Buglar alarm systems come in many different types. Some, such as bell-only alarms, just ring when it detects an intruder. These are the most installed but rely on someone hearing the alarm and calling the police for the intruder to be caught. However, if you live in a low crime area, it may be worth saving the cost of a monitoring system, as just the presence of a burglar is often enough to deter a burglar. If this does not seem like enough peace of mind, a dialler burglar alarm can be a good alternative. If this alarms, 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 increased security, smart-home systems can be added. These send updates via an app to the user’s mobile phone. Though highly customisable and secure, these are more 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 inform 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 costliest. 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 visually pleasing. However, this comes at a cost, as these alarms are normally more expensive and batteries are required for all components.

How do home security alarms work?

Home security alarms discharge their duties following a simple concept - ensuring all entry points into the building are secured. This is done through the placement of sensors at all possible points of entry. These sensors, in turn, detects all possible breach in security and relays the information to either the control panel or the command centre situated somewhere in the building.

The usual spots where the sensors are installed includes the doors, windows (especially the easily accessible ones at the ground level) and any other possible entrance into and from a house. Meanwhile, motion sensors can also be incorporated to secure the open spaces inside the home.

Here are the important components of a home security alarm:

• The Control Panel. This basically controls the entire security system. It can activate or deactivate the alarm by communicating with all installed components. In the event whereby there is an intrusion, it automatically triggers the alarm and raises the awareness of an alarm monitoring company. It normally comes with a touchpad which allows for easy interaction and settings to activate/deactivate the alarm system. The control panel can also operate on voice commands and can be set to work using key fobs (also known as wireless remote controls).

• Door & Window Sensors. These comprises two parts which are to be placed in adjacent positions to each other - on the door/window and the door frame or window sill to generate a security circuit when the door/window is shut.

• Motion Sensors. These sensors are used to protect an open space which cannot be breached without the alarm going off.

• Surveillance Cameras. Think of them as the ‘eyes’ monitoring the secured zone. They come in both wired and wireless configurations and can be remotely accessed on Smartphones, Tablets and PCs.

• High-Decibel Alarm. Alarms often serve two great functions. They are often loud enough to alert both occupants and nearby neighbours, but also shrill enough to send the intruder running.

• Yard Sign & Window Stickers. They may actually act as a marketing medium for alarm companies, but they are also sending an indirect message to potential intruders telling them to reconsider their intended illegal activity as the property is professionally protected.

What is an intruder alarm system?

The simplest definition of an intruder alarm system can be gotten from its name. Basically, it can be referred to as a method or means through which a property is protected against intruders via a system of interconnected devices and components which alerts or notifies the owner or monitoring station whenever there is a violation.

The intruder alarm system is an integrated electronic devices network which works together and features a central control panel which keeps the facility secured against all potential home intruders.

An intruder alarm system, typically, features the following:

• Control Panel - Primary controller of the entire system.

• Interior and exterior motion sensors

• Security cameras, either wired or wireless

• Sensors, for both doors and windows

• An alarm or siren

• Window stickers & yard sign.

Depending on the security needs as well as budget, the intruder alarm system can be a simple one suitable for the basic protection of a home, or a more advanced one which does not only protects the facility but also goes a long way to make the users’ life a lot more comfortable. The later can perform a plethora of great functions in home automation such as access controls, and heating and lighting control. With the features of the property in mind, alongside the investor’s security needs and future expansion possibilities, an intruder system installation company can help select the best option for the home or property.

What’s more? The intruder alarm system’s manipulators or interface devices are modern touch panels that have been designed not only to showcase its visual appeal and intuitive operation, but also to ensure the smooth and easy control of the whole system by storing maps of the property on memory cards. And to the delight of both investors and potential investors, the system can also be controlled directly from mobile devices or PCs which features the necessary applications and internet connection.
