Let an alarm company protect your homeProtecting your home and family from intruders should be one of your top priorities. While a boxed alarm system could provide basic protection, it likely isn’t enough to deter savvy criminals. By working with a reputable alarm company, you can get the right level of protection you need to keep your family and possessions safe. An alarm company can provide different equipment to keep your home secure. Window contacts and glassbreak sensors will thwart intruders from breaking in. Motion detectors note any movement in the house when there isn’t supposed to be anyone home. And control panels communicate with all the devices and allow you to arm and disarm the system with a passcode. But the true benefit of working with an alarm company is that they connect you with a central monitoring station that watches over your home 24 x 7 x 365. If an alarm is triggered, the central monitoring station quickly dispatches authorities to the scene. Without this service, alarm systems are just pieces of equipment. Instant Vendor ComparisonSelect the vendors that you would like to compare What to look for in an alarm company Each alarm company should visit your home to assess every room you want to protect – just make sure they schedule an appointment first so you know you can trust them. Don’t consider any company that doesn’t visit your home first. You need them to determine where the equipment should go, take note of the number of doors and windows you have, and check if you’re a better candidate for hard-wired or wireless systems. Let the alarm company know which system features are most important to you. If you have pets, you probably want motion detectors that allow them free movement without tripping the alarm. If you like to let fresh air in, make sure they install special contacts that allow you to keep the windows open 6 to 12 inches and still set the alarm. Also, find out what options they can offer to control your system from the outside. While you need to punch in a passcode when entering and leaving the house, key fobs will let you control the system with the push of a button. You could also use key fobs to trigger a panic alarm if you feel you’re being followed. Since the central monitoring station is such an integral part of your purchase, make sure the alarm company provides you with as many details as possible about the service – where they’re located, the background of their agents, and their average response time to emergencies. The monitoring station doesn’t necessarily have to be located in your state to be effective, but if it is, it might be worth visiting the facilities to see how they operate.
