ACSS Can Supply And Install A Home Alarm System
A home alarm system is an early warning system. It does not make it any harder for a criminal to enter your house, but when the alarm sounds, you are warned that there is an intruder the moment they try to gain entry. A home alarm system may make use of a combination of closed circuits and motion detectors. Whatever the type of alarm you want to install at your home, ACSS can help.
What with our high crime rate in South Africa, a multi-pronged approach is needed when it comes to alarm systems. Perimeter security is very important, and may take the form of an electric fence. The alarm system may be linked to the fence, activating the siren when there is a fence breach. In addition, motion sensors may be used in the garden around the house, in areas through which an intruder would have to pass to gain entry to the house. These motion detectors may use radar-based technology or PIR (passive infrared) technology; the latter detects the intruder’s heat signature. Lastly, CCTV cameras may also be installed outside the house, but this would require a permanent security service on the premises to monitor the image feeds.
Inside the house, sensors are installed on doors and windows. They operate on a closed circuit principle and the alarm will sound if any of these circuits are broken. There are also glass break detectors available that can activate the siren when a window is broken.
However, all this effort comes to naught if you do not periodically test your home alarm system to ensure that it is fully functional. Contact ACSS today if you need an alarm system.
