Burglar Alarms & How They Work

Burglar alarms are security alarms that are designed to detect trespassers or break-ins. They are the first line of defence against an intruder by alerting the owner of the building that there is an intruder.


There are a range of burglar alarms that you can find, such as wired & wireless alarms, as well as monitored & unmonitored alarm systems. You can read more about these on our website.


Burglar alarms work in a variety of ways, however typical systems usually consist of: 


●    Sensors - Strategically placed, they detect unusual activity and trigger the alarm.

●    A control panel - The control panel receives signals from the sensors when an intrusion is detected.

●    Keypad - This will likely be the way that you arm or disarm your security system.

●    The alarm/siren - The siren or the alarm is the part that is activated to alert everyone in the house about the intruder. 


Benefits

These are some of the key benefits you can experience from installing a home security system.


Peace Of Mind

Knowing that your property has security and protection can provide you and your family with the peace of mind that you deserve.


Deterrence

If your security system is visible, it can act as an effective deterrent to burglars or potential intruders, as they will be put off by your security system.


Emergency Services

Some security systems alert emergency services in the event of a break-in or an emergency, which can give you more security and help you feel safer.
