AlarmSystemReport.coms ranking team has published the list of the best home security companies in Maryland. Maryland residents may be surprised to see who made the list this year.

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) October 29, 2012

Home Security Experts

AlarmSystemReport.com employed home security experts from Maryland to help them review all of the top home alarm system companies in Maryland. These home security experts were given a list of all of the companies AlarmSystemReport.com's ranking team found worthy of reviewing and were told to review them.

However, the experts were not free to review the alarms in any way they wanted. They were given a list of qualities to grade each company on and were told to give them a rating from one to five. In addition to this rating, they were told to give a detailed analysis on why they rated each company the way they did.

In order to keep these reviews unbiased, the experts were told to keep their reviews a secret. The Maryland home alarm system companies that were reviewed never knew they were being reviewed. Also, each home security expert worked independently and was not told the identities of the other home security experts working on the same reviews. AlarmSystemReport.com has found that having the home security experts work independently helps to keep the reviews objective and unbiased.

Social Websites

While the Maryland home security experts worked on their reviews, the ranking team at AlarmSystemReport.com worked on finding social reviews on Maryland home security companies. They looked through review sites like Yelp and Angie's List and friend finding sites like Facebook and MySpace. The ranking team looked to find common trends on each site to determine each company's major strengths and weaknesses. These findings were then combined with the findings of the experts to create a much more detailed and unbiased review.

Government Websites

To find even more information on home security companies, AlarmSystemReport.com also finds it useful to check websites like the Better Business Bureau. The Better Business Bureau lets the ranking team at AlarmSystemReport.com know whether a company or set of alarm systems is receiving too many customer complaints. This information is also combined with the opinions of the experts to create a nice clear picture of each Maryland home security company.

SPOKANE--The Spokane County Sheriff's office is investigating a scam hitting the area involving a home security company.

In recent months employees from Vision Security Systems have been in the Spokane area according to officials. Employees have told citizens without security systems the Sheriff's Office has received a grant and is paying for installation of new security systems.

Employees have also contacted homeowners with existing security systems. Homeowners have been told they need to make changes to their system and sign a new contract through Vision Security. The homeowner has then been charged a higher price than the contract stated.

In some cases, the homeowner still got charged with their original security system company as well as a new charge through Vision Security. This is a sixty-month contract that the homeowner only has three days to cancel according to officials. The Spokane County Sheriff's Office said they do not have a contract for installation of home security systems with any company. Vision Security is a legitimate company, but employees are allegedly lying to customers and allegedly forging contracts. Detective M. Stewart is asking any victims of this scam to contact him via e-mail at MAStewart@spokanesheriff.org.

Best Home Security Companies in Florida Announced by 6Webs.com

ATLANTA, Oct. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The White House isn't just a national landmark or a government administration building. It's also a home; and a secure one at that. That's why HomeSecurityDeals.com, the web's leader in personal and property safety, produced an infographic detailing the White House's known and rumored security measures.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121031/CG02063-INFO)

"Home security is our business, so it only made sense for us to take a thorough look at the most secure house in America," said site manager Ty Collins. "We decided on the infographic medium early on, after finding normal article format was insufficient for the scope of the project. There's just so much interesting information on the subject. It's much better organized in graphic form like this."

The infographic is segmented into three segments:

"We're primarily trying to perform a public service by providing this knowledge in a fun and simple way to understand," Collins said. "We realize the average homeowner doesn't have or want an underground bunker or Secret Service protection. Still, it's some really interesting information and we hope people enjoy it."

Best Rated Home Security System Announced by 6Webs.com

According to an industry estimate, the Indian home safety and security market, which includes CCTVs, video phone devices (VDPs), fingerprint locks and intrusion alarm systems is estimated to be around Rs 300 crore in 2012. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 35 percent for the next four years.

As per an IMS report, the residential surveillance deployment market was estimated to be $1.7 million in 2012 and is likely to go up to $7.1 million by 2016 with a CAGR of about 44.8 percent in India.

With crime increasing at an alarming rate, the increase in the demand for home safety and security devices should not come as a surprise.

Companies like Zicom, Dax Networks, Axis Communications, Digisol and D-Link are some of the names which are riding on this bandwagon.

Crime-driven market

According to reports, India is fast becoming an unsafe place for children with a 24 percent increase in crimes against children in 2011 compared to the previous year. Nearly 33,100 cases were reported in 2011 against 26,694 cases during 2010.

Such an alarming crime rate against children is a big concern for parents; hence they are taking every step to protect the kids. More and more double income single kid families are going in for IP cameras and other home safety devices. A typical building with 100-odd flats goes in for CCTVs in the kids park, corridors and parking areas not only to keep a watch on the overall premises but also to keep an eye on the children, says Subhashini Ramakrishnan, CTO, Dax Networks.

According to a study by HelpAge India, an organization working for the welfare of senior citizens, Delhihome to nearly a million senior citizens, crime against elderly people is four times more than in Mumbai and double that of Bengaluru. The study said that of the total cases of crime against elders registered in Delhi last year, the highest form of crime was hurting a senior (42.2 percent) followed by murder and robbery which accounted for 35.5 and 13.3 percent respectively. A major chunk of these crimes happen within the confines of the senior citizens home.

Lifestyle changes

Says Sudhindra Holla, Country Manager, Axis Communications, The changing lifestyle of consumers is another big reason for the increasing demand of CCTVs. Technology is enabling parents to keep an eye on their parents and children over a mobile phone.
