Burglar or intruder alarms will stop burglars from entering your house. Burglar alarms can help protect your belongings, occupants and lower your insurance premiums.
It’s always a great idea to display a burglar alarm box and alarm bell at the front of your home to act as a deterrent to immorally minded individuals.
When burglars are targeting properties the majority of them are opportunists, seeking for the lowest risk property to enter. This is likely to be a property without an intruder alarm.
Types of Intruder Alarm.
Bell only alarm
A bell only burglar alarm makes an audible sound from the outdoor and internal bells when the alarm is triggered. A bell only, or audible alarm may deter intruders and alert the neighbours and when activated but does not produce any other type or reaction.
Speech Dialler Alarm System
A speech dialling alarm system enables a burglar alarm system to send voice communication to any number of land line telephone numbers or mobile phones. This message can be personalised. In the occurrence of activation the alarm will call the phone number, or numbers that you have selected and deliver a voice message such as 'Attention there has been a break-in'. This is type of alarm is especially useful for small business premises and shops.
A speech dialler can usually be added to most alarm systems as an additional piece of equipment or bought in a combined system.
Monitored alarm
A monitored alarm system is linked via a phone line to a remote central station. The signal is monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In the event of the alarm being activated, a number of responses which you have chosen can be triggered such as informing the police and the property owner.
A monitored alarm system service starts from around £20 per month, plus an installation fee.
Panic alarm
A personal attack alarm or panic alarm is activated by a button commonly positioned in a bedroom. In the event that the home owner feels threatened, it can be activated to trigger the burglar alarm system and based on the kind of alarm, can inform the police, a speech dialler or a third party selected by yourself.
