Tips to Buying a Home Alarm System

• Decide if you want your security system monitored or just a loud alarm to startle and ward off any intruders.
• 85% of burglaries are through doors and not windows. Make sure your doors are monitored
• Do you want to install a security system yourself or hire a security company? Home security systems are usually sold at a discount when you purchase the monthly monitoring from the company. If you plan to have a monitored system is best to let the company install it for you.
• Most break ins are at the rear of the home so make sure your back doors and windows are monitored.
• Do you want more than one control panel? Perhaps you need one by the entrance and one in the master bedroom. It is more convenient at night to just set the alarm from your bedroom.
• Make sure the system you choose has all of the features you want. Do you want just a burglar alarm or do you want it to monitor carbon monoxide, smoke, heat, temperature and water sensors?
• If possible test the alarm. Make sure it is loud enough. Many sirens/alarms are very low and not that effective. If necessary buy a louder siren.
• You might consider motion sensors for your larger rooms. Make sure they are high enough so they are not triggered by pets.
• Should you go wireless or hard wired. Hard wiring requires holes to be drilled which can potentially be messy or ugly. Most hard wired system were installed at the time of home construction. You may be better off with a wireless system.
