Standard Home Alarms
What does our standard home alarm system consist of?
We can offer wired or wireless alarm systems, although we find most homeowners opt for wireless as they're equally as secure as hard wired yet much neater, quicker and less disruptive to install, which is often reflected in the price.
Wired or wireless, all our alarm systems are a professional grade (minimum Grade 2 -- unlike those found in most large DIY stores) and consist of, but not limited to, the following components:
Main control panel
This is typically installed in the centre of the house, somewhere like an understairs cupboard or out of the way. It's the control panel's job to communicate with all the detection devices on the system. The control panel also has a built-in speaker to alert you through voice commands the status of the system.
Remote keypad
The keypad is typically fitted in the entrance lobby, or somewhere on the entry/exit route. This is where you arm (when leaving) and disarm (when entering) your home. You can arm/disarm the alarm system from here using a 4-digit pin code or swiping your key fob up to the proximity reader built into the keypad. Our keypads also have a built in panic button should you ever need it.
Motion detectors
Our motion detections, the little white units in the corners of the room, detect movement through passive infrared (movement of body heat). We can also supply pet-friendly versions, if you have cats or dogs and dual-technology motion detectors for harsher environments such as a summer house or garage.
Door/window shock & contacts
Door/window contacts are fitted to entry/exit doors as well as other vulnerable doors and windows. These detect vibration/shock as well as when the window or door is opened and closed. The door contact on the entry/exit door will typically initiate the entry timer when entering the home, allowing the homeowner a pre-set time to reach the keypad to unset the system.
External siren
The external siren acts as a visual deterrent as well as a fully functioning 105Db siren to alert neighbours and scare off intruders, when your alarm system is triggered. If you live in a remote rural area without close neighbours we can also offer professional alarm monitoring solutions.
