I have pets in my home. Does that mean that I cannot use motion detectors?
No. We offer motion detectors with built in "pet avoidance," that your pets will not set off.

My existing smoke detector goes off a lot when I'm cooking. Will that happen with my new smoke detectors from AIC?
The short answer is no. We use photoelectric smoke detectors. That means that they detect smoke in a way that is much different from a conventional smoke detector, making them less likely to go off from cooking, etc. Remember, you if you do set off your AIC smoke alarm by accident, you can control whether or not the fire department is called by giving the central monitoring station your password.

What happens if I set off my burglar alarm by accident?
If you enter your code incorrectly or accidentally set off your alarm system, within seconds, you will receive a phone call from our central monitoring station. Answer your phone immediately. Give the operator your password, and all is well. Nothing further will ever happen as long as you are able to answer the telephone and know the password that YOU choose when we set up your system.

Millions of People are Effected Each Year
In 2009, there were an estimated 2,199,125 burglaries.

Alarms Are Effective
Virtually all - 97 percent - of home security system owners believe that their systems are effective at guarding against a home break-in, according to a 1998 study of 40,000 U.S. households.

This information is backed by a 2001 study - The Greenwich Study of Residential Security - that found that homes without alarms were 2.7 to 3.5 times more likely to be burglarized.

Most Home Burglaries Occur During The Day.
59% of home burglaries are carried out during the day. 41% of home burglaries are carried out at nighttime.

Most Burglaries Are Forced Entry
As of 2009 two-thirds of burglaries intruders use forcible entry, making the detection capabilities of an alarm system a crucial function.

Burglary Clock
If Burglaries occurred at fixed time intervals, rather than randomly, one burglary would occur every 13 seconds in the United States. This figure is based on 1996 crime statistics as reported by police to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Homes Without Alarms Are Burglarized 3 To 1
Homes without a security system are nearly three times more likely to be burglarized as electronically secured homes, according to a 1991 study.

Average Loss Per Home Burglary
A burglarized home can mean both an emotional upheaval and a monetary loss. Victims of burglary offenses suffered an estimated $4.6 billion in lost property in 2009. Overall, the average dollar loss per burglary offense was $2,096.

Save Money
A home security system can save you up to 20% on your home owners insurance.
