Alarm System Recommendations
Installing a quality alarm system for your home or
business, and using it properly, can effectively improve the
security of your property. 'Quality' does not necessarily mean
the most expensive, either. When researching alarm companies,
look for those that offer the following:
A homeowner thinking about having an alarm system installed
should consider the following options:
- Sensors for all exterior doors, including pedestrian
doors on the garage and the door leading from the garage
into the home
- Glass breakage/shock sensors for ground-level windows
- Motion detectors for the interior of the home
- Control panels installed at the most commonly used
entrance and in the master bedroom
- Panic buttons which summon police / EMS / fire
- Keychain fob, similar to a car alarm remote, to activate
and de-activate the alarm
- Smoke / fire sensors
Another good source of information concerning alarm
companies are the many consumers' publications that compare
goods and services. Look for a good apples-to-apples
comparison from a third, independent party.
