Families are aware simply from the examples seen on the evening news that the world can be a harsh and violent place. The home has always been considered a sanctuary set apart from the way the rest of the world conducts itself. It is supposed to be a private place of safety and security where members who live together as a family in the home can be at ease.
The purpose for security alarms is to give advance warning to danger or intrusion. Modern home security alarms are advanced to the point of allowing a homeowner to have sensors and other equipment installed in less than a day. The installed system can greatly improve overall protection of a home. There are sensing devices available to detect fire, smoke, carbon monoxide (CO), environmental temperature changes, water leaks, door and window opening or closing, glass breakage, movement and many other things.
Installing a basic security alarm involves acquiring at least one smoke/CO detector, door and window sensors for at least every first floor door and window, and one infrared camera for the front door. It used to be sufficient to just install door and window sensors on the first floor, but minimum recommendations have changed due to risk assessments of modern homes. Some experts recommend sensors at every window and door as part of minimum protection.
Though it is not absolutely necessary to connect the system to a panel that dials out to a monitoring center, it is a good idea to acquire a system that will at least send a voice or text message to a cell phone. Having the system dial out to a 24-hour monitoring center is better because the center is always staffed 24-hours a day with professionals who can send the appropriate help depending on what sensor or sensors have been activated.
An audible siren is necessary to alert all family members of an alarm condition. Smoke/CO detectors need to have a siren built into the device to be heard at their installation location as well. Wireless systems are by far the easiest to install or have installed because individual cables or wires do not have to be run to each sensor. The sensors have a long-lasting replaceable lithium battery that powers a transmitter that communicates with a centrally installed alarm panel.
A basic wireless security alarm can be installed in a few hours on a typical family home. It will give advance warning of intrusion or other emergencies such as fire with a way to see who is at the front door by watching the camera feed on the living room TV. The products of high-end government security just a few years ago is now available to homeowners at very reasonable cost.
