Does your residence need a home burglar alarm? Two hundred forty burglaries occur each hour in the United States and more than sixty percent of them take place in residential areas.
Home burglar alarms come in a variety of styles which make them suitable for almost any home and budget. For large homes with many different entrances a professionally installed hard wired system may be the best home security solution. Smaller houses and apartments may be adequately secured by wireless home burglar alarms.
Wired home burglar alarms are among the most expensive residential security systems. They require both expert installation and ongoing monitoring service fees. The installation may also necessitate supplemental telephone wiring and/or cutting into the home?s walls. In addition, the home owner may want to consider having existing telephone wiring placed underground as a safeguard against alarm tampering from the outside. All home burglar alarm systems which use telephone wires for monitoring and notification of the fire and police departments should have a back up system in case of intentional interference or an accidental power outage.
Wireless home burglar alarms are less expensive due to reduced set-up fees. In fact, some wireless systems can be installed by the home owner. Wireless systems can be monitored or not. Some monitoring companies offer free wireless equipment to customers who buy service packages from them. Other wireless burglar alarms rely entirely upon sirens and/or flashing lights to frighten a burglar off and to alert occupants, neighbors and law enforcement.
Whether a home burglar alarm is an elaborate wired system or a simple sirens and lights configuration there are several items which should be considered. First, make sure that the unit is capable of covering all of the zones required to safeguard the home. Most home burglar alarm keypads secure eight zones. A zone encompasses any one area such as a door or a window. Second, all home burglar alarms should be redundant. If they operate off of a telephone line, there should be an emergency back up via cell phone or radar. If the home burglar alarm operates off of batteries, there should be a back-up battery and a low battery power notification. Third, burglars need to know that an alarm is in place in order for it to operate as a deterrent. Make sure to prominently post signs and stickers advising that the house is protected by a home burglar alarm.
