Nov. 6–As a teenager Eric Nieman started in the alarm business doing what he describes as grunt work. “Mostly I was following my boss around, crawling in attics, pulling wire, putting lights up, none of the programming stuff,” he said.

Nieman stuck with it, eventually finding employment for a prominent alarm company and doing sub-contracting work. In the 1990s he and his wife, Heidi, decided to move to Los Banos, start a family and go into business for themselves.

In 1998 Eric Nieman opened Security By Design, located at 1011 I St. It was “scary” for the man who had become used to the reliability of working for someone else.

“When you work for someone you kind of know, ‘In eight hours I’m going to get this on my check.’ Your salary, you know exactly what it is,” Nieman said. “When I started this my salary was high, low, medium, you never knew.”

Heidi Nieman said she and her husband were fortunate enough to get to know some of the developers in town. It provided a steady client base.

Los Banos’ housing boom following Security By Design’s arrival is categorized as “eight good years” by Mrs. Nieman. Although the company relies more heavily on business from commercial development nowadays, Heidi Nieman is clear about the company’s success.

“We are by no means hurting,” she said. “It’s the foreclosures, but if one out of every four houses is foreclosed there are three that are fine.”

In addition, the presence of carbon monoxide in the home has lead to a better understanding of toxicity it causes over the short and long term. A home fire can start with a number of things in the home, such as stoves, candles or electrical devices. They can start up and consume quickly or begin slowly, smoldering first, until it gets enough fuel.

Home fires can begin anytime day or night, and even when someone is home, it doesn’t always get detected. The combination of smoke and thermal fire alarm systems can work together to detect different fire types and conditions.

The addition of a carbon monoxide detector will also help prevent hazardous conditions in the home, ranging from fire to everyday home activities such as the use of electrical items like heaters and appliances. Carbon monoxide is undetectable by humans, yet common and toxic enough in home environments to cause countless injuries each year.

If  you are a business owner and are concerned about both keeping your employees safe, in addition to protecting your investments and property, then having a burglar alarm system installed is definitely a smart move.  Modern alarm systems are often the most cost effective methods of protecting the interests of your company and your employees, however there several common misconceptions about security surveillance systems that often deters business owners from having them installed.

cforms contact form by delicious:days

Most commercial burglar alarm systems are designed to assist business owners detect intrusions and break-ins by triggering an alarm that sends an alert to the alarm company which then dispatches local police officials to the location of the break in.  It is quite common for burglar alarm systems to also integrate fire detection systems, as well as video surveillance systems to additional functionality.  Despite the proven advantages of having these types of alarm systems installed, many people still choose not to buy them due to misled beliefs about their benefits.  Here are some of the most common misconceptions on burglar alarm systems.

Myth One:  They are Too Expensive

A lot has changed in terms of cost for installation and monitoring of alarm systems since they first became easily available for commercial purposes.  These days they can be purchased and installed for as little as just a few hundred dollars depending on the size of the facilities needing surveillance.  Fee’s for monitoring are usually charged monthly and typically average to around $30 per month.

Myth Two:  They are Too Difficult to Use

While burglar alarm systems may seem complicated to use at first, the truth is that they are no more difficult to operate than a normal ATM machine.  Most people can learn to use one in under thirty minutes by simply reading the manual as they are usually operated through a LCD interface that is easily configured.

Myth Three:  They are Useless in the Event of a Power Outage

The myth that a burglar alarm system will stop working in the event of the power going out or the phone lines being cut is a popular, yet completely untrue tale.  In reality almost every type of alarm system is designed with an internal battery backup that activates if a power outage occurs, as well as a integrated phone line that backs up your phone system.

Myth Four:  Frequent False Alarms Will Cause Trouble With Police

False alarms are bound to happen with any alarm system.  A monitored system will begin by notifying the monitoring center, which then in turn attempts to contact the business owner to determine if there is a real threat.  This additional hurdle in the monitoring process prevents most false alarms from reaching emergency agencies.
Many business owners believe alarm systems to be an unnecessary expense as they won’t help increase the company’s bottom line.  While this would hold true if there was never any sort of incident, the truth is that the cost of a single break in would like be far greater than the cost of operating a burglar alarm system for several years.  More importantly, many insurance providers are willing to offer discounts on insurance premiums to companies protected by certified systems.
