Burglar Alarms
You need to take measures to protect your home against those who would plunder it, such as burglars.
Remember to have properly installed solid and secure windows and doors, enough to deter the average burglar. Test your home by locking yourself out and seeing how difficult or easy it is to find a way in.
Many break-ins can be averted. A number of whole house alarm systems are available today to be tested, checked and tuned up regularly.
Most systems have a failsafe battery back up, which needs checking and replacing at regular intervals, at least twice yearly. Follow the manufacturers instructions for maintaining and checking these features at specified intervals.
Most systems have a keypad for indicating system operation and point of intrusion and a horn or siren installed indoors (in the attic) or outside under and overhand or eave.
Before installing an alarm, check with local law enforcement agencies to see if any restrictions or special agencies to see if any restrictions or special ordinances apply to alarms in your area. A good option is to have your alarm monitored by a central reporting agency.
