If you've ever been on a video conferencing call that suddenly froze or found yourself staring at Netflix's buffering spinning wheel of doom, you know how irritating inefficient home networking systems can be. These minor annoyances, however, may not propel you into action. It's only when your security system or smart devices stop communicating that you realize it's time for an upgrade.

At Atlantic Security, we create smart home security systems that integrate with the many automated devices and the network that supports them. Let's explore the signs that suggest your network is not performing at its peak and the steps you can take to ensure your Jacksonville, FL home is connected and secure. 

The latest home security camera systems offer features once relegated to top-end commercial solutions. Today, homeowners have access to the same high-performance crystal-clear video feeds and intuitive controls.

According to Bankrate, of the over 900,000 burglaries in 2020, more than 194,000 occurred at a residence at night, with over 247,000 happened during the day! About 50% of these burglars lived less than two miles away from their target, and 85% were committed by desperate amateurs. 

Homes without a security and surveillance system are 300% more likely to be burglarized, yet only 30% of homes have an effective system installed. 

Let’s look at the chances of being burglarized in Jacksonville, FL, and what you can do to protect your home and loved ones. 

Home security installation has come a long way since we first began our mission of securing homes and businesses in St. Augustine, FL, and the surrounding areas over 50 years ago. Today's systems offer an unprecedented level of protection, from alerts that notify us when something out of the ordinary occurs to homes that automatically lock down when an unknown person crosses a perimeter. Technology and artificial intelligence (AI) have made securing our homes almost effortless. 

Let’s look at the latest innovations and the best solutions for you and your family.

These systems offer unrivaled security, integrating video surveillance cameras, door locks, access control, lights, alarms, and audio-video equipment. However, if not under the watchful eye of a video monitoring system, this integrated solution can result in more questions than answers with homeowners left at the helm, deciding when to call law enforcement or when it's simply a false alarm.
