A new security and automation business, Westman Security & Automation, has opened in Brandon. They will be offering the standard installation and service of alarms, high def CCTV , access control, audio systems (public address, intercom and whole home audio) and residential/small business automation. Camera systems can be hardwired as well as wireless. Westman Security & Automation will be offering 24hr monitoring of alarm (burglar and fire) and environmental such as CO2, high water, low temperature, and smoke. Owner/Operator Darren Hossack said their new main focus on security will be to have the security system also act as a money/energy saver for your house, or business, by actually lowering the thermostat and turning lights off when the alarm is set for away arming. It will also lock your door and send notification signals to your phone when this happens. They also can have the main water line shut off via one of their RF controlled valves when any kind of water is detected where it shouldn't be.
