It seems like almost everyone sees the value in protecting their home, but very few actually take steps to do so. This trend could be due to the fact that there is a lot of confusion when it comes to burglar alarm systems. In this article, we will look at the most frequently asked questions about burglar alarms.

How does a burglar alarm work?

Your home is broken down into specific zones, once a burglar alarm is activated each zone can report its status separately. When a disturbance is detected a message is sent from the control panel to the central monitoring service through the phone line. There is then a small waiting period to see if any other disturbances are detected, these will also be reported. Law enforcement will be notified once the messages are received.

Will the burglar alarm still work when there is no power?

Yes, but this is only the case when your burglar alarm has a battery backup. The battery backup should enable the alarm to operate for a few hours, which ensures your home is protected.

Is a wireless burglar alarm or wired burglar alarm better?

Wireless burglar alarm systems are better. A few years ago, wireless systems were still inferior to wired systems because they would give false alarms. However, today wireless systems are easier to install and will also work when the phone lines have been cut.

When do most burglaries occur?

Most burglaries actually happen during the day. In fact, 72% of burglaries occur between 7am and 10am.
