Get Your Home Security Rating

Fill out the following questions to see just how well protected your home is. Just answer the questions and we’ll give you your official home security rating.

1: Do you have a home security system?

Yes, Fortress Security installed it.

Yes, I use some other security monitoring solution.

Sort of, I have a do-it-yourself unmonitored alarm, or maybe just an old security sign I “borrowed” from a friend.

No, my home has no security protection.

Correct! Wrong!

2: If you have a home security system, do you arm it “Away” when you leave and “Home” when you go to sleep at night?

Yes, I set my alarm all the time. And, I may even have control panel presets to adjust the security alarm, lighting, and temperature with the press of a button.

I usually remember to arm the system when I leave or when I'm in for the night. Most of the time.

I tend to rush out the door and forget. I know I need to get better about that!

I don’t have a home security system. Locking my door should make it impossible for anyone to break in. …Right?

Correct! Wrong!

3: How do you check on your house while you’re away from home?

Remote access of live security camera footage.

Check video from non-networked cameras when I return.

Ask a neighbor to check on the house.

I don't have a way to check on my house when I'm away.

Correct! Wrong!

4: Is the perimeter of your home optimized for safety?

Yes, landscaping is well-trimmed, all of my outdoor lighting has working bulbs, and my address is prominently displayed for emergency responders.

Mostly. I should probably trim my hedges back a bit more and I haven’t checked my outdoor lighting in a month or two.

No, the landscaping is dense, I know some outdoor light bulbs are burned out, and I need to repaint my address numbers.

I didn’t even know I should be taking care of these things.

Correct! Wrong!

5: Do you lock the doors to your garage?

Yes, the exterior door, and the door from the garage to the house (if you have one).

I lock the exterior door, but it’s easier to leave the home entry door unlocked.

No, it’s kind of hidden, so I don’t really use it or worry about it.

I haven’t checked recently and don't think about it.

Correct! Wrong!

6: Is your garage door connected to your security system so you can receive alerts when it opens unexpectedly?

Yes, absolutely!

I have a security system, but it isn’t connected to my garage.

Why should I worry about my garage door opening? If it’s closed, they can’t get in, right?

I frequently forget to close my garage door when I leave for work. I’ve been meaning to get better about that.

Correct! Wrong!

7: How solid is your window security?

All windows have secure locks that snap completely into place, secondary pinning devices, and glass break sensors nearby.

Last time I checked, all of my windows were pretty securely locked.

Only a few of my windows don’t lock completely, and most of the faulty ones are on the second floor.

I usually leave the house with my windows open. I like the breeze!

Correct! Wrong!

8: Does your home have the correct number of smoke detectors?

Yes, and they are connected to my home security monitoring which will alert emergency responders if triggered.

Smoke detectors are installed in a few places, and they were working last time I checked.

I’m pretty sure I have some smoke detectors, although I can’t remember the last time I tested them or if I’m sure where they’re all located.

My smoke detector was beeping one night and I couldn’t sleep, so I pulled it down and took out the batteries.

Correct! Wrong!

9: Do you have security cameras installed in your home?

Yes, and the footage is both recorded and available to stream live on a mobile device.

Yes, I have security cameras, but they offer live stream only. If someone breaks in, I have no saved video of the event.

No, security cameras are not included in my current home security system package. It would be really cool to view the area near my front door at any time, though.

I don’t have security cameras or a home security system. I could come home to find my home cleared out and I’d never know how it happened.

Correct! Wrong!
