There is an old theory that the neighbor will hear the alarm and will summon the police in case of a break-in. In today's society, people are more on the go and not at home as often as in years past to notice disturbances that occur in their neighborhoods. You can monitor a portable panic button, med alert, a freezer or even a wine cellar. With this type of monitoring system, the exact area of break-in within your house can be detected. Even if you have purchased an alarm system from another security company, it can easily be converted to another customer monitoring center with very reasonable monthly rates for service.
Burglars attack homes without electronic security three times more often than homes with a system.
Maybe you're ready to invest in a home security system. A good system covers the entire perimeter of your home and at least one internal trap. It alerts you and lets the intruder know he's been detected. The size and layout of your home must be taken into consideration when designing the overall system. Smoke and fire detection equipment should also be taken into account.
