Security-Home
There is no better feeling in the world than knowing your family is being looked after. Having a monitored Burglar alarm system gives you that peace of mind.

Central Illinois Security, Inc. will come directly into your home and give you a free evaluation. Once we determine your needs then we can give you a fair and comprehensive proposal of what the system will cost.

Home security systems range from the most basic of protecting Doors and adding motion detectors. All the way to the most complete systems that protect each door, window and utilize glass breakage devices. We will custom design a system to suit your specific needs.

"Your home is your castle, or at least it should be. But it's also easy to get complacent about safety and be lulled into a false sense of security. Here are a few suggestions for making your home the fortress you need it to be:

  • Keep all doors and windows closed and securely fastened at night and when you're away. An open window or door is an invitation for burglars. Thieves are also quick to spot weak locks that may easily be opened. Doors should have deadbolt locks with a 1" strike plate.
  • Secure Sliding glass doors with metal rod and install vertical bolts.
  • Always lock the door to an attached garage. Don't rely on your automatic garage door opener for security.
  • Use timers on lights, radios and TV's to give the illusion you're home.
  • Keep the perimeter of your home will lighted.
  • Never leave clues that you are away. Arrange to have mail and newspapers collected. Ask a neighbor to park a car in your driveway while you're away.
  • Keep some shades and blinds up and curtains open to maintain a normal appearance.
  • Never leave a message on your answering machine telling people that you are away.
  • Keep shrubbery trimmed away from entrances and walkways. They provide a hiding place for burglars.
  • And one of the most important things you can do, would be to organize a community watch program to protect your neighborhood.

The most effective thing you could possibly do would be to have a Monitored Security System installed today!

Fire Detection-Home
Installing smoke detectors and even carbon-monoxide detectors are a great addition to any burglar alarm system. Adding these devices gives you a monitored fire alarm system.

Each year, about 250 fatal poisoning accidents in the United States are attributed to carbon monoxide, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. A carbon monoxide detector can prevent such accident, and is as important in a house as a smoke detector, fire officials say. Newer models are much more accurate then earlier devices, which where plagued with false alarms.
