Today's Burglar Alarm- Advanced Technology That Protects Your Home From Intruders
Home burglar alarms have been proven effective in preventing break-ins. Since most burglars are looking for an easy target where they can get in and out quickly, they usually avoid homes that indicate the presence of an alarm system. Those who do attempt to break into these homes are scared off 75% of the time, before they get a chance to enter.
Burglar Alarm Technology Gives You an Advantage Over IntrudersToday's burglar alarms, whether inexpensive do-it-yourself units or professionally installed whole-house systems, are all built around the same design. They don't need to be complicated to be effective; in fact, many simple and cheap alarms work surprisingly well.
Burglar alarms are electrical circuits, activated by the opening and closing of the circuit. Basically, any activity that triggers the circuit, such as the opening and closing of a door or window, causes the alarm to sound. Because of this simple yet effective design, a burglar alarm is a basic feature of most home security systems.
A burglar alarm can be placed in any room, and in strategic areas around the outside of the home. A security professional can advise you as to the best placement for your alarms. Windows, doors and even floor mats can have burglar alarms placed on or under them. Motion detector burglar alarms can sound an audible alarm, flash lights and/or auto-dial emergency services. In whole-house systems, alarms are monitored by a central control box that routes all alarms to a monitoring center.
