How Home Security Works And Why Every House Needs Protection

By Adriana Noton


Most people do not care how home security works, they simply want to be protected in their residences from intruders, and receive help in case of an emergency such as a fire. The fact is that house invasions are on the rise, and people are being assaulted, robbed, and even murdered in their houses. The prudent property owner takes steps to protect his family and his house from intruders, and thieves.

Some alarms are silent in nature meaning that when activated the alarm alerts a command center but does not produce an audible sound. Other alarms are both silent and audible in the sense that the alarm silently alerts the command center personnel while at the same time sounding an audible wail or bell. Most burglars are frightened off when they think they have been detected, which is why the audible alarm is a good choice if one wants to scare off burglars.
Some people think that their family dog is all the alarm system needed in their house, but these people should rethink this idea. Dogs can be easily distracted by a large steak, and if the meat is filled with tranquilizers, the dog will be useless. Some people believe that having a firearm is better than an alarm system, but this is untrue.

It is almost impossible to wake up from a sound sleep and use a firearm safely and effectively in the dark. A firearm should not be used as a deterrent against intruders because one can mistakenly shoot a family member in the dark. Connect the alarm power pack to an independent electrical circuit so that it is not easily disabled.

If the alarm is connected to the main electrical panel, an experienced burglar can break into the control panel and cut off the power to the alarm. Choose a company that has a local monitoring center rather than a company with monitoring centers outside one's locality. If possible, visit the monitoring station and meet the guards on duty.

Choose a service that has certified guards manning the monitoring station who are trained to follow company procedure when a distress signal is received. There are different procedures for different companies, some call the police, while others send out armed guards to the residence if a distress signal is received. Some companies first place a call to the residence in order to find out the nature of the problem.

Some companies in addition to alerting police send an armed response to the home, that is, the company's guards are licensed to carry firearms. When the alarm is activated, someone from the service will call the phone number listed on the account. The

When the alarm is activated, someone from the service will call the phone number listed on the account. The person answering the phone will be asked to give the password.

If the person on the phone is unable to give the password, the guard will inform the person on the phone that the police have been dispatched. If the burglar answers the phone, he certainly will not wait for police to arrive, he will leave in a hurry. Knowing how Home security works is important, but many people do not care how it works, only that they are protected.
