Home Alarm Systems & How They Work

With home invasions and theft on the rise, investing in a reliable home alarm system offers peace of mind when you need it most. Not only is it a smart way to protect your family’s everyday safety and security, they are also easy to install and operate.

From CCTV Cameras, Access Control Systems to Intercom Systems, Lockrite Locksmiths provides a range of suitable alarms to suit your requirements  – delivering maximum protection 7 days a week, 365 days of the year.

 

So, what exactly is a home alarm system?

A home security system is an electrical device that is monitored through a control panel, almost like a live TV screen – giving you access to ‘real time’ viewing of current events. It is one of the most effective tools used to protect homes/businesses from unwanted intruders or suspect behaviour that may be lurking around.

One of the main benefits of installing an alarm system is the ability to instantly alert you and your neighbours that a problem is taking place. A high-pitched alarm is quite effective at sending a burglar running for their life  - and as far away from the scene as possible. Alternatively, we supply and fit Bosch and Hills alarms that can be connected to your router, notifying you via an app on your mobile phone when the alarm is set off. If the area you live in is unsafe or you simply want an extra buffer of protection from unwanted intruders, a home alarm system delivers on its promises.

 

How do I get started with a home alarm system?

Installing a home alarm system is a relatively simple process, however to ensure correct wiring and installation is performed, we highly recommend using a professional like Lockrite Locksmiths for the job. Given the wide variety of alarm systems available and our experience with them, we can provide you with the right system for your needs.

 

Whether you’re after an access control system for your front door (keypad system), a video intercom system that allows you see who’s at the front door or CCTV surveillance, we have a range of different options to suit your security needs – including Bosch, DSC and Hills Reliance alarm systems. You can choose to automatically connect to your homes Wi-Fi network or alternatively if you prefer to use an external Alarm Monitoring System, it’s advisable to let the security company know, giving them ‘real time’ access to your alarm device from home.

 

Let’s finish off with some of the reasons why a home alarm system is a great idea…

 
Peace of Mind

Given how unsafe the world can be at times, installing an alarm system can really take the edge off, giving you that extra peace of mind should you be away from home for short or long periods of time. Having a securely fitted alarm/security system will go a long way towards easing that anxiety and fear – providing you with much needed comfort should the unexpected happen.


Protect Your Family & Loved Ones

The protection of your family is clearly one of the biggest driving forces when it comes to making a decision to install an alarm system. Whether it’s keeping your children safe from burglars or protecting your beloved pets from harm, a professional security setup provides a visible deterrent in emergency situations. Furthermore, your alarm system can also be connected to your local fire or police station, notifying them of an emergency break-in or emergency situation 24/7.


Lower Insurance Premiums

Have you ever wondered why insurance companies ask if you have an alarm system at home? If your insurer is aware of an existing security system on your premises, you may potentially pay a lower premium, simply because the chance of a break-in is significantly reduced. This ultimately saves you money over the long term and gives the insurer an extra buffer of protection against paying out damages.
