The idea of an intruder alarm is to simply try and deter a potential burglary occurring at your premises, and to an extent it works a treat. After all if your house is alarmed and another house just up the road isn't then yours is a lot less likely to get targeted.

A burglar does not want any attention, he just wants to get in with as little fuss as possible take what ever he wants and leave to go on to the next target, if he triggers an alarm system it could obviously ruin his entire day, noise is his worst enemy because it attracts attention.

Details of Intruder alarms

An intruder alarm consists of a combination of detection, control and signaling devices. Every part of this equipment has been developed to fulfil a specific task within the system. The components are strategically placed in the building to be protected, in such a way that you can count on their constant, reliable and disturbance-free functioning.

There are basically 2 choices to when choosing an alarm system

Choice 1. Audible only:
The alarm sounds at the premises only. Response is reliant on somebody contacting the police to report it. Many forces have a policy whereby they will not attend audible only alarms unless there is additional evidence to suggest a crime is being committed, in other words they are not likely to attend unless someone reports a visual sighting or noises such as glass breaking.

Choice 2. Monitored:
The alarm sounds at the premises and a signal is sent to an alarm receiving centre via your phone line, mobile network. The ARC will contact your nominated key holders or the police* (see standards page for more info)

There is also the options of Hard wired or wirefree systems

Option 1. Hard wired:

Can be more reliable and cheaper than wire free, but takes longer to install. Most commercial alarms are wired

Option 2. Wirefree:

Easy to install but more expensive than a wired system. Used mostly in homes or small business premises.

Top technology

Police will respond to a monitored alarm when an alarm-receiving centre notifies them. However, from October 2001 newly installed monitored alarms must also use "confirmation" technology to receive a police response. Here, people at the alarm-receiving centre check using either CCTV (to see an intruder), an audio connection (to hear an intruder) or something called "sequential confirmation". Sequential confirmation sounds a bit complicated, but basically this means detecting an intruder using sensors in a number of different places in or around you home - to spot if someone is moving around.
