Back in the olden days, there was not such an excessive need of home security. However, today, most family members are working and away from home most of the day, Therefore, a good home security and alarm system is the need of the day. Here are just some of the home security alarms which will ensure a peaceful night to you and your family members.
One of the most popular ways of secure homes is the alarm system. There are various alarm systems available for all types of homes. The smoke alarm is considered to be one of the simplest home alarm systems. Though the smoke alarm is not as strong a system as the others, it works well if the burglars are dumb enough to smoke in the house.
Some of the most complete home security systems consist of components which enables the user to contact the police, the nearest hospital and any emergency services required.
There are two types of Home security systems: monitored and non-monitored systems.
Most systems work on a compound of contact points and motion sensors placed at doors and windows A classic home alarm system includes: Control Panel, Inside Motion detector, Contacts, Keypads, Glass Break Detectors, Pressure Mats and Panic Buttons.
A monitored system is especially useful for isolated homes and/or those with valuable contents. It provides daily around-the-clock security by linking your property to a monitoring station via a telephone sometimes offering a choice of landline or mobile or using a wireless radio network. A monthly or annual fee is charged for this service, in addition to the alarm system’s installation costs.
The most common type of system uses a control panel to monitor zones in the home: when a door or window is opened, a bell or siren sounds and rings regularly until it’s switched off.
Such a system solely relies on that noise to scare off any would-be thieves and/or attract the attention of a neighbour or passer-by to call the householder or police before too much damage can be done or anything is stolen, and to silence the alarm.
