Protection For Your Car and Your Home

July 8th, 2022



Do you know how easy it can be to break into a home’s garage? For those who have attached garages on their home, this could mean it’s that much easier to enter the main house as well. It only takes approximately a handful of seconds and a coat hanger, and your vehicles, equipment, tools, and home could all be at risk. You may have already considered your main home security, but have you considered how you could improve the security of your garage?

 

Keep Your Home And Your Garage Safer

 

For true peace of mind, you’ll want to consider the safety of your garage just as much as you consider the safety of your home. A fully integrated home security system that includes both home and garage elements allows you to control your security completely without trying to manage too much at once. Some considerations for making your Chico, CA home and garage safer include:

 

  • Position your security cameras strategically – Security cameras are one of the single best ways to protect your Chico, CA property. The placement of these cameras can allow you to protect your home and your garage all at once, and this is done by positioning your cameras to point up the driveway and toward your garage area. If your garage is off-site from your home, you can have dual cameras pointing toward both structures.

 

  • Invest in a smart garage – You’ve likely heard of smart home technology, but what about smart garage technology? A smart garage system can help you to keep your door closed even if you forget, it can allow you to control the lighting in your garage to give the appearance of movement or activity, and it can provide remote monitoring that allows you to keep your eye on your garage from anywhere in your home, your city, or the world.

 

  • Keep it lit – Burglars and vandals ideally want to get away with their crimes in Chico, CA. For this reason, these individuals will typically carry out their plans or actions under the cover of night, knowing they’re less likely to be seen. What they want to see is a garage area that is dark, vacant looking, and simple to get into and out of. Smart lighting or motion detection lighting will trigger light sources to turn on when motion is detected, ensuring that your garage is never dark and easy to target spot they’re looking for.

 

Complete Peace Of Mind Through Complete Protection

 

If you’re looking for ways to better protect your Chico, CA home and garage, you’re certainly not alone. Your garage should be a place you feel safe storing vehicles and other items, not a place where you feel as though you’re putting yourself at risk. With the right security measures in place, your garage will be less of a target to those looking to vandalize, burglarize, or otherwise target your property.

What Our Customers Say

"I had the Alibi system installed several years ago. It has functioned flawlessly. The image quality is exellent both night and day and in all weather conditions. I particularly like the replay (which can be set at various speeds) and zoom functions of the system. Tech support from Crimefreeliving has been excellent. I have received quick responses to questions, and timely home visits — as when I changed IP carriers and my Alibi system needed to be reset. I have recommended Crimefreeliving to several friends."

Rich

"As a small business owner here in Chico we definitely saw the need for video surveillance. After expressing our needs and concerns Tim did an excellent job getting us set up with the set up with the appropriate equipment. He really took the time to address our concerns in a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable manner. I highly recommend Tim for all of your business and residential video surveillance needs."

Ron H., Owner/Auto Doctor

"I have to say I love having my security cameras at my home. Tim Truby did a wonderful job of installing the five cameras. He is very neat and cleaned everything up after the installation. He explained to me how to operate the monitor, my phone and IPad. However, I have had to call Tim because I'm not tech savvy and forget what he has told me. He usually just helps me over the phone and then all is well. I'm 80 years old and enjoy the comfort of knowing I have these security cameras."

Gloria

"Tim Truby designed and installed a 32 camera system for us here at the Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District. We had received several other quotes from security system vendors, but Tim’s quote was the least expensive. Tim also installed the system quickly and has always been available when we needed him. We are very happy with our security camera system and we can highly recommend Tim Truby for all of your surveillance system needs."

D. Weseman, Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District

Crime Free Living updated our old video system with a new 16 Channel HD Alibi Video Security System. The old system had been added onto by different installers which resulted in a cabling mess. There were cables that worked and cables that went nowhere. It was a mess. Tim sorted it all out and installed cameras that are very clear. He also installed a monitor for our cashiers to watch hidden areas, a monitor to watch the entry door, and a monitor that allows employees to watch the outside parking and gas pump area. All work was done on time and very professional! Will always recommend Tim and Crime Free Living.

S. AM PM Chico Arco Station

"I had Tim install an Alibi Video Security System at my residence and a couple business locations. The remote view option is invaluable to absentee owners or anyone who travels a lot. The clarity and quality of the cameras have allowed for viewing employee theft. The evidence provided from the HD video cameras was fantastic! Tim was professional and provided extra value from his law enforcement background."

J. Folsom Arco Station

"Tim, I want to thank you again for doing such a fantastic job on installing a wireless IP security camera system at our dream home. The extra time that you took to hide wires, and install a clean, professional system is much appreciated. I still can’t believe the clarity, quality, and ease of use of this new system. I wished that I would have met you before our original inferior system was installed by another company. Now, whether I am at home, or monitoring the system from around the world, I know that my home and family are safe and sound."

John M.

"In April of 2017, my husband and I made a phone call to Crime Free Living that turned out to be a smart and wise decision. Amazingly, in just a few hours, Tim installed four Dome Security Cameras, weatherproof enclosures, and hooked up into our home a 23" Full HD Widescreen Security Monitor. Even more than his professional expertise was the time spent with us in making sure that this system was working correctly and properly installed on our phones so that anywhere in our travels we can monitor our new home in Magalia."

Tieka and Don S.

"I have been using Crime Free Living for the last couple years ar work and at home and I really recommend this product. Tim is a very good service provider. If he can't figure it out, he's got good tech support with the system that he offers."

Gary D.

"I have known Tim for over 10 years. To date, Time with Crime Free Living has installed two separate surveillance systems for my company. With each system, Tim has listened to my needs and custom dsigned surveillance systems for my specific needs and within my budget. The equipment used is always state of the art, the workmanship is top notch, and Tim is the example of trustworthy. I would recommend him for any job."
