With conventional intrusion detection equipment, it is possible to combine detectors to enhance the security of your home. For example, you may use sensors to ensure the proper safety of glass windows by identifying shocks and acoustic signals. Alarm systems usually offer this type of detector in their alarm kits.
Security Systems
A security system should take into account all intrusion detection equipment, whether they are equipped with wires or not. An electronic signal control also allows some detectors to analyze the direction of the movement of an intruder, to deliver safer alerts. Any decent alarm system also can combine detectors. Also, increase your peace of mind with a smoke detector from ADT.
It should be noted that there are also motion detectors specially designed for outdoor use to detect an intrusion before it is even useful. Also, if the price and quality are equal, it is recommended to have a dual-band alarm, only because in case of problems of interference on one frequency, the alarm will use the other frequency to communicate with the elements of the system.
Home Automation
Check for the possibility of home automation. This can be useful for turning on all lights in an emergency. Remember that what is sufficient for another house or building is not necessarily good for yours.
It is, of course, possible and often advisable to install additional internal and external sirens to enhance the deterrent capability of the system. Remember, you may be insured, but no insurance company will be able to return images, files, and objects of sentimental value that are damaged or stolen.
Also, door sensors should consist of two parts that are connected by a magnet. When buying an alarm system, do not just buy what’s popular on the market. Also, a keyboard should be placed near the bedrooms, and be manually triggered, in a case where an entry has not been detected by the alarm system.
Wireless Interference
Most alarm systems are subject to strict regulations. According to the rules, wireless alarms are forced to transmit on a few frequency bands. One of the bands used is the one used by all conventional home appliances (gates, garages, tv remote controls, etc.). The widespread use of this frequency band can, in rare cases, make it subject to interference and disturbances.
Finally, you have the option of modifying and adapting your system as you wish, mainly depending on the evolution of your family and your needs. Also, be careful if you make adjustments to a siren, as repeated untimely triggers are likely to disturb the neighborhood which can lead to complaints and legal proceedings.
