Buglar alarm systems come in many different types. Some, such as bell-only alarms, simply ring when it detects an potential burglar. These are the most popular but rely on someone hearing the alarm and taking action for the intruder to be caught. However, if you are in a low crime area, it may be worth saving the cost of a monitoring system, as just the apperance of a burglar is often enough to deter an intruder. If this does not seem like enough protection, a dialler burglar alarm can be a suitable alternative. If this goes off, not only will the alarm sound, but you or a family member will be notified. Additional detectors can also be used to detect floods or fires. However, if none of your nominated callers are available, or you have too weak a mobile signal, then the system is not better than a bell-only alarm. For even more security, smart-home systems can be installed. These send updates via an app to the user’s mobile phone. Though highly customisable and secure, these are very expensive. Also, as with the dialler system, it will not work properly without a strong connection. If signal is likely to be an issue, then a burglar alarm monitoring contract can be taken out. This will either contact the police, or a nominated keyholder, if there is a break-in. If neither can be contacted, the company itself will come to check the property. Though the most secure of all the systems, it is also the most expensive. Then, there is a choice between wired or wireless alarms. Wireless systems use battery powered sensors to communicate with the main panel, and arguably are more aesthetically pleasing. However, this comes at a cost, as these alarms are normally more expensive and batteries are required for all components.
