fire alert systems
While many systems use wireless components
that are installed using double sided tape, some high end systems use components that require professional installation. These soup to nuts systems typically cost considerably more than DIY systems and offer 24/7 professional monitoring, but you may have to enter into a multi year contract and pay a hefty termination fee if you break it. They usually use touch screen hubs thatcontain RF, Wi Fi, Zigbee, and Z Wave radios, allowing them to communicate with and control a multitude of components including door and window sensors, door locks, glass break detectors, indoor and outdoor cameras, light switches, motion and water detectors, smoke/CO alarms, thermostats, video doorbells, and a host of other home automation devices. With a professionally monitored system, when a smoke or intrusion alarm is triggered, an agent will first try to reach you via the two way control panel before calling your listed phone number. If you fail to respond, the agent will call 911 to dispatch an emergency responder to your home. The nice thing about professionally installed systems is you don't have to lift a finger; after you've
placed your order a technician will come to your home, set everything up for you, and show you how the system works.

”One
resident wrote on Aug. 3 of a solicitor’s visit on Corona Court. The solicitor had all the proper documentation. Vivint and its representatives are permitted by the city to solicit. ”What concerned me was that he was implying he was representing the City of Palm Coast and Flagler County,” the resident wrote. “He started his sales pitch by stating that he was here on behalf of Flagler to let us know that the telephone lines in our neighborhoods where going to be upgraded in two weeks and that some of the current system will not be compatible with the
emergency system. I asked him why is the county involved with phone lines and specifically the replacement and upgrade of the lines?And why are we not being notify directly by the County or City?He stated that’s what he was doing. He became really pushy to the point I had to just close the door and tell him we were not interested in his products and services which the entire time he was stating he was not selling anything and I would contact the City and County to find out more on this ‘suppose’ phone line upgrade. ”A Sheriff’s report documents a “very aggressive” Vivint solicitation at 8:15 p. m. on July 29—also after permissible hours.
