Getting a security system installed is a big decision. Many people understand the general concept of a security system but still have a lot of unanswered questions. Let’s review some of the most frequently asked questions about security systems so you can make a well-educated decision! 

What Does a Home Security System Include? 

Home security systems vary slightly from one to the next, depending on the customer’s budget and the size of the home. In general, a home security system includes two types of monitoring. Perimeter monitoring devices are placed on all windows and doors that alert if the perimeter is opened. Interior protection that’s motion-activated can be added, so you’re able to know when someone is in your home and see who it is. Cameras are often added around the perimeter as well. Your home security system will also come with a control panel, access to a monitoring app, or both. This is how you can arm, disarm, and monitor your home’s security. 

Can I Use the System When I’m Home? 

Yes, home security systems can be used when you’re inside the home. Turn the system on when you lock the doors before bed, and you’ll be protected even in your dreams! 

What Happens if the System is Triggered? 

If the system is triggered, a loud alarm will start to go off. The security system servicer can connect to the design and voice-threaten an intruder while 911 services are dispatched. If you accidentally trigger the system, you can disarm it. The security system servicer may contact you to double-check that the system was mistakenly activated. 

Is a Security System a Good Investment? 

Yes, security systems are a significant investment! The cost of the security system seems trivial when you consider the fact that it could save your life. Having a security system deters intruders and gets help to arrive sooner if an intruder enters the home. Your home will be monitored 24/7, even if you’re out of town. Anyone and anything inside the house is well worth the cost of a security system! Contact your homeowner’s insurance company if you’re looking for more proof that a security system is a good investment.
