Did you know that the security system does not stop a thief from breaking into your home? If someone wants to enter his house bad enough, they will find a way to do it. Thieves are aware of the different types of systems and how they work. They are also aware of how to get around. There are basically two types of security systems at home.
One type, called a monitoring system alerts a central notification center when the alarm is triggered and this center, then check with the homeowner to see if everything is fine calling. The call center is alerted via telephone wires. A smart thief locate the telephone wires outside to be exposed and cut. Thus, the information center is never alerted, and the thief is free to enter the house. One of the disadvantages of having a monitoring system is that even after the alarm has been activated, it gives the thief time to keep getting in your house, steal some valuables and escape without being detected. This can happen because usually once the alarm is set the security company expects about 30-45 seconds before contacting the owner by phone to receive the correct password. To wait so long for the homeowner to turn off the alarm if it is a false alarm. If the company fails to receive the correct password or the phone does not answer, then contact the police. By the time police arrive at least 1-2 minutes has passed. An experienced thief can be done with a number of valuables in that short period of time.
The other type of alarm systems which make a loud siren like noise inside and outside the home of alert neighbors. These are called systems without control. The responsibility to contact the authorities then relies on its neighbors. With this type of alarm system, it is best to also include flashing lights so people are well aware that the alarm is coming. The advantage of having this type of system is that the thieves often become discouraged when the sirens and lights start blaring. Its aim is to enter and exit with the loot without being noticed. This is really hard to do once the alarm is triggered. A disadvantage of this type of alarm is that residents must be home and willing to participate by calling the authorities. This type of alarm is also not for those living in an isolated area of ??the field or whose neighbors are not nearby.
If you are still interested in installing an alarm system in your house there are some things to consider when investigating right for you.

Ask about their selection process for installers. Installers must have a criminal background check completed on them.
