What if the sensor that you installed in your home, stops working? You won’t know unless and until there is an emergency situation because we don’t pay attention to a security system, once it is installed.
When a homeowner seeks the services of Kansas City Home Security Systems, he should make sure that the equipment is of quality and is working.
There are some special and some common equipment, which are installed by home security companies.
Door Sensors
Door sensors are the most commonly used equipment, in a home security system. Door sensors are installed on the front door, back door and side door. It alerts the homeowner, whenever someone opens the door. If the alarm is not on, then the owner would hear a chime; otherwise, a siren will activate, sending a signal to the owner.
This siren would indicate that someone who isn’t authorized to enter the house, has broken in. If the individual is not an intruder, then he would know the passcode, and there is usually a few seconds time for the person to punch in the passcode.
Pet immune motion detector
A pet immune motion detector doesn’t detect pets, 80 pounds or under. If there is no pet immune motion detector, then as soon as your pet passes the sensors, it will trigger the alarm and that could become a headache. The detector is designed in a way that, only when a person crosses the path, the alarm would be triggered.
LCD Keypad
The LCD keypad should be of good quality because that is what the client needs to punch in the secret code. There are several other necessary buttons on this keypad; panic button, police and medical emergency buttons are also included. Such keypads are always accompanied by a chime, which rings thrice when a door opens. This can be a good way to keep track of little children, and those who have Alzheimer’s.
Indoor Siren
When a family sleeps at night, they usually switch on their alarm. If someone breaks in the house during night time, then the indoor siren would go off. These indoor sirens are so loud that, there is no way people in a room or in the house would miss it.
Emergency Buttons
Usually, when a security company comes to install the security system in a house, they place emergency buttons in rooms as well. The buttons are installed in rooms, which are used frequently. This way, if an emergency situation arises, then the person in that room will have easy access to the panic button. This will alert the security agency right away.
Glass Break Detector
This detector is installed near a glass door or a glass window, which is in the front. The equipment uses a microphone to detect when a glass shatters or break. The monitor detects the sound and vibration, but only above a certain threshold.
Outdoor Siren
The main objective of an outdoor siren is to make sure that that a break-in doesn’t go unnoticed. An outdoor siren usually has a high decibel voice, which neighbours and nearby people can hear. This siren will also frighten the unwanted intruder because it is extremely loud.
These equipment and their quality are very important. When Kansas City Home Security Systems provide someone with a service, then would make sure that the client gets the best equipment. Each and every person in the house, who lives there on a permanent basis, should know about the code of the house. They should also know, which rooms have panic buttons and if they are easily accessible or not.
