Is Your Home Secure For The Holidays?

The holidays are a time filled with family, happiness and celebration. Along with such wonderful times also come some dangers to keep an eye on. During this time many people become careless and vulnerable to theft and other crimes. Don’t let all the holiday excitement put you or your home in danger.

The holidays are a hot time for criminals to commit home robberies because of the increased cash flow that is around. Robbers tend to take items that are easy to carry and can easily be concealed such as laptops, electronics, jewelry and cash. Though the risk of being a victim of burglary is always there, homeowners can take certain measures to protect their house and belongings.

The best way to protect your home is to invest in a good home surveillance system. Make sure that before you go away for the holidays that your home security cameras are all working properly to ensure that you are getting the most protection. A properly installed surveillance system can monitor the perimeter of your property and mostly importantly the cameras can monitor the important entry points of your home to prevent theft. We also suggest placing a few cameras to watch windows and doors that might be obstructed by trees or large bushes. Also keep in mind the tips below to further the safety of your home and belongings.

  • Set your lights on a timer, if you do not have a timer leave lights on, especially outdoor lights.
  • Keep the blinds closed, especially when traveling so would-be crooks cannot see that you have.
  • A simple, but sometimes forgotten tip, always keep your doors and windows locked!
  • And lastly, with the increase in technology and social media sharing sites—NEVER post that you will be gone. This makes it extremely easy for criminals to find the perfect targets.

    I have had numerous projects done by STI around the Tampa and Orlando areas. They have installed cameras, NVRs, conduit, wiring, and access control system. Jamie, Josh, and CJ are highly professional and knowledgeable installers. Luis is great at finding the right solution at a fair price.If you are looking for Security and Surveillance equipment and a company that stands behind their work, you should give STI a call.

    Luis and his installation crew did an excellent job installing the new camera system at Lake Carlton Arms Lutz, Florida. They followed through with everything promised and were timely and courteous. The crew was very professional and provided all the necessary training to get us up and running. We look forward to their continued support and partnership. I would highly recommend them for your surveillance needs.

    We have worked with this company year after year and they keep exceeding our expectations! Installing wiring to our specifications and working with our time restraints. The team of Jaime, Johnny, Sean and CJ are some of the most professional that Luis has to work with. I highly recommend this company.

    Our company put in a complete 9 camera security system more than a year ago with 2 big screens, recording DVD, etc. . Surveillance Tech was fast, efficient and delivered great value. We have had one service call for a failure of the slave screen (our stupid fault--a house keeper turned off the switch--very embarrassing but Luis didn't even charge us for sending out a tech to push a button. He should have.) All and all, a great company. As a result, they are busy so be patient. They are always out in the field, actually working.

    Great Company to work with. The cameras and DVR's they installed were great quality and at a low price. The team that came to do the install completed their work early and followed all safety requirements on our job site. After the initial install they have been very responsive to our calls when we have questions. My company is looking to utilize there services at some of our other locations.

    As a 30+ yr biz owner myself, I know a thing or two about quality of service. It truly starts with being responsive when a client calls you. I have no regrets choosing STI. Very professional and honest organization that has been around for 20+ years in Tampa. Our HOA community wanted a modern gate access entry system and improved RF auto tag technology. STI had the experience and knowledge to address our needs and even suggest a few things we didn't consider. Their team also went the extra mile and addressed some aesthetic concerns we had as well. Overall, honest and fairly priced security experts.

    Recognized as a Historic Landmark Resort in the St Petersburg downtown area, we were looking for the best in the surveillance camera and equipment system business. We talked with Luis from Surveillance Technology Inc, and seemed like the right choice for us. He was very professional, honest, promised us prompt response and even took the time to walk the entire property. I am so happy that we choose his company for our surveillance needs and professional advice. Luis has been with us since 2021 and has made several installations. The results have all been outstanding clear picture, easy viewing and storing.I would like to especially point out an installation done this week at our Marina. His wonderful techs led by Jaime, performed a cable installation where a "dinghy" had to be used. Fighting hightide and waves they managed to install approximately 1 mile of cable and deliver the best video viewing on all cameras. I will recommend Luis and his company to anyone looking for surveillance equipment hands down.

    Although very busy, this company sent out their technicians within a reasonable amount of time.. The technicians Jamie and Josh were very professional and friendly. Jaimie identified and rectified my problem I had with on line visualization of the camera views and playback. He also assisted with making sure our phones were able to bring up the same views. One hour later....done. PLUS I received a call the next morning to answer any questions I may have had. Thank you!!! BTW,, Louis is the person that answers the phone and is extremely helpful and phone friendly with curteous professional communication. KUDOS

    Our Homeowners Association was seeking bids for a new camera system for two of our locations. From our initial dealings with Luis, we were impressed. He took the time to answer numerous questions and offered several different options. When we had narrowed it down to two suppliers, Luis came out and gave us a live demonstration on the caliber of cameras that we were purchasing.Surveillance Technology Inc. was quick to schedule an installation date for us. Our install team, lead by Jamie, did a seamless install. They were extremely polite, quick to do the install and ensured that our property was left immaculate.Jamie went over the workings of the system and ensured that we had a full understanding of the system.We would highly recommend Surveillance Technology.
