Burglar Alarms and Home Security

Basically, a burglar alarm is a deterrent to break-ins and intrusions into your home. When somebody breaks into your home, the burglar alarm gives off a loud high-pitched sound that alerts the homeowner and neighbors which normally scares away an intruder. Well and good if the intruder runs away. But what if for some reason, he panics and barges into one of the rooms in your house where you or your loved ones are peacefully asleep? A dangerous and potentially life- threatening situation could quickly develop especially if the intruder is armed. A burglar alarm monitoring system can help prevent this situation by alerting police and security authorities who could quickly send units to your residence to help secure the safety of your home and family.

The moment an intruder breaks into your home, the burglar alarm monitoring system sounds off the siren, takes control of your telephone system and sends out a distress call to your security call center. Upon receipt of your system’s distress call, the call center gets in touch by telephone with the homeowner to verify that the distress call is not a false alarm. Upon determination that a robbery is indeed in progress, the call center accordingly notifies the police station and provides details about the location of the break-in.

Most burglar alarm monitoring systems are equipped with their own power source like an internal battery so that even if there is a power interruption, as in cases of hurricanes or when the intruder intentional cuts off your power lines, the system will still be operational. The battery charge levels of the burglar alarm monitoring system is continuously monitored by the security call center which notifies the homeowner in case the system’s battery charge level changes drastically and needs to be replaced.

Some burglar alarm monitoring systems are fail proof even when the telephone lines are down because they are equipped with their own internal cellular phone unit which is programmed to dial up the call center and issue a distress call in case of a break-in. Burglar alarm monitoring systems are more expensive not because of the extra features of the burglar alarm unit itself, but mainly because of its capability to alert and request for police assistance. Despite the extra cost, no amount is too high a price to pay for your peace of mind, the security of your home and the safety and protection of your family.
