ADT Alarms – Home Security-Low Cost Alarms That Work
For most people, their home is their biggest investment. In 2006 the median price for a home is predicted to be $231,000. And needless to say everybody has insurance on their house. Everybody has insurance on their car also. But more people have alarms for their car than their home. How does that make any sense?
Most people relate home security alarms with high ticket home security systems, home security alarm systems or home security monitoring which can cost $70 a month or more. I just lately heard of a new home security company in New Mexico that’s hiring ex police officers just to respond to alarm calls from members because to be honest the response time from the police department was far too slow. Monitored security systems are effective, no question about that. The question is- is there an effective way to protect your house without sending you to the poor house.
Obviously there is a point where cost becomes prohibitive. Each situation is different for sure. Based on the risk level of the area in which you live many low cost home security devices will do the job just as well as the high priced toys. Keep in mind the objective is to prevent a burglary-keep the intruder from intruding.
Recently in Colorado Springs a woman was saved from an uncertain fate by an intruder trying to get into her home. She was awakened in the middle of the night by her barking dogs. Now I’m not suggesting that everyone get a dog because quite frankly a lot of dogs are not suited for this in any case. However let us look at some inexpensive alternatives that do work.
The simplest and least expensive are security alarms activated by opening a window or door. When the alarm is activated a 110 decibel alarm goes off. Other systems utilizing infrared technology detect motion in a room and set off an alarm. Another device sets of a realistic barking dog sound when movement is sensed from 30 feet away through doors and walls. The barking gets louder and more frequent as the intruder approaches.
Yet another system that has a broader appeal is a motion activated annunciator system that can detect movement from 1000 feet away and “lets you know” if someone is approaching in your driveway, back yard or patio. This system can trigger a floodlight if it senses movement in a designated area. It can monitor up to 6 zones.
There are many home security alarms available which will do the job efficiently without breaking the bank. Why take a chance with such a valuable investment. There are many choices available-one needs to be right for your house.
