Crucial Factors to Consider
 When Choosing a Home
      Alarm System
Home security is one of those topics that literally could
have life-saving results in the right situation. All
homeowners have the responsibility of keeping their
own property safe and secure, and utilizing high quality
home alarm systems is one way to do that.

When choosing home alarm systems, there are many
different factors to consider, and some of them will
determine whether your system is at the top of the pile
or at the bottom.
Professional Installation
It all starts with the installation. The best way to ensure
you have a system that is armed and ready to go when
you need it, is to have it professionally installed.

Look to a company that has a lot of experience
installing home alarm systems so you know it will work if
the need arises. The best system in the world is
absolutely useless if it isn’t installed properly.
Round the Clock Monitoring
Since burglars, thieves and home invaders aren’t on
any specific schedule, it’s important to have a home
alarm system that is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.

With round the clock monitoring, you can feel
comfortable at any time of the day and whether you are
home or not.
High Decibel Siren
If someone does gain access to your home, you want
them to know that they aren’t welcome and should
leave immediately. A high decibel alarm is enough to
scare off most intruders because they know they’ve
been found out and help is likely on the way.

If a loud alarm isn’t to your liking, you might also
consider a voice response system, where technicians at
the alarm company actually speak to the intruders.
Instant Reaction
For ultimate protection, you want to look at home alarm
systems that react instantly when the alarm is activated.
 That means a phone call or email to you and a phone
call to the police or fire department.

When the reaction is immediate, the likelihood of
catching them in the process of a burglary increases
dramatically. It also gets the fire department to your
house faster if there is a fire.
Lawn Signs and Decals
One of the small but effective touches that high quality
alarm companies provide are lawn signs and decals for
the windows. It’s common for burglars and thieves to
watch a home for a period of time before they actually
try to gain entry.

If you are advertising that there is an alarm system on
board, they may just take a pass and try somewhere
less risky.
Full Perimeter Protection
Most homes tend to have at least three separate points
of entry, and you want your home alarm system to
cover all of them.

When all the points are fully armed and ready to go, it
doesn’t matter how someone tries to get in. The
response will be the same for each one and you can
rest easy.
Easy-to-Use Controls
Sometimes, home alarm systems seem as though they
require an engineering degree just to work the controls.
Look for a system that has a basic touch keypad and
controls that are easy to use.

Ideally, you want to be able to arm or disarm the system
easily, and contact the police, fire or ambulance with
just one touch. The less complex the controls, the less
you have to remember and the smoother the whole
system will run.
