Home Security-Low Cost Alarms That Work


For many people their home is their biggest investment. In 2006 the mean value for a property is expected to be $231,000. And needless to say everyone has insurance on their house. Everybody has insurance on their car as well. But more people have sensors for their car than their home. How can that produce any sense?

A lot of people associate home security sensors with high ticket home security systems, home security alarm systems or home security monitoring that may cost $70 per month or more. I recently heard of a new security company in New Mexico that's choosing ex police officers only because truth be told the response time from the police department was method to slow to react to alarm calls from members. Checked security systems are effective no question about this. The question is-is there a good way to safeguard your house without sending one to the poor house.

Demonstrably there's a spot where cost becomes prohibitive. Each situation differs for sure. Depending on the risk level of the area in which you reside many low cost security alarm devices can do the job just as well as the high priced toys. Remember the aim is to stop a burglary-keep the intruder from intruding.

Recently in Colorado Springs a lady was saved from an uncertain fate by an intruder looking to get into her house. She was awakened in the centre of the night time by her barking dogs. Now I am not suggesting that everyone get a dog because quite frankly plenty of dogs are not fitted to this anyway. But let us look at some low priced alternatives that work.

The simplest and least expensive are security alarms activated by opening a window or door. A decibel alarm goes off If the alarm is activated. Other methods using infra-red technology detect activity in a room and set off an alarm. Just one more device sets of a practical screaming dog sound when activity is sensed from 30 feet away through doors and walls. The screaming more frequent and gets higher because the intruder approaches.

One more system that's a broader appeal is a movement triggered annunciator system that could detect movement from 1000 feet away and "lets you know" when someone is approaching in your driveway, back yard or patio. A floodlight can be triggered by this system when it senses movement in a selected place. It can check up to six areas.

There are numerous security alarm sensors available that'll perform the job efficiently without breaking the bank. Why have a chance with such a important investment. There are numerous choices available-one needs to be right for the home.
