Burglar or intruder alarms can inhibit burglars from entering your building. Burglar alarms can help protect your goods, occupants and lower your insurance premiums.
It’s always a great idea to put on show a burglar alarm box and alarm bell at the front of your house to act as a deterrent to criminally minded individuals.
When burglars are targeting homes most of them are opportunists, looking for the lowest risk house to enter. This is liable to be a house without an intruder alarm.
Types of Intruder Alarm.
Bell only alarm
A bell only burglar alarm makes an audible sound from the external and interior bells when the alarm is triggered. A bell only, or audible alarm may deter intruders and alert the neighbours and when activated but will not produce any other type or reaction.
Speech Dialler Alarm System
A speech dialling alarm system makes it possible for a burglar alarm system to dispatch voice communication to any number of land line telephone numbers or mobile phones. The message can be personalised. In the occurrence of activation the alarm will call the telephone 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 more often than not 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 joined via a telephone 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 usually placed in a bedroom. In the event that the home owner feels threatened, it can be activated to trigger the burglar alarm system and depending on the kind of alarm, can alert the police, a speech dialler or a third party selected by yourself.
