Selecting Suitable House Alarms

The cost of buying a house alarm is a factor that most people consider first. And, whilst no two installations are alike even for the same house type, having something rather than nothing will certainly act as a deterrent to would-be burglars.

If cost is a major factor, it would be worth installing a base system that can be added to when appropriate.

House alarms usually have a base system comprising:

• Central control unit 
• Remote Keypad
• Door Contacts
• One or two PIR's (designed to detect movement inside a premises)
• An External Alarm box

There are then many additional components that can be added to the system including:

• Glass-break detectors
• CCTV Monitoring
• Auto notification to you via Text
• Auto notification to Police or monitoring station...

...to name a few.

To be fully effective the design needs to take into consideration room type, e.g. does it have many windows, room shape, are there Pets in the house, type of furnishings etc, however please don't let that stop you adding a basic system as a starting point.
