It is absolutely not funny to return home from a holiday or even an evening out only to find an empty shell, one called home. With crime rates and burglaries on the rise, the police are alarmed enough to advise residents to install home surveillance and alarm systems. Certainly, not all your valuables including the life of your loved ones are covered by insurance. Precious heirlooms, for instance, which are worthless commercially or to another person are really priceless possessions to its owner.
Uncomplicated yet sophisticated technology
Installing a good quality surveillance system is not as intimidating as it sounds. It really is a piece of cake. Installing standard alarm systems takes all of four to six hours and it’s good to go. If it is for a new home, no worries we will still need only a few hours to install the entire alarm system. There will be very neat cabling done through the roof so the cables wouldn’t bother anyone even. In fact, the cables are camouflaged in such a way that they are discreet.
Top considerations when looking for a home electronic surveillance:
One of the first things to consider is the size and structure of the home to decide what kind of alarm systems would be best. A typical single-storey home would need a wired surveillance system, which comes with the following features to ensure safety of the house and belongings.
Hardwired movement detectors (PIRs)
Story 1x Internal siren (piezo)
Power pack & backup battery
LCD Keypad
Cables & connectors
24 Months WARRANTY on all parts
A large independent house would need to scale up so that a large surface area is covered by alarm systems.
These should have the following features:
Tamper switch
Line movement detectors
LCD keypad
External classic or Slimline siren with blue strobe
Internal siren
Power pack & backup battery
Cables and connectors
24 Months WARRANTY on all parts
A really large three-storey home would need more comprehensive alarm systems with the following features to ensure safety at all times.
Alarm panel with tamper switch
Wireless movement detectors
Hardwired movement detector
Remote controls
LCD keypad
External classic or Slimline siren with blue strobe
Internal siren
Power pack & backup battery
24 Months WARRANTY on all parts
Next in line is the range for apartments, small offices and shops, with no roof cavities. These comprehensive wireless alarm systems come with some amazing features as well.
WIFI Alarm Pack
WIFI Panel
Pet Immune PIR
Reed Switch
Remote Control
Last and not the least is the system designed for buildings without roof cavities. This is also a wireless system which features.
WIFI Control Panel
Indoor WIFI Camera
Door / Window Contact
Remote Control
And finally, some general “good to know” information about the system in use and what needs to be done for general maintenance. Almost all the alarms mentioned above have a long-lasting battery back up that will last up to five years. The alarm system can be kept entirely armed or partially disarmed. Accessories like movement detectors, panic buttons, window or door sensors and even smoke detectors should always be kept on, which can later help alerting the owner of house when triggered.
Set up the alarms now and have a good night’s sleep, leaving all your worries on the automatic alarm settings that record everything in your premises.
