Unfortunately, the days of leaving the keys in the front door of your house in Australia are long gone and has been replaced with a society of people, who just don’t trust others anymore. It is sad to see, but it is just a result of progress and the increasing populations that we have in cities like Perth. There are many ways to increase security in and around your home, but there is one that stands out from the rest and gives you added security in real time. It is the alarm system and there are many to choose from.
There are many house alarms in Perth to choose from. You can pick an alarm that is there just to make a lot of noise if someone enters, but isn’t connected up to any monitoring device. Then, there is the all singing, all dancing alarm system that does everything for you. It monitors the inside and outside of your home with movement sensors and new alarm systems come with a wireless internet camera, so you can keep an eye on your home, even when you are not there. Some alarms even allow you to talk to the intruder via a speaker system. There are a number of good reasons why you should install an alarm and we will look at some of them.
- It Protects Your Stuff – We have many highly valuable items within our homes and your car is one such example. Then there are the watches and jewelry, television, gaming systems and laptops. That is a lot of stuff to replace if you do get robbed and it is a lot of paperwork to go through with the police and the insurance company. Your alarm is your first line of attack and will put off most would be burglars.
- Discourages Crime – Government figures suggest that the more homes in a particular area that have alarms installed, the less likely homes in that area will be burgled. Even for the houses that don’t install an alarm system, there is the acceptance by burglars that your home is probably alarmed and they will move on to easier pickings. Having an alarm installed protects both you and your neighbours.
- Ongoing Remote Access – Modern alarm systems allow the owner of the house to remotely monitor their homes from a distance. As long as you have internet available, then you can log into your system and check if an alarm has been triggered accidentally. Many alarm systems now have cameras that allow you to have a look around your home to check for intruders and you can control other devices like door locks and lights. It really is the modern age.
- Cheaper Insurance – If you have an alarm system installed, then it is very likely that your insurance company will reduce your premium to reflect this. Up to twenty percent can be saved on a policy and so the money saved and the additional security are great reasons to install an alarm.
In order to protect yourself and your family, you really need to look into getting an alarm installed in your home.
