Devcon Security Review

The home security marketplace is highly competitive. While the old guard are out there making the same old products, there are some companies that forge ahead with new technologies and new options for home protection. One of the newer kids on the block is Devcon Security.

A focus on service

Devcon’s objective is straightforward. According to their website, they want to “provide each and every customer with superior quality, easy-to-use home security services that come backed by an exceptional, unprecedented level of customer service and support from the best, most comprehensively trained team in the industry!”

What can we take away from that? This company has a focus on customer service. They want to make sure that, when you need them, they have someone to help you who knows what they’re doing.

Does Devcon live up to this commitment? There are some complaints from former customers about Devcon, but generally not in the area of customer service. The company has a decent BBB rating, which reflects on this superior service commitment.

Interactive home security options

One of the things Devcon offers to its customers is advanced interactivity. Whether you’re home or not, you want to be able to keep tabs on things. Devcon lets you do this.

There are four areas Devcon offers in terms of their interactive services:

1. Remote video monitoring. This lets you view your home security cameras from anywhere you have an Internet connection. These advanced IP-based home security cameras can be viewed from your smartphone, your work computer, or anywhere else. Simply log into the system, and you’ve got an instant view.
2. Wireless lighting control. One of the best deterrents to burglars is active lights. You can control the lights in your home in a real-time fashion, remotely, using Devcon wireless light controls. You can also set a regular schedule, so that the lights go on or off at a certain time of day. You can integrate them with motion sensors, as well.
3. Remote access. You can control appliances and more from your smartphone with this feature. In addition, it will let you get an SMS text message to your cellphone when the system is activated, so you’ll know when the kids get home in the afternoon. You can even arm the system remotely.
4. Remote heating and cooling. The web interface for your Devcon system lets you control your thermostat from anywhere. You can set your furnace to start warming up several hours before you return from your winter vacation in Florida, for example, or you can turn the AC down during the day when you’re at work.

How about Devcon home security reviews?

Former customers seem generally pleased with Devcon. Most of the complaints out there have to do with the Devcon contract; former customers felt the contract should be shorter, or that they should have been able to get out of the contract before it was over without a penalty. As long as you go in knowing what kind of contract you’re going to have, of course, this shouldn’t be a problem.

If you’re looking for a home security system, put Devcon on your short list. Chances are good they’ll offer a competitive price and the kind of advanced home security options you want.
