FAQ Pillar Page: Fire Alarms, Security Systems, Home Alarm Installations, & Surveillance Cameras in Duval County, FL

A home alarm system generally treats the entire home as a single unit, while a commercial security system can be segmented apart for different buildings in a complex, or different spaces within a single building. Commercial security systems are also much more complex and include the need for many more sensors, cameras, and other devices. Commercial security systems must also adhere to stricter requirements than a residential home.

In general, surveillance cameras and CCTV systems act as a major deterrence for would-be criminals, as they do not want to be caught on camera with their illegal and damaging activities. And if someone does take illegal actions, those will be caught, and this enhances the likelihood of a successful prosecution of the criminal. Surveillance cameras can also provide an elevated level of emergency response, as the cameras can provide real-time data about incidents.
