Home Security System Installation

Modern Burglar Alarm Systems — TheTechEdition

Investing in the security and protection of your home or business is a move that makes good financial sense, especially with today’s modern burglar alarm systems.

Unlike older burglar alarm systems which could be difficult to use and time-consuming and expensive to install, a modern system offers improved ease of use and simple installation procedures that can have your investments protected in a short period of time. Modern burglar alarm systems are also highly sensitive, avoiding the “false alarms” that were common with some older burglar alarm systems.

Today’s burglar alarm systems use advanced sensor technology to determine when a legitimate break-in has occurred, issuing an immediate alarm signal to a central monitoring location that receives the alarm and dispatches security personnel or alerts local law enforcement agencies to respond to your location.

Unlike “live” security personnel, burglar alarms never take a break or call out sick, and offer uninterrupted service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Many modern burglar alarm systems offer sophisticated and powerful battery backup systems to keep them active even during power outages, or when power or phone lines may be cut by intruders. And using burglar alarm systems is simple: most systems are activated and inactivated by a series of numbers that comprise your unique pass code. In addition, most burglar alarm systems allow manual override using your code, if the alarm is accidentally tripped by you or your authorized personnel. Training employees to use the system is also simple, usually requiring less than an hour. Some installers offer a quick training tutorial following installation of burglar alarm systems.

Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security just because your home or business is located in a low-crime area. Burglars and other criminals understand how easy it is for business- and homeowners to become complacent in these so-called “safe” areas, and often target these neighborhoods as a result. And don’t be taken in by alarm systems signs that are not attached to actual burglar alarm systems: burglars and other criminals know that trick as well, and will check for other signs of a system’s presence even when a sign is visible.

Intruder alarm transmission systems poised for growth

Consumer appetite for security is growing. Estimates supported by the British Security Industry Association ( BSIA ) suggest that the annual cost of crime to UK businesses - not including crime at domestic premises - has now topped £19 billion. And although government statistics show no statistically significant change in crime levels year-on-year, the public's fear of crime is increasing. This is causing some home owners to consider, for the first time, the installation of a security alarm system. At the same time, home and small business owners with alarm systems are being encouraged to review their existing protection.

In the past, a simple and inexpensive solution for a low-to-medium risk premises would be a ‘bells-only' alarm system. However, since the introduction of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO)Security Systems Policy, home and small business owners with bells-only alarm systems find they are in a Catch-22 situation: police will no longer attend bells-only alarms. Instead, they require actual evidence of a crime in progress; yet police advise members of the public who might be tempted to investigate a bells-only activation not to put themselves at risk.
