Most people are very concerned about their safety when at their residence. Unfortunately, it is no longer enough to ensure that one has a house in a good neighborhood. Home security solutions, including installing burglar alarms can monitor homes to ensure one has a warning of intruders.
Most of these systems allow the occupant to operate them in an armed or unarmed position. The unarmed position basically means the system is turned off. When armed, the unit is continually monitoring doors and windows for intruders. The system is switched from an armed position to an unarmed by entering a number into a keypad during the short delay after opening a door.
Systems have a trigger mechanism attached to the doors and the windows of the house. These mechanisms detect each time the door or window is opened. In businesses, it is common to have motion detectors or light beams. When someone is moving in a room and breaks the light beam, a warning is sounded. However, in homes these features are less useful as systems are often armed when occupants are present and moving about in the rooms.
Usually the systems are designed to alert a monitoring company that then contacts the police. The alert may be sent through phone, internet or in some other method. Most systems are designed to create a loud, continuous noise to alert the occupants of the building and scare off intruders. Less expensive models may only make the loud noise without alerting anyone on the outside.
Most systems are considered reliable. Some have a battery backup that allows them to continue providing protection in a power failure. While phone lines were once the primary way systems contacted the monitoring service, today, units may use the internet, cellular or other wireless technology.
Home security solutions can make homes safer. They can be configured to the occupant's needs. They sound an alert to keep you safe.
