Home Security SystemsThe main concern of a home security system is to protect your family from a possible threat or intruder. Home alarm monitoring systems (when armed) are set up to call the authorities when a sensor is tripped. Sensors are typically placed on all exterior doors and windows. You can also have motion detector sensors installed and of course a smoke or fire sensor can also be installed to alert the local authorities in the event of a fire. You and your families exposure to a threat is greatly reduced when the alarm siren is activated. Most often once the alarm siren is sounded the intruder will leave. Studies have shown that most intruders rely on an unannounced approach and that once there presence is known they flee the area.Why is it best for the Security Alarm Monitoring Service to call before they dispatch the police?Home security alarm systems can be set up to immediately call the authorities; however, in most cases it’s best to sound the siren and have the monitoring service telephone the residency. If no one answers or an improper password/code word is given, the local police department is immediately dispatched to your home. This procedure, although increasing response time slightly, reduces the false alarm rates to your local authorities, which in turn increases their confidence in the system and, in many situations, actually reduces their response time. If you cry wolf too many times the local authorities will eventually loose confidence in the system and naturally their response to your alarm will slow. In some cases, you may even be charged for false alarms if they become repetitive.False alarms soon become a thing of the past!Accidentally setting off the alarm occasionally happens especially in the first week or two after a new home security system has been installed. False alarms are almost a given in a home where children and pets are involved! In 99% of the families we deal with false alarms quickly fade away as the families adjust their habit patterns to include their new home security system! Reducing the number of false alarms is critical for the overall efficiency of the system. Unless your away on vacation, families usually choose an instant alarm to not only alert the central monitoring station but also to inform neighbors who would possibly call the authorities as well. A concern for any home security system is that the intruder will find access to the phone lines and cut them, thus disabling your connection to the central monitoring station. In case this happens, the Safe and Sound security system provides, along with the standard devices of the system, a backup component that is activated if the phone lines get cut. Either a cellular or radio backup system will signal the central monitoring stations informing them that the phone line was disabled. There is also a backup battery to keep your security alarm working efficiently in case you lose all electrical power. Protecting your family is the number one concern and goal of owning a residential or home security system. The alarm system can be configured to immediately trip an alarm and scare the intruder away while alerting the local police to the scene as necessary. Call now and start protecting your loved ones and valuables. 513-398-4300What is a Security Alarm System?Alarm systems are composed of a series of devices connected together with wires (although a wireless security system is just as reliable and can even cost less when considering installation) that detect unauthorized entry, fire (smoke), distressed personnel (which is activated by the “panic” button on the control panel) and many other potentially harmful situations. An alarm monitoring system sends a signal to a central monitoring station when an intrusion is detected. These nationwide monitoring centers provide continuous service (24/7/365) and will alert local police and dispatch authorities to your home. In order to set up a home security system or a security alarm system for your home or business, all you need is a standardized phone system. VOIP (internet phone) works just as well as your traditional phone line.What if I don't want to run wires through my walls?You can then select whether you want a hard wired security system or wireless security system. You can easily add a monitored alarm to your pre-existing wiring, but a wireless system can keep wires out of sight and can be installed without disturbing your home or work area. Each alarm monitoring system features a set of standard equipment that protects your home or business and helps prevent serious theft and damage. These devices include control panels, security keypads, motion detectors, door and window contacts, glass break sensors and sirens. These components work efficiently together to provide maximum security to your home or business. Alarm systems are composed of a series of devices that detect unauthorized entry, fire (smoke), distressed personnel (which is activated by the “panic” button on the control panel) and many other potentially harmful situations. |
