Alarm Systems

  • Alarm systems only work after your home has been broken into; ensure your doors and windows are secured.  Alarm systems are designed to both deter and detect intruders.
  • Basic security systems will consist of perimeter and space protection.
  • Perimeter protection uses door and window contacts which detect openings.
  • Space protection uses motion detectors which detect movement.
  • Choose a system with flashing strobe lights - this will help draw attention to your home.  
  • Check your alarm systems motions sensors on a regular basis to ensure they are in good working order.
