With the increase in the crime rate in the last decade burglar alarms have become a popular household item. These are house alarm systems that are used to detect unauthorized entry into a house or a building. House alarms use an array of sensors, interconnections and an alerting system operated by a control panel, to detect intruders, by various methods like door and window contact monitoring, ultrasound, infrared motion detectors, vibration and electronic or magnetic fields. Home burglar alarms are an effective crime deterrent, because once the alarm gets activated the burglar will hardly still linger around.
House burglar alarms may be simple ones with 2-4 sensors, which can essentially distinguish between the movement of humans and pets, a touch or a key pad, a control unit, with preferably a battery backup, in case of power failure and an internal or external siren. Basic burglar alarm systems are usually built into the doors and windows and other entry points of the house. More sophisticated house alarms, though will cost you more, will come armed with a wider range of features, like setting the alarm off in certain parts of the house, glass break detectors etc. House alarms sometimes come with perimeter detectors, while some others come with panic alarms which can be activated remotely. A burglar alarm system may also be of indoor or outdoor types depending upon your requirement. Once the burglar alarm system gets activated an alert is sent to the monitoring center either though a physical phone line or via a wireless medium.
Any reliable house alarm system will cost you anywhere between £500 and £2000, though you can spend extra for additional features. It is a better idea to get one installed from an already established burglar alarm company, even though it may cost you a tad more. Some house alarms combine a fire and a burglar alarm system together while some others combine the alarm system with CCTV camera for better surveillance purposes, and thus not only keeps your home safe but also gives you peace of mind.
The question becomes “What type of burglary system do you want?” versus “Should I have a security system?”
Wireless intruder alarms, or wireless burglar alarms only need batteries to run. The actual control panel for the systems needs to be near a power outlet. The dialer part of the system needs a phone line to work, but the recent advances have made it possible for some systems to run off a cell phone SIM card. This is a great feature because one of the first steps a burglar will take is to cut the phone lines and disable an alarm system.
With wireless alarm systems, it isn’t necessary for an installer to come out and drill holes to wire your home.
If you are in a rental property or planning to move in the near future, keep in mind that wireless alarm systems are totally portable. Also, because there are no holes drilled for permanent installation, property owners won’t object to you using them in your rental unit. If you move to a larger property, you can add additional sensors and detectors for more protection. Wireless alarms are installed without the need for holes being drilled and wires being run throughout the house. Wide ranges of protection are available from the simple deterrent to the more advanced protection features. It depends entirely on your budget.
Wireless burglar alarms are virtually hack proof and often a much less expensive alternative to hard wired systems.
Perimeter protection alarm systems are designed by taking into consideration the various entry points your home possesses such as doors and windows, and then protects these areas by means of special motion sensors and alarms. The main control panel for the entire system is usually located in a secure location.
One of the basic pieces of equipment used in perimeter protection systems is known as a glassbreak detector. This is a small, round device that is installed directly on the window. This device works by being able to detect the vibrations caused by breaking glass. There are also glassbreak detectors that can be installed on the ceiling or wall which are especially effective in rooms that have several windows.
Another important component used in perimeter protection systems is an outdoor motion sensor. In order to be effective, this device should contain a speaker system that is able to broadcast to any potential intruder that their unwanted presence has been detected. In addition, the system should have the ability to distinguish between an animal or vehicle and a person. This eliminates the possibility of false alarms. A strobe light and loud siren are two other elements that can be added to make this component even more effective.
Don’t wait until an intruder has entered your home to sound the alarm. Eliminate this threat completely by installing a perimeter protection system today. The well being of both your family and home depend on it.

False Alarms
The police are not thrilled about responding to false alarms. Using policed response alarms basically takes away the likelihood of the police being sent to your property on a false alarm. The offsite monitoring of your property entails a rigorous identification and assessment process, by professionals charged with the responsibility of deciphering the level of threat and dispatching the response team.
Alarm companies use their security monitoring center to verify the legitimacy of an alarm before calling the police. Exceptions to this process are in the case of holdups, duress and panic alarms. A verified alarm response typically involves visual on-scene verification of a break-in. Remote video surveillance and audio intrusion technology may also be used in the verification process.
For policed response alarms, the security company may also conduct in-person verification by sending out private security personnel to the location to assess the situation, then contact the police if necessary. The requirement for security alarm monitoring centers to screen alarm activations allows police responses to be reserved for true break-ins and other criminal acts against the person or property.
