  • Peace of Mind After Brutal Attack

    Peace of Mind After Brutal Attack

    Fresh off of being presented with a sixth consecutive Excellence in Community Service Award from the Honeywell Security Group, Security ONE continues giving back to the community with a Christmas surprise.

    Ontario Provincial Police responded to a call on Wigle St in Leamington back in June of 2018 to find 36- year old Haifa Gebrail with serious injuries after being assaulted in her home. A 44-year old man was arrested at the time and charged with attempted murder.

    “We just want her to go back to living a normal life,” says Sam Sleiman, of Leamington. Earlier this year, his niece, Haifa Gebrail, also of Leamington was brutally attacked and left for dead. “Haifa is a survivor, a thriver, and a fighter”, he said.

    Gebrail has spent the last six months recovering in hospital and has been released and is now living on her own again. “She suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and sometimes has trouble sleeping,” Sleiman said.

    In September of 2018, Security ONE Alarm Systems launched their 5th annual “Who Deserves To Win” contest and received over 200 nominations over two months. Haifa Gebrail was the overwhelming winner.

    Sales & Loyalty Manager, Corey Robertson says this year’s winner was something special. “What happened to Haifa is every person’s worst nightmare. It’s the kind of crime you only see on TV or in the movies”, he said. “We’ve seen the Leamington community rally around Haifa, and we couldn’t be prouder to help give her and her family the peace of mind, and protection, they deserve.”

    A short video of the big day, including the installation and candid interviews with the family, can be seen on Security ONE’s YouTube channel.

    In addition to arming doors and windows, Robertson says there one more critical piece to Gebrail’s security system. “We’ve outfitted Haifa with Personal Emergency Response Button with GPS and 2-way voice communication that will work anywhere in North America”, says Robertson. “She’ll be able to take this device with her anywhere she goes, knowing that help is only the push of a button away.”

    Christmas for the Gebrail family will be a lot more peaceful this year. “Old Haifa passed away”, a beaming Gebrail announced, “New Haifa is here to stay. I’m so thankful to this community and to Security ONE.”

  • 6 Reasons To Consider Video Surveillance

    1. Real Time Monitoring

    Real time video monitoring allows you monitor areas of your home or business from wherever you are through your smartphone, tablet or PC. Our Total Connect app makes it possible to have multiple sites on the same login.

    1. Improve Productivity

    Video cameras can improve worker productivity. Not only is communication between different sites and departments is improved, employees are more likely to work at their fullest potential when they know they are being monitored.

    Man Putting out Open Sign

    1. Resolve Disputes

    No matter what type of business you run, disputes are going to occur. A surveillance camera can provide clear proof about an entire incident.

    1. Provide Evidence

    A video surveillance system can offer submissable evidence for an investigation. If any type of criminal activity or suspicious activity in the vicinity, cameras can help identify the criminals.

    Video Verification

    1. Digital Storage

  • Video Surveillance

    Video Surveillance

    When it comes to security cameras, it’s important to understand how many different options are available. At Security ONE, we custom design video surveillance system around your needs, fitting into your security plan. Here’s what you should ask yourself ahead of time:

    HB71S_hi
    • Area to be covered
    When designing your camera system, we take into account the size and layout of the area you are looking to cover. If you don’t know the exact square footage, an rough estimate is good place to start.

    • Lighting conditions
    Will you need to view your cameras at night? Are there any external light sources available? Will the lighting conditions change throughout the day? These are all important questions to ask.

    • Storing the video footage
    Do you need to compile and review old footage? How far back do you need to retain?  Or, are do you only need to check in from time to time? Considering your storage needs is an important part of your video surveillance plan.

    • Remote Access
    Just like security systems, many cameras can be viewed or accessed from your smart phone, tablet or computer. Do you want to be able to view your cameras remotely? Do you want to receive alerts when motion is detected?

    For more information on having security cameras installed and maintenance plans we offer, please call 1-800-265-5317 or just CLICK HERE.

    Honeywell Guest Blog

    At Security ONE, we are involved in community service all year long. But there is just something about the holiday season that really makes you want to give back. This year, there have been a fair amount of high profile home invasions in our area, so we invited the public to nominate deserving families to receive a free Honeywell security system that would be delivered in time for the holidays.

    The public support for the idea was overwhelming. We launched the campaign in September at our inaugural customer appreciation parking lot BBQ. With a heavy social media campaign on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+, a targeted email campaign, and traditional advertising on local radio, we narrowed down the nominations to six finalists and received hundreds of votes. We couldn’t be happier for the Wall family who received the Honeywell system as well as our CSAA 5 Diamond Certified monitoring and Honeywell Total Connect Remote Services.

    A Deserving Family
    Unfortunately, the Walls were victims to four burglaries in their home. They run a home daycare business and were nominated by Charles LeBlanc who explained how dedicated Lisa Wall is when taking care of his children and he wanted to give her security in return.

    We created a video on the installation day that features some of Santa’s helpers from the Security ONE team as well as interviews with Charles and the Wall family. We are now in the press release phase of the campaign and are linking the video from our You Tube channel to all other social media platforms. Take a few minutes to watch the video above. My thanks to the Security ONE volunteers who gave of their time on a weekend to shoot the video, install the equipment and wrap all the Honeywell presents!

    Christmas should be a time of joy and I feel very fortunate that we were able to give the Wall family peace of mind this holiday season.

  • 4 New Tech Gadgets

    4 New Tech Gadgets

    Phones are smart, thermostats are smart, and security systems are smart. More and more, common household appliances are becoming smart. Here are four high-tech gadgets we found on the internet that we thought were pretty cool.

    Family Hub Refrigerator

    This well could be the fridge of the future. It actually has a Wi-Fi touchscreen, and lets you view your calendar, notes, recipes – even the weather forecast. For those who have kids that stand in front of the fridge with the door open just staring at it, you can watch TV shows or movies and stream music through the screen. It actually has a camera inside that lets you peek inside your fridge through an app. Now if only it would prepare your dishes for you!

    samsung-family-hub

    Smart Deadbolt

    The smart deadbolt let you use your smart phone as remote keyfob – no need for carrying keys! You can set multiple user-specific codes. That allows to see if the kids come home late, or lets set temporary codes for contractors. The lock connects with our Lynx Touch panels and can be accessed by our Total Connect app.

    schlage-deadbolt

    Soundwall

    Music is art, and with this cool product, art can play music! It looks like a painting, and gets hung on your wall, and has speakers. What makes it especially neat is that you can upload your pictures or art and stream whatever music you want. soundwall

    Electronic Pet Door

    If you’ve ever been worried that burglars could sneak through a doggie door like they did in the Hangover 3 movie with Bradley Cooper, this is the gadget for you. The door uses RFID technology to read a special tag on your pet’s collar, giving only him the only access to the door. plexidoor
