Here they share CONSUMER WARNING: Just Say NO To AGGRESSIVE Door to Door Salespeople:

Consumer tips:

1. Security Systems are Never FREE and are not worth $1500.

2. ALWAYS get 3 quotes.

3. DO NOT install the system within a few hours of signing up. Give yourself some time to do some research.

Consumer Warning:

It's that time of year when you will be getting pressured by door to door salespeople. They would like to sign you up to "limited time offer" that expires "right away". And before you know you know it you're on the hook for thousands of dollars. (This happens several thousand times each year).

For more information do a Google Search and type "Alarm Door to Door". Thousands of people have been duped.

The Pressure:

The Solutions:

1. Put Up Your Hand and "Say NO". Immediately close the door and the sales person will eventually leave.

2. Tell them "You are Trespassing" and that you will call the BBB Better Business Bureau, Consumer Protection Branch and the Police if they do not leave.

3. Always Get 3 Quotes for whatever you consider purchasing. This gives you the time to gather information and to check if the "deal" being presented to you is the best option.

4. Never Accept Quick Delivery of a product or service. This gives you a cooling off period and more time to gather facts.

5. If you did proceed with the offer You Have 10 Days to Change Your Mind and CANCEL (and get a full refund). It's the Law in Saskatchewan.

6. Don't Forget - You may already be in a contract for the products or services being offered to you.

Here they share Holiday Security Tips:

THESE HOLIDAY SECURITY TIPS COULD SAVE YOU SOME HEADACHES!

Social Media is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, but don't forget it's very public. Thieves also like reading about your vacation plans and can often track down your address.

AVOID POSTING: "packing for the trip", "just got to lake", or "just landed", etc. or photos of your new big screen TV and PS4

Break'in's rarely occur when you are at home - so in addition to arming your Reed Security alarm system you will want to make it look like you are still there.

• Cancel the newspaper
• Have someone shovel your driveway
• Have someone pick up your mail
• Park an unused vehicle in the driveway
• Install exterior motion lights (and make sure you test them)
• Install timers for interior lights
• Consider ALARM.COM Interactive Services. Control your lights, locks, blinds, temperature, and video cameras remotely

Here they share a tip on the REEDHD Smart Cameras:

REEDHD SMART CAMERAS SEE AND THINK LIKE US!

Video Analytics is a generic term used to describe computerized processing and analysis of video streams and is used for a variety of tasks. Video Analytics automatically monitors ReedHD Smart Cameras and sends you real time alerts of pre-defined events. Instead of waiting passively, you can now TAKE ACTION.

ReedHD Smart Cameras:

• Provide advanced detection and real time alerts - Actively fight crime
• Provide business intelligence - Customer experience, staffing and traffic counts
• Quickly pay for themselves Are less costly than private security guards - Do the math. How much do you spend per month for private security guards? Can the costs be reduced by implementing ReedHD Smart Cameras? You may consider using both.
• Are less costly and lower maintenance than dogs - Dogs are a great deterrent. They're also messy and can be easily overcome with poison.
• Are less costly and more effective than relying on a human operator - Various research studies and real-life incidents indicate that an average human operator of a surveillance system, tasked with observing video screens, cannot remain alert and attentive for more than 20 minutes. Moreover, the operator’s ability to monitor the video and effectively respond to events is significantly compromised as time goes by.
• Work with PC, iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets

ReedHD Smart Cameras Can Identify:

• Penetration of Unauthorized People / Vehicles into restricted areas
• Tailgating of People / Vehicles through secure checkpoints
• Traffic Obstacles Unattended Objects Vehicles stopped in no-parking zones, highways or roads Removal of Assets Crowding or Grouping Loitering
• Smoke and Fire Video Management

Software and Apps:

• See Live Video Cameras Immediately review and respond to events detected by ReedHD Smart Cameras
• Easily manage your cameras and setup rules
• Search by time, camera groups, rule violation type, object type, etc.
• May work with your existing video cameras

Actively Do Something About It:

• Once an event is detected by ReedHD Smart Cameras it's time to take charge.
• You can make a difference 80% of the time with the following added measures:

One Way Talk Down - Loudspeakers are installed at the premises. You can talk down to the premises from your smartphone. "HEY - YOU IN THE BLACK JACKET. YOU HAVE BEEN DETECTED. THE POLICE HAVE BEEN DISPATCHED. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY" "YOUR FACE IS BEING RECORDED IN HIGH DEFINITION"

2 Way Talk Down - Same as One Way, but with a microphone added to the premises. Great for after hours at car dealerships or unattended premises.

Sirens - You can activate external sirens to make unwanted visitors leave. 

Flashing Strobe Lights - You can activate flashing lights to make unwanted visitors leave.

24/7 Video Verification:

Packages For increased protection we highly recommend that ReedHD Smart Camera alerts be sent to our 24/7 Rapid Response Monitoring Stations. A professionally trained live operator will log into your cameras, perform a look-in and decide if a problem exists. We can *talk down to the site to actively deter crime, alert you and dispatch the proper authorities.

*Monthly charges apply for all video verification packages*Requires talk down option
