Americans Want Secure Homes Without the High Cost

According to a survey conducted by national hardware store Lowe's, most Americans want to invest in their home's security - they just don't want to spend a lot of money to make that happen.

The Lowe's 2014 Smart Home Survey collected feedback from 2,000 U.S. adults in July.

Here are some of the most important findings we've identified below:

• 52% say having a smart home is at least somewhat important, but more than 70% of smart phone users would like to control these security functions without getting out of bed.
• In terms of purchasing decisions, 56% say cost is the number one deciding factor, followed by 13% concerned with how easy it is to use, and 11% concerned with security. 
• For actual functions, security is the most sought after application with 62% of those surveyed agreeing. 35% wanted something convenient and disasters, like flood and dire protection being important for 29% of those surveyed. 
• 50% of people prefer DIY solutions without a monthly fee, which is twice as many as those who say they'd prefer a professionally monitored system with a service fee (21%.)

The results of this survey show consumers are interested in effective, affordable, and easy to set-up products - the SABRE Home Series meets all of these requirements!

The door stop alarm, and door/window alarm sound at 120 decibels when activated - a siren you can hear up to 300 feet away so your hall mates and neighbors will know if you're in trouble. The alarms are battery activated, and take just seconds to install before they're ready to be used. Plus - it's portable so these key pieces can be carted to your next home away from home. The kit also includes a personal alarm with an LED light.

2.) Personal Alarms: SABRE's personal alarms may look like thumb drives you surely have to head back to campus, but instead of saving your homework it could help save you from becoming a victim. These 110 decibel alarms are easy to activate - just pull the alarm from the key chain and people up to 300 feet away will know you need help.
