The Almén family chose the new home security alarm from Securitas when they moved into their new home. Even without prior knowledge of alarm systems, they easily installed the system themselves and linked it to Securitas. They now feel secure having well-functioning, comprehensive home protection.
The Alméns are an average Swedish family with Mom Eva, Dad Magnus, and two children living at home. Their new home is in a development in the small town of Veberöd, just outside Lund in southern Sweden. The first thing that catches your eye when you approach the front door is a large sign saying the house is protected by Securitas.
Although the development was built just a year ago, some neighbors have already been the victims of burglary. “It’s sad to have to think about it, but when sitting at work reading about burglary in the paper, it feels good to know we have Securitas signs on our home,” says Magnus.
When the Alméns moved into their new home in April 2007, they were anxious to find the best protection available for their home and everything in it. When browsing the web, they learned that signing up with the insurance company Folksam meant they would be offered an alarm system linked to Securitas free of charge. It was easy for the Alméns to decide that Securitas’ new home security alarm was a perfect fit.
Enkel säkerhet (“easy security”) is the new home security alarm from Securitas. It is the solution for those who want affordable, uncompromised security. Enkel säkerhet lets anyone increase their home security. The customer installs the system in his or her own home, and, with no prior knowledge, links it to Securitas. If the alarm sounds, Securitas’ guards are standing by. Folksam was quick off the starting blocks in recommending Enkel säkerhet as the security solution for private homes.
Eva and Magnus had no security alarm systems in their previous homes and knew nothing about assembling or installing them. They also point out that they are no handier around the house than the average Swede. But they were both surprised by how easy it was to install the alarm.
“When I received the package with the alarm, I was a bit worried. How are we going to manage this, I thought,” says Magnus. “But we watched the instructional DVD and I have to tell you, we were both surprised by how easy it was to assemble and link the system to Securitas.”
“And Securitas even called us right away to confirm that the alarm was now connected to the alarm monitoring center,” continues Eva.
Eva and Magnus placed the different components of the alarm in their house according to the instructions and tips in the instructional pamphlet and DVD. They now feel secure in having comprehensive protection of their new home. The alarm has become part of their home and is used by the whole family.
“The alarm is really easy to use. If we have a neighbor watch the house when we go on vacation, the remote control is perfect,” says Eva. “If someone needs to come in to water the plants, there is no need to remember a code; they just use the remote control.”
Though Enkel säkerhet is a cinch to use, there are times when anyone needs extra support. The Almén family experienced this first hand last New Year’s when they called Enkel säkerhet support.
“On New Year’s Eve, our son had a party for his friends”, tells Magnus. “One of the guests must have pushed some buttons on the alarm as a joke. The next day, the alarm wouldn’t work at all. But I called the support desk and with their help, quickly got the alarm working again.”
