Do You Need To Pay Monthly Security Monitoring Fee’s.. Maybe not...

Many people with security systems in the area pay monthly monitoring fees of $20-30 dollars a month or more. While having central station monitoring may be the best choice for some people, many Nextec customers choose to have their security systems call them and their family and friends directly. Not only does this save them money every month, but we often set them up with functionality that a “standard security system” does not have.

* Many of our customers get a phone call or text alarm if the temperature drops below a certain point indicating there is a furnace problem (which is very common up here).

* Many of our customers have water sensors in areas around an upstairs laundry room, and will get an alert if there is a water pipe issue that could do major damage to their home.

* Most of our customers have the ability to remotely arm and disarm their security systems from their iPhone or Android based phones, allowing authorized people into their houses and then rearmed when they are gone (such as house cleaners, contractors and family/friends checking on your home while you are vacation)

Something to consider…

****** What size TV For Your Room? ******

Customers frequently ask me what the ideal size TV for their room or area. While the depends on a variety of variables including the aesthetics of the room etc . I will try and simplify it down to “ideal viewing”

Most Flat Panel TV’s have a resolution of 1080p, so I will use this as a reference. Although there are different opinions and methods I suggest the following rule of thumb.The best viewing distance is 1.5-2.5 times the diagonal measurement of the TV or 3 to 5 times the screen height (preferred). the advertised TV size is the diagonal measurement.

So to figure the best size TV based on where your seating is (or will be), just dust off your algebra skills. If we choose to calculate 4 times the screen height and the distance is 8 ft (96 inches) we get 4x=96 (where x is the ideal screen height) or x= 96/4 = 24 inches. This corresponds to a 42” flat panel which would be the ideal viewing size at that distance.

Let me know if you have any questions.
