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.
