Updated: Nov 26

We all have been in a situation at least once in our lifetime, where we felt that getting a signal of this event happening could have been saving us from such unwanted robbery and crimes. If you are lucky, you might have not met with such situation. Having a system or a device which pass on the signal at the beginning of any unwanted situation is a blessing and this will help you to control the situation in advance. Any unwanted situation is controllable if you know it at an early stage. This system is going to act, as a warning device will help you warn about a situation.


Types of Alarm Systems you can have


Before you determine which alarm systems can be the best one for your property, let us discuss about the different alarm systems available in the market. There are three main categories of alarm systems to serve your need.


Fire Alarm Systems are one of those three main categories that make you aware whether you are at a risk. This system detects the smoke and instantly warns you about the risk. You can use such alarms in your property and use the sprinkler to control the first level of fire.


Burglary Alarm Systems are one that works when you are sleeping. You will get an alarm when an intruder tries to enter your office during the off-hours. Even this system will work in home when you are gone on long tour. Your next hiking trip can be more peaceful than before with this alarm system installed at home.


Intrusion detection system built with advanced technology that helps to make your life easier. Imagine you have security control room and you do not want any intruder entry to that room. This system is going to help you track or control the entry of visitors to that room. Whenever any person is trying to visit that room with unauthorized access, you will be aware about that upfront to restrict that entry.

Are these systems worth paying for?

When you are planning to buy any alarm system for your home or office, you are definitely investing some amount from your budget. No investment comes without a return attached to it. So, while you decide to install such system, remember that it is not a onetime investment. It will come with a recurring cost and you will get peace of mind in return. If you have children or elderly persons at your home, these systems or devices are worth paying for.


While we say that the alarm systems are worth paying for, we suggest that you go for monitored alarm system.


If you have monitored alarm system, you do not need to rely on anyone else. Usually when we are away, we request our neighbors to keep an eye on the alarms. However, there can be situation where these electronic devices do not work as per the expectation. But, you can choose an advanced mode and integrate the alarm system with your Smartphone. You will get the notification on your mobile when you are not in home.


This system helps to minimize noise complaints happening due to false alarms in your system. People, who have monitored system, are the ones who get lesser complaints as all alarms are assessed by centre. Post assessing the centre decides whether it is a false alarm and takes necessary actions.


Houses with monitored system are safe from buglers because they will not attempt your property once they find such security alarm in your home. This is definitely the best system you can opt for your home as no activity gets unnoticed by the monitoring centre. As this is difficult to break in, burglars will not consider giving it a try and get caught red handed.


Remembering the cost in mind, people tend to use dummy system to misguide burglar. However, if you are thinking of putting false fire alarms, take a note that you might face legal issue while claiming insurance. So, it is better to keep your property and family protected by an alarm system and you can easily install such alarms with your DIY tools. You can integrate your alarm system with your CCTVs and Smartphone too.
