Ease of Use

Slomin’s includes professional installation of the system to ensure that it’s set up quickly and correctly. The technicians start out by giving you an in-home security review, so you can get the right system for your lifestyle. They will walk you through how to use the system and answer any questions you might have about using it. A complete instruction manual will act as your quick reference guide if you run into any problems or forget how to use a feature. The learning curve is higher than some other home security systems, but they make it as easy as possible to understand what you’re doing.

Customer Service

Slomin’s uses an all in-house staff that is taken through an extensive training program, as well as given background checks and going through licensing procedures. You receive 24/7 monitoring for your system and the person answering your alerts will be able to help you through any situation. You can schedule an appointment, send in a request form, call the company, or send them an email with questions.

Value

The amount you pay varies based on the equipment that you end up adding to your system. The base pricing starts at $29.95 per month, which includes the 24/7 monitoring service with features such as immediate responses to your alerts and a verification process that stops false alarms. This security system isn’t the lowest price on the market, but the equipment is solid and you’re getting excellent service at every step of the way.

Equipment

Slomin’s Shield system is a comprehensive home security package that is also well-suited to integrating with a Z-Wave based smart home ecosystem. The base package includes the following components:

• Touch-screen control panel: This is your connection to the central monitoring station and the base hub for all the components of the Slomin’s Shield.
• Motion detector: These sensors look for changes in infrared in the room or hallway to determine whether something is moving in that area when it shouldn’t be.
• Three door sensors: Secure multiple doors in your home and find out when they open and close.
• Battery back-up: Even if the power goes out, you’re still protected against unwanted intruders.
• Yard signs and window decals: Let potential criminals know that you have a comprehensive security system in place to deter them.

Add-On Equipment

You can expand your base package with this add-on equipment.

Video Camera

When you want a real-time view of what’s going on, a live-stream camera is a must for your home security system. It includes two-way talk, stores up to five days of video recordings and starts recording whenever it detects motion.

Keychain Remote

You don’t need to do the awkward security panel shuffle when you first come in the door and need to disarm the security system. This remote turns that process into one button press.

Environmental Sensors

Optional temperature, water, CO2, and fire sensors can keep an eye on the environmental threats to your home.

Summary

Slomin’s Security systems offer a lot through a fully customized experience and a commitment to customer service. These aren’t the cheapest systems out there, but they do a respectable job at working with your budget, and you end up with a home security and automation setup.
