The affordability of advanced technologies has made video surveillance systems so commonplace that we hardly take notice of them. Nearly everyone recognizes and appreciates the benefits of their use, such as increased safety; and a reduction in theft, vandalism, and violence.

You may have read the recent astonishing Washington Post article reporting that there had been 204 mass shootings 204 days into 2015. The report cites information gleaned from Mass Shooting Tracker, a crowd sourced which tracks the number and location of all gun-related events where 4 or more people are killed or injured.

Honeywell Total Connect 2.0 is an award winning platform that allows users to connect, view, and manage their security, surveillance, and home automation from their smartphones, tablets and other internet connected devices, remotely—anytime, and from anywhere they are connected.

The platform quickly revolutionized the industry and was adopted widely in the residential, commercial, business and government sectors because it simplified processes, and improved safety and energy efficiency. Total Connect offered unparalleled access and control by allowing the user to view video surveillance in real time, get immediate alerts; manage automation enabled appliances, electronics, and lock or unlock doors. The platform also supports the tracking of vehicles and assets using GPS technologies, all remotely from supported devices.

Churches typically think about strife existing outside the church walls and concentrate on helping solve problems that exist in the community and in the world. This is because violence happened somewhere else.

Unfortunately, things have changed dramatically over the last few years.   A 2013 USA Today article about church security recently noted that “the number of deadly episodes at sanctuaries has soared over the last decade, and mass shootings at schools, malls, and movie theaters have left Americans feeling like it could happen anywhere.”

Violence perpetrated against the church is on the rise and while most churches want to improve church security, they are doing it all wrong.

Security cameras are a powerful force in preventing crime in PA. Just the presence of them causes most criminals to thinks twice before making your home a target. If a crime does occur, a well-placed camera can be instrumental in identifying the perpetrator. Just having a security camera system is not enough, though. Camera placement is critical and an ill-placed camera can fail to provide the visuals you need.

While it is usually not on our radar until after an unfortunate event, improving safety in the workplace and the home is one of the most urgent issues facing us today. Accidental injury is one of the main causes of ER visits each year, and one of the leading causes of death.

Inventory shrinkage cuts far deeper into the bottom line than most retailers and business owners realize. In fact, a recent National Retail Security Study showed inventory shrinkage represents 1.47% of retail revenue.

JM Resources Wants to Help Wireless Alarm Customers Get Ready for AT&T’s 2G Sunset

There has been a lot of talk since 2012 of AT&T closing down their 2G network in a process called 2G Sunset. In this process AT&T will close down the 2G towers in a series of waves concluding January 1, 2017 with its complete phase out.

If you are like most people, you probably dismissed the information thinking that 2017 is a long way off. But there are some important reasons why you should take notice now to ensure that you do not have any interruption in your alarm service.

If you have ever wondered if a commercial fire and smoke alarm system was worth having installed, the stark statistics surrounding workplace fires is enough to cause anyone pause for thought. Facts show that a commercial smoke detection system can be the most significant factor in preventing loss of life and property.

Once we leave the safety and security of our home, it becomes important to think about personal safety. Like in home security, your safety does not have to be left to chance. While you cannot eliminate the possibility of crime, the more deterrents you put in place, the less likely you are to become a victim.

Crime is always unexpected so it is important to make personal safety a matter of habit, rather than circumstantial expectation. It can happen any time, and anywhere.

It’s not often that a home security provider is chosen to install systems in 20 new home communities owned by a single builder, but JM Resources was chosen by Toll Brothers to do just that. Toll Brothers is one of many home builders that is implementing Control4 security systems into its new home communities, and we are honored that they have chosen us to install these world class security systems into their high quality homes.
