Types of Alarms to Protect Your Home
Selecting the best security solution starts with understanding the different systems and how they match your property’s needs, insurance requirements, and budget. Here are some key points to consider:
- Insurance Requirements – Most importantly, check if your insurer has specified a particular grade of alarm or monitoring level, if you’re unsure let us know what your insurers have specified and we’ll design a system for you.
- Monitored – A monitored system is connected to an alarm receiving centre who monitor the system 24/7
- Bells Only – These types of systems only sound locally when activated.
- Self Monitored – Most systems these days have an app associated with them so you can be alerted via audible push notifications of alarm events
- Wired, Wireless or Hybrid – Choose between traditional wired alarms, flexible wireless systems, or a hybrid solution that combines the benefits of both.
- Police Response – With Monitored systems we can apply for a URN (unique reference number) to your local force for them to respond to alarm activations
- Integration Options –Consider integrating your intruder alarm with a CCTV system for a fully connected security solution.
By assessing these factors we can help you choose the right type of system that will provide the perfect balance of security, convenience, and value for your property.
