burglar alarm faq’s
-
A home burglar alarm system is a security system designed to detect unauthorised entry or intrusion into a residence. It typically consists of sensors, a control panel, and an alarm.
-
The system works by using sensors placed on doors, windows, and other entry points. When these sensors are triggered by motion or forced entry, they send a signal to the control panel, which then activates the alarm, alerting the homeowner and potentially notifying a monitoring service or authorities.
-
Common types of sensors include:
Door and window sensors
Motion detectors
Glass break sensors
Shock sensors
Infrared sensors
-
While they can act as a deterrent, burglar alarm systems primarily serve to detect and alert homeowners of break-ins rather than prevent them entirely. However, visible alarm systems may discourage potential intruders from attempting to break in.
-
It depends, many off the shelf home burglar alarm systems are designed for DIY installation. They often come with straightforward instructions and are relatively easy to set up. However, professional installation is required for any high quality systems such as any we supply at Secure Home Systems.
-
Some home burglar alarm systems offer monitoring services for an additional fee. With monitoring, when the alarm is triggered, a monitoring centre is notified, and they can then contact the homeowner and/or emergency services if necessary. Speak to us about monitoring today.
-
The reliability of a burglar alarm system depends on various factors, including the quality of equipment, installation, maintenance, and monitoring. Well-maintained systems with professional installation tend to be more reliable, such as ours at Secure Home Systems.
-
Some off the shelf motion detectors may be sensitive enough to detect pets, particularly larger ones, which could potentially trigger false alarms. However, our systems offer pet-friendly sensors that can distinguish between pets and intruders.
-
Yes, our home burglar alarm system manufacturers offer warranties on their equipment. Warranties typically cover defects in materials and workmanship for a specified period, which can vary depending on the manufacturer and model.
-
Beyond the initial purchase and installation, there may be ongoing costs such as monitoring fees, maintenance fees, or fees for additional services like remote access or smartphone integration.
