emergency services.
They also provide customers with the ability to easily check on things at the house without having to be there in person. Surveillance cameras set up with the system can easily be accessed privately from your computer. Anytime that you want to check up on your vacation home, all you need to do is connect to the service on your computer or smartphone and watch the camera footage.
To get the best home security systems in Hilton Head SC, consider using Palmetto Security Systems. Whether you’re relaxing at your vacation house, or spending time at your main home, Palmetto Security Systems can keep you and your property safe and secure.
The Benefits of Medical Security Systems
Posted by Sam Samson on February 5th, 2013
If you have an elderly loved one who lives on his or her own, then you may find that you are often worried about their wellbeing. Perhaps you are concerned that he or she may have a difficult time getting around the house, or that he or she will fall at home and have no way of getting up or calling for help. After all, this is a common occurrence in senior citizens who live alone, and these kinds of accidents around the house can lead to serious injury.
While you may be thinking that your only viable option when it comes to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of your loved one is to place him or her in a nursing home, this does not have to be the case. In fact, your loved one can continue to live in the privacy of his or her own home without ever having to be “alone.” Having a medical security system installed means help is always nearby and easily accessible.
Medical security systems are a great way to protect your loved one while still remaining independent. These systems work with a portable device that allows him or her to call for help if needed. For example, if a slip or fall occurs in the home and your loved one is unable to get up, a simple push of a button on the portable device will issue a call for help from local authorities. This way, he or she can get the assistance that is needed as soon as possible.
So if you think that this is something you are interested in for a family member or elderly loved one, then now would be a great time to look into security firms in Beaufort SC that offer these services. One reliable security company that you can count on to provide medical security systems is Palmetto Security. Palmetto has been servicing the area since 1999 and has built a great reputation for their security and life safety services. Furthermore, they offer competitive pricing and flexible payments for those who are looking to get such services installed on a budget.

Carolina Security Protection Keeps Everyone Safe
Posted by Sam Samson on November 28th, 2012
The home protection South Carolina homeowners need is just a few clicks or a phone call away. Everyone wants to enjoy that special place we call home without the worry of possible hazards or emergencies that could cause injury or stress. Having a first alert professional security system installed is one of the best ways to know that everyone you love is protected.
It's great to rely on a professional safety expert whether you want to have protection from things like carbon monoxide or from combustible gases that could cause a potential explosion or a home fire. Even if you'd like to know that the temperature at every place in the home is just right, it's nice to know that you can rely on Palmetto Security for all of your SC security early warning needs. Being warned of danger in a timely way is the first step to getting everyone out of the home for their safety.
Homeowners may not often think about things like the temperature of their home. Thinking about it becomes crucial if you have things like a wine cellar, a computer room with very expensive equipment that cannot be allowed to overheat or precious pets that you want to protect from an environment that is too hot. It is also very important to know if the home temperature is too cold. This becomes crucial if homeowners must be away for any length of time during the cold of winter, as it could lead to burst pipes and floods if left undetected.
Receiving an alert that something is wrong with the home temperature allows the homeowner to call a professional out to the home to repair the heating or cooling system before damage occurs. This does wonders for a homeowner’s peace of mind!
Another first alert professional security system that can be extremely important for homeowners to have in place is a water level alarm. This lets the homeowner know if plumbing is leaking or has already leaked and begun to flood. It provides this extra important early warning so homeowners can be notified if rainwater has come into the home, especially into a basement, or if water pipes have burst.
Giving residents and everyone in the home the opportunity to escape danger before it can cause injury is a crucial part of providing an excellent first alert professional security system to South Carolina residents. Knowledge that a home is safe is among the first things a homeowner wishes to give to loved ones when they begin to look for high quality SC security. The essential home protection South Carolina residents need is as close as their telephone or computer.
Providing the most up-to-date SC security protection is what Palmetto Security does best. We have earned a reputation for being a top-notch provider of the most outstanding home security systems. The number one choice in home protection South Carolina residents need most is Palmetto Security in South Carolina. Why not experience what true peace of mind feels like when you know your home is protected, call today!
4 Tips That Will Keep You Safe For The Holidays
Posted by Sam Samson on November 26th, 2012
The holidays are a joyous time for families. There is the coming together of loved ones from around the nation and the world. There are friendships being renewed and love being reignited. The spirit of Christmas pushes normal Americans to go beyond in their own lives. Yet, there is also a darker side to the happy times. Family homes can still be burglarized and routine accidents can catch a house on fire. Follow these Carolina burglar and fire tips from Palmetto Security to help keep everyone safe for the holidays.
Make sure your fire alarms work
To help keep every person safe with Palmetto’s South Carolina Fire protection, the alarms in a house must work. These loud devices will wake even the hardest sleeper up, allowing a family to escape. Every fire alarm needs to be regularly checked, with the batteries replaced so they don’t go dead. Also, make sure to check your SC security alarms as well. These systems aren’t the same as an easy to use fire alarm, but they still need to be maintained. Your security consultant can help you with this maintenance. Each of Palmetto's Carolina burglar and fire alarm is a blessing to have during the holidays. Make sure your devices are working and up to par.
Don’t overload the fireplace
During the holidays, make sure to hone your fire protection skills. Your fireplace is a great tool to help keep your family warm on those cold winter nights, and creates a nice atmosphere as well. It should never be used to dispose of post-Christmas items like your discarded wrapping paper. A modern fireplace isn't made for such a large amount of debris. A fireplace that is burning the old Christmas debris can flare out of control and send sparks in to the house. Just use normal logs for your fireplace, and cover it with the screen to help keep your home safe from accidents.
Keep presents hidden from the street
The best way to keep your SC security skills active is to promote good habits. During the holidays, this means adopting good Carolina burglar and fire habits. Always keep any presents hidden from street view. Presents do look great around a tree, but remember that burglars are looking for a lapse in SC security habits. You want to hide the presents from your kids and family anyway, so just wait until the normal time of present opening to bring the gifts out. If your family loves to have these presents underneath the tree, try to position the tree so that your presents can’t be viewed from the street, or be sure to close your blinds or curtains in the evenings so no one can see in from the outside.
Take good care of the Christmas tree
Decorating a real tree can help bring the family together. However, keep in mind that this freshly cut tree is often a bane for South Carolina's fire protection. Although not always popular, the best idea is go buy a fake Christmas tree to decorate every year. These trees will not turn brittle and dry if left unattended. If there is a fresh tree in the house, remember to keep the tree watered throughout the holiday season. Always use the correct decorations as well. Candles may look good on a tree, but they are also a fire hazard. Any lights that are used must be indoor lights made for a tree. Look for light strings with LED bulbs and UL on the bale. Never place your tree near any kind of heat source.

Contact A First Alert Professional For Premier Security Systems
Posted by Sam Samson on November 15th, 2012
Home protection and security of the home and family is foremost in the minds of all thoughtful homeowners. Whether the concern is about break-in crimes, fire, water or flood damage, or about heating or air conditioning systems failing while the family is not at home, families are wise to protect their home and family by contacting a trusted Carolina security professional. A price simply cannot be put on the peace of mind that comes from having a great professional security system in place.

When many homeowners contact their Carolina security professional, their primary concern is often fire and home burglary systems. What homeowners sometimes overlook are the environmental systems that are also well served by having a good alarm warning system in place. One important environmental alarm system is water level alarms, which let the homeowner know about any flooding in the home, in the basement or any other area of the home.
Other great environmental systems to have in place include temperature systems that protect pets, people and property. These systems include high temperature alarms that let the homeowner know if the air conditioning system in the home is experiencing failure. This is especially important when the homeowner is out of the home. The safety of beloved family pets can be at risk if air conditioning breaks down!
A premier First Alert professional security company like Palmetto Security Systems can also alert a homeowner if the temperature in the home is too low. This brings peace of mind to snow-birds that often leave their homes in the winter months. It can let them know if there has been a failure of the home heating system, and someone can be called to repair the heating system before damage occurs to the home.
Those with a good Honeywell South Carolina system can rest assured that their home is safe, whether the home is occupied or not. When residents are there especially, a high-quality carbon monoxide alarm system allows everyone to get out of the home quickly if deadly carbon monoxide is present. Since carbon monoxide is odorless, it becomes even more dangerous when residents don't know that the carbon monoxide level has gone up.
Your Carolina security professional is just a phone call away and the peace of mind that comes with having a first alert professional system in the home is beyond measure. Keeping the home safe along with keeping every person in the home protected is the first security priority of every thoughtful homeowner.

Alarms a necessity for homes in SC
Posted by Sam Samson on November 7th, 2012
Many people still seem reluctant to get security systems or alarm systems for their homes. Getting alarm systems from alarm companies in Bluffton SC is the best decision any home owner or renter could make. House alarms and/or home security systems are so vital in the effort to stop homes being accessible to burglars or criminals. By having a system installed by alarm companies Bluffton SC, you will be able to give yourself and your family the peace of mind that your house is safe. Alarm systems have become so advanced that there are a myriad of security features you will be getting when you get service from Palmetto Securities in Bluffton SC.
Alarm systems from Palmetto Securities alarm companies Bluffton SC come with a main hub that connects all the alarms in the house to one central unit. This unit can be turned on or off whenever the residents desire. If you are about to go to sleep, it might be a good time to set the alarm. Some alarms still require setting at the unit, but there are also alarm systems that can be set remotely via a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The alarm systems provided by alarm companies in Bluffton SC will detect whenever someone tries to open a window or door from the outside in your house. That way, once everything is locked, no one will be able to get in without the alarm going off.
There are also alarm systems available from alarm companies Bluffton SC that can detect when there is movement in certain rooms of the house.

When an alarm system goes off, they will give you a call on the prearranged number you provided. Chances are they will ask you for some kind of code, so that they know you are okay and not under duress. If the alarm was triggered by mistake, you can let them know. Otherwise, they will immediately dispatch a call to 911 and/or an ambulance and you can get the assistance necessary. These alarm systems are monitored 24/7, so you can be sure that you will always be protected.
Alarm systems are a lot less expensive than they used to be, making it even more inexcusable for any house or business to not be protected by one.

You can even get advanced features such as video cameras throughout the house, with remote monitoring, if you should need it.

Boost Your Beaufort Home Security
Posted by Sam Samson on November 6th, 2012
Criminals can break into your house at any moment. They never stop scheming so it's best to be one step ahead of them. Whether the door is locked or unlocked, the window is open or closed and valuables are in plain sight or tucked away burglars are ready to make their move. Keep burglars away and purchase an alarm. The security systems Beaufort SC has to offer include security for home and businesses. Services like Lynx Touch 5100 and Total Connect provide a central location to monitor the home or business wirelessly inside, outside and with mobile devices. Here are some of the things burglars target and how we protect it.
Deadbolts, high security locks and metal box strikes can only do so much to guard the door. All doors in the home and the garage need something extra to make any home or business feel more secure. First alert home security systems provide an extra layer of protection for the door. Businesses and homes can enjoy tailored security that features monitoring via surveillance video, intercom systems and security lights. Businesses can also enjoy having access to their security system. They will know who enters and exits so they can pinpoint who was here at what time. Homes have a similar feature called 'home control.' While that keeps criminals out who will protect you while you're inside. There are fire alarms, fire safety features, water-flood-temperature sensors and carbon-monoxide detectors available through security systems Beaufort SC.
Windows, window air conditioners and other glass areas are vulnerable to burglary. They are the first things burglars go after when they want to enter a home. Like the door, windows need home or business security as well. Some people install locks or add bars on the windows. That does provide protection but first alert home security systems go a step farther. Motion sensors, security lights and surveillance cameras are aimed for criminals who dare enter the home or business using the window. Being this protected does raise concerns about how to get out in case of danger from the inside. Alarms for fire, carbon monoxide and floods will warn families and employees of the danger so they can act quickly.
Landscaping around the yard and fences should provide a barrier for homes and businesses. This should make breaking in difficult, but sometimes what is safe for you is also safe for criminals because they can hide in the area. Trim tree branches near the fence and the home. Add gravel beds to hear noise on the outside. Finally, add security systems Beaufort SC gate/entry.The monitoring system can guard the home from the outside. It will make noise and turn on lights to scare them away. Be sure to add those systems to blind spots.
Intruders will do whatever it takes to get inside the house. Don't give them a chance to win. Let first alert home security systems guard your house at all times when you can't. Medical alerts for seniors, other medical-personal safety systems, asset protection, central vacuums and environmental alarms for travel are four reasons why this security system is the best. Even when the power goes out we are still on. Along with our free evaluation to the consumer, there's no reason not to give us a try.
Palmetto Security Systems – First Alert Professionals
Posted by Sam Samson on November 5th, 2012
Desperate economic times produce desperate citizens who might do things they would not normally do. Homeowners seldom think of the worst that can happen, such as home invasion, burglary, rape, or even loss of life. They should, however, consider the possibilities and take appropriate steps to protect themselves. Business owners are not immune, either. They, too, should take precautions to protect their livelihoods the same way as homeowners protect their domiciles and families.
Palmetto Electric Cooperative has been serving South Carolina since 1940 and has specialized in security systems since 1999 as Palmetto Security Systems. The South Carolina Alarm Association recognizes Palmetto for its excellence in customer service and alarm security. The core of Palmetto's stellar security record is its slate of Honeywell First Alert systems. Palmetto stands by these systems since a First Alert professional security system is the easiest, most cost-effective way to secure your home or business. Palmetto offers twenty-four hour monitoring seven days a week. If something occurs, Palmetto will automatically contact the customer by phone through alarm relay monitoring. This is the fastest way to protect your home or business from criminal activity. Customers will have a password to provide when the monitoring station calls. If no one answers or provides the correct password, the monitoring station immediately dispatches the authorities. Alarm relay monitoring strengthens a customer's peace of mind.
Monitoring the property is only half the battle, however. A security access system provides the necessary control on the property. Security access systems include keypads, voice recognition software, heat and motion sensors, or even panic rooms and sliding gates. This applies equally to a home or business. One cannot be everywhere at once. A Palmetto security access system and courteous, vigilant monitoring personnel are there to ease any concern or resolve any security concern.
Some Examples of How Palmetto Best Serves its Customers
1) A customer is on vacation and wants to protect the family home. A criminal attempts to break in and violates the First Alert professional security system perimeter. The thief flees as the alarm relay monitoring system dispatches the police since he or she could not disarm the internal keypad. 2) A customer's family is at home sleeping when a criminal breaks the door down and threatens the family’s lives. In addition to the automatic alarm, a panic room offers the family additional security. Activating a panic situation summons the authorities immediately without a phone call. 3) After business hours, a gang of thieves attempt to gain access to a local electronics store. Working together, they gain access to the store. The sliding gate catches them suddenly as the motion sensor detects them. Palmetto recommends a combination of systems for best security. Assemble a top-of-the-line First Alert perimeter, security access system, and relay monitoring station. This builds a formidable security screen to protect that which is most essential: one's family, home, and livelihood. Customer safety is Palmetto's driving passion.
