Types of burglar alarm systems

The first thing to decide is whether or not your burglar alarm system will be police linked. Police linked home alarms are monitored by a private central station 24 hours a day. When activated the burglar alarm system automatically informs the monitoring station, which then notifies the police on a dedicated line. This type of home alarm is suitable for isolated buildings, or where you would prefer not to rely on the assistance of neighbours.

An audible only home alarm will be cheaper in the long term, but relies on the good will of your neighbours. Thieves may be scared off by the noise of the home alarm.

A common problem with both types of burglar alarm systems is the occurance of false alarms which result in a lack of credibility. Police may withdraw reponses to your burglar alarm system, and neighbours may choose to ignore an audible alarm.
