Suppose, as a native of Alberta, Canada, you recently purchased a winter home in Mountain Bridge, and sometime in July, when you’re back in the cool northern climes, you hear news of home invasions or vandalism in the Northeast Valley.
Or maybe you’re just away on vacation, and you hear the same report. Either way, you wonder, “Is my house OK?” No worries. Just check your computer. In seconds, you can see your pool, your front yard, and the entire interior of your Northeast Mesa home—all with video monitoring.
“Current technology allows you to monitor your property from anywhere you have Internet access,” said Pete Sachs, owner of Kodiak, a division of The Home Security Company, Inc. “And with your smartphone, you have access to your security system, with all the functions of your touchpad at home.”
Longtime Mesa residents, Pete and Gail Sachs, have provided security systems and other low-voltage systems in the Valley and statewide for more than 20 years. Low-voltage technologies include such things as burglar alarms, video cameras, computer networks, central vacuum systems, multi-media home entertainment systems, television/telephone, structured cabling, and more. No job is too large or too small. From a complete audio/video system in the family room, to rock speakers added to your pool area, for that resort-style atmosphere, or perhaps just adding a phone jack in your office, Kodiak can help.
Generally, most homes are pre-wired for security systems and speakers during construction. So, the expense of installing the equipment is pretty reasonable. “Kodiak is unique because we are one of the very few alarm companies not requiring homeowners to purchase long-term, expensive monitoring contracts for their alarm systems,” Pete said. “However, we do offer professional monitoring with a local central station. We also can set you up for self-monitoring with your smartphone, as previously mentioned.”
For a large majority of homeowners in the Mountain Bridge community, theirs are summer homes. “Some of our clients have asked us to be their personal concierge, since they do not yet know many people in the area,” Pete stated. “What better then a company required to have annual background checks and be fingerprinted on an annual basis? Our company is very personable, and we take your security seriously,” he continued. “We review daily reports from the central station, and if I see, for instance, your system has not tested for a couple nights, we contact you so the problem can be resolved.”
Kodiak is a one-stop shop for any type of low-voltage needs. “We carry the most respected brands, and can do anything from a simple home alarm system, to complex monitors and remote controls via smartphone apps and computers,” Pete said. “It’s a matter of what the homeowner wants and how extensive the needs.”
