How do intruder alarms work?
An intruder alarm is used to detect whether an unauthorised person has entered your property. Using sensors, the alarm detects movement or if a door or window has been opened within a building. A loud alarm is then sounded which helps to draw attention to the property and the intruder.
More advanced intruder alarms are directly connected to the police, who can provide a quick response to try and apprehend the intruder.
What are the benefits of installing intruder alarms?
An added layer of security
An intruder or burglar alarm provides instant alerts which allow you to react quickly if someone has broken into your home or commercial property. More sophisticated alarms can also incorporate a police response which adds another layer of security.
Acts as a deterrent
An intruder alarm can be a very useful tool for helping to deter trespassers and criminals from your property, whether it’s commercial property or your home. The physical presence of an intruder alarm system and the possibility of triggering a loud and repetitive alarm will make any trespasser think twice before entering a property.
Peace of mind
If you’re concerned about your property being damaged or burgled whilst you’re away from the building, an intruder alarm can help bring peace of mind. Knowing that there is an extra layer of security when you’re away from work or home can help to ease stress.
Many intruder alarm systems now allow you to remotely monitor whether your property has been broken into, which allows you to react if such an event happens.
How long will the intruder alarm ring in the event of an activation?
Under current standards, an external sounder can only ring for 15 minutes to avoid any nuisance to your neighbours. An internal sounder will ring for 30 minutes before the system automatically resets itself.
How long do I have to enter my code when I enter my property?
When entering the property you will usually need between 15-20 seconds to reach the keypad and unset the alarm system. The maximum amount of time allowed by the current standards is 45 seconds.
Can I set my intruder alarm when my dog is left at home?
Pet-tolerant detectors can be fitted meaning that an alarm can be set without a small pet activating the system.
