Types of alarm systems

Doorbell cameras and intercoms

A doorbell camera setup allows you to see who is outside your front door and communicate with them without opening the door.

Electric current alarms

Electric current alarms are usually installed on windows and doors. When the window or door is opened, the alarm goes off.

Motion sensors

Motion detectors can be placed inside or outside and allow an alarm to be triggered before an intruder enters the home.

Security cameras

Security cameras can be motion activated and the video streamed to your phone, so you can see potential intruders immediately.

The advantages of high-quality alarm systems

Alarm systems may not be needed very often, but when they are it’s very important that they are reliable. By choosing a higher quality product, you can be reassured that the alarms will have been properly tested to set standards before sale.

Higher quality alarm systems are also often connected to a manned central security system, which can respond to an alarm at any time of day or night. This ensures that even when you are away, someone is there to protect your home when the alarm sounds.

How to choose an alarm system that’s right for you

Security alarms serve two purposes. Firstly, they protect your home. Secondly, they provide a peace of mind that allows you to sleep soundly knowing that any intruder will be detected, or to go on holiday with the knowledge you’ll come back to an undisturbed home.

If you live in a secure neighbourhood, you may only need a doorbell intercom system. If you live in a more isolated or crime-prone area or feel nervous at night, it might be worth investing in a full setup.

What should be included in a home alarm system?

Visible security cameras are always a good investment as they will help deter potential burglars and may also lower your insurance costs. A doorbell camera and electric current alarms can provide significant peace of mind.
