Nearly 4 years ago I had someone try to break into my condo. It was in the evening and the I had the lights off, but I wasn’t asleep. I heard a noise at the back door. I ran into the den and flipped on the outside lights. It scared the burgler and I saw him run off. . I then called a couple burglar alarm service in my city and they all came out to give a quote and explained to me the installation and monthly fees. I suggest you call a burglar alarm system installer to get your questions answered. Most companies run a free installation special, so inquire about that too.

I crawled into the living room and switched on the outside lights. It scared the burgler and I saw him high tail it out of there. (I assume it was a him). I then called several alarm service in my city and they all came out to give a quote and explained to me the installation and monthly fees.

If you’re looking for a suitable house alarms, there are a few things to watch out for. This information, together with our basic, should help you to find a suitable one.

There are several things you can do to increase the security of your home. A security house alarms is a great option, since they can alert you to anybody trying to get into your home or just entering your property. There are several security house alarms available that vary in function, price and quality. There are door alarms, driveway alarms, wireless alarm kits and hardwire alarms and kits available. The type of alarm that you get depends on your budget and your security needs.

Its a great idea to put a dog leash out on your front & back porches. If a potential burgler thinks theres a possibility of a dog, they’ll usually move on to the next house. My mom has done this for years!

Get the timers for your indoor lights, you just need to put them on a few of your lights. You can also plug your TV or radio into them so they will go on and off in the evening.

The signs are a big deterrent to break ins - burglaries. A lot of people make the mistake of putting them just in front of the house. This does work well because burglars who are smart and patient will case a home before intrusion. They will pass by anything they know has an alarm on it. Unfortunately break ins and burglaries are also attempted by not so smart thieves and dumb opportunistslooking for a quick buck. In fact most burglaries and break ins are “spur of the moment” type crimes.
My answer is to get the little signs… place them at various points around the home and especially at the main entrance. Stickers on windows are good too. Pretend you are a thief and it’s 4 am and you are going to break into your home. This is the best way to see where your home may or may not be lacking some sort of deterrent. More motion lights? More shrubs? Trim a tree? etc….
Also thinking ahead and with the technology the way it is consider a video monitoring device that you can access off site of your home. With cell phones, lap tops, pda’s etc more and more people are utilizing wi-fi video to watch over their business and employees.
The price for most equipment can range from 100.00 and up and as long as you have internet at your home you will be able to access the cameras from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection.
Good luck hope this helps.

they have detector lights that are activated on motion and they work very well and are very reasonable to buy

No. There are several companies that give a free alarm system but you pay the monthly fee. You can’t expect the people that buy your house to agree to pay off the contract that is under your name…you are responsible for that.

Both Slomin’s and Brink’s systems are pretty basic and as far as I can tell the only real difference would be price.

If your building a big home you may want to look into a security system that can also be used to control the lighting, etc.

Only 1 suggestion… DONT use wireless cameras.

Most wireless security cameras use the 2.4ghz band to communicate - therefore it’s trivial for someone to jam or even tap into these cameras - all it takes is a receiver and a TV (they all use the same frequencies so the receiver doesn’t even need to be the specific brand that you bought - any will do)

i use protection one.never had a problem getting help if i need it.
i hope you will also pay to have the company monitor my home. then your protected all the way around

brinks, i use it in my home, they have many options and arent that expensive

gaurdian, i use it for my homes

Most RE purchase contracts have a section that deals with security systems or satellite dishes. Since they are relatively inexpensive, I’d leave the system in place as a selling point, and the new owners can assume the remaining terms of the contract. Check with the security company about how this is accomplished, some charge a ridiculous fee to transfer service to a new owner.

If it is wired or attached to the house, you CANNOT take it with you…it is part of the real estate.

This is the same issue for satallite dishes.

Just because your company does it doesn’t mean it flies in a real estate contract.

In all honesty, taking it with you would be generally more hassle than its worth. Alarm installation is getting cheaper and cheaper these days. So it may be more monetarily feasible to have a new alarm system installed when you reach your new intended destination. You will end up with a new alarm that may not have the limitations of the old one. The contract should be transferable to the new owners of the house and could indeed be a selling point in this day and age.

nah…you should get a new one wherever you move to…
plus you’ll get charged for moving so whats the point in paying extra..??
and it’d be better because if someone buys it they may want the alarm included!!
