| Monitoring your alarm system |
| One of the most important aspects of this is that your alarm system must be monitored. The most cost effective way of accomplishing this is to use a remote monitoring service, who automatically monitor your burglar alarm. Should the alarm be triggered, the staff at the monitoring service can access the system. By using microphones built into the alarm components they can determine if the alarm is genuine and then alert the police. In the event of an alarm you can even have the system send a text message straight to your phone. |

| Which system is best for your home? |
The wide range of burglar alarm components available means that there are always choices on how the system is built. One of the most important new technologies in the world of burglar alarms is wireless (or wirefree) systems, allowing most installations to be carried out in a single day.
Use of lithium batteries means that the components will run for up to five years before the batteries need to be changed and the reliability of wirefree technology makes these systems easily the equal of their more traditional counterparts. Wirefree is definitely the way to go if you have a larger premises, especially one with multiple buildings (such as a farm). |
