Safety & Security Tips
Real answers. Straightforward safety and security solutions.
Have a question about security systems, fire alarms, monitoring, or inspections? You’re in the right place. These are the questions we hear most from homeowners, business owners, and property managers across South Florida.
What is the best security system for a residential home in South Florida?
The best security system for a South Florida home is one that includes professionally installed intrusion detection, monitored smoke and CO alarms, video surveillance, and smart home integration. At Group One Safety & Security, we tailor each system to your property’s needs—whether that’s real-time mobile access, outdoor cameras, or UL-listed alarm monitoring. Florida homes also benefit from hurricane-rated sensors and backup communications in case of power outages. A local, fully supported system outperforms off-the-shelf solutions every time.
How much can a monitored alarm system lower my homeowners insurance?
Installing a professionally monitored security system can lower your homeowners insurance by 5% to 20%, depending on your provider and coverage type. Insurers often offer discounts for features like intrusion detection, fire and CO alarms, and central station monitoring. Group One systems are UL-listed and meet insurance and code requirements—giving you the peace of mind and savings you deserve. We recommend contacting your insurer with proof of installation to confirm exact savings.
What is the most reliable security system for small businesses?
The most reliable security system for small businesses includes commercial-grade intrusion alarms, video surveillance with remote access, and access control systems for entry management. Group One provides scalable, UL-monitored systems designed to protect your assets, limit liability, and keep your operations running smoothly. Unlike DIY or retail kits, our systems are installed and supported by licensed professionals who know Florida compliance inside and out.
Do I need professional monitoring or can I self-monitor my alarm system?
Self-monitoring might seem convenient, but professional monitoring provides faster response times, better insurance coverage, and 24/7 protection—even when your phone is off. Group One’s UL-listed monitoring center ensures that emergency signals from your fire or security system go straight to trained dispatchers—not just a phone notification. If protecting people and property is the goal, professional monitoring is the most secure choice.
How often should a commercial fire alarm system be inspected in Florida?
Florida fire code (NFPA 72) requires most commercial fire alarm systems to be inspected annually by a licensed professional. In some facilities, like healthcare or high-occupancy buildings, quarterly or even monthly inspections may be required. Group One provides routine inspections, testing, and NFPA-compliant reports to ensure you’re always up to code—and avoid costly violations or safety risks. If you’re unsure of your inspection schedule, we’ll help you get on the right plan.
