As we welcome September, summer in the City of Santa Ana is winding down. Still, there is no shortage of activities and events on the community calendar.

The month of September is one of many, very exciting months to enjoy in San Francisco. As summer comes to a close, you definitely don't want to spend those precious days at home, understandably so. There are a ton of activities to partake in and what's even better is that during the month of September, Goldstar offers a variety of tickets to San Francisco events, tours, and other activities at up to half-off the full retail price. Some of the exciting events include but not limited to; Night Segway Tour, where you can cruise around the streets of SF on a Segway and don't worry, if you have never been on one, you'll be allowed to get comfortable with it first. However, if you're not into that type of cruising, there's a more relaxing way to do so. You can find yourself on a 2 hour Golden Gate Champagne and Mimosa Cruise, where you'll get breathtaking views of Fisherman's Wharf, Fort Mason, Fort Point and the oh so famous Golden Gate Bridge. Tickets to both of those events are currently up to 50% off. Whatever your taste, San Francisco will always have something going on that'll be right up your alley.

Every time you turn around, ADT Pulse is making technological advancements for the industry. It keeps you thinking, "What's next?" Will they find a way to tell your coffee maker that you just woke up and need coffee? What if your ADT Pulse system adjusted the thermostat based on your GPS coordinates to take the chill off before you walk in? Well those are just two “recipes” for automations being tested out with IFTTT.

The Evolution of Wireless Home Security 

By far one of the coolest and most convenient features of an ADT Pulse System is using modes. Modes take all the individual capabilities of your ADT Pulse System and create a series of actions that happen with one command.

ADT Pulse camera catches burglar on video and the Walnut Creek Police Department ends up catching the suspect. The combination of video from surveillance cameras and social media are helping to catch thieves and put them behind bars.

As a local security company, it is always great to hear when burglars are caught. Because security cameras have become so affordable with security systems like ADT Pulse, more and more homeowners are getting home security cameras installed. With the ability to spread the word through social media, the videos are now being used to catch the burglars.
