Security System Packages

What Should a Security System Include?

Most systems rely on a combination of contacts placed at doors and windows and motion sensors.

It is best that all exterior first floor potential points of entry have contacts that sense when they are open. Glass break sensors are also available and recommended.

Motion sensors should not be used as the primary means of detection because they do not detect someone until they are already in the house.

The basic elements of a standard home security system include:

• Control panel: This is where the system wiring terminates, the backup battery is located and where it is connected to the phone lines if it is a monitored system.

• Keypad: This is where the system is armed and disarmed.

• Siren

• Inside motion detector: These sense changes in a room caused by human presence. Special motion detectors are available for people who have pets.

• Door and window contacts: This sounds the alarm when the door or window is opened (and the system is on).

• A central monitoring: Our certified central station operators are on duty 24 hour a day.  When an alarm is tripped, they notify the proper authorities and someone on your emergency call list.
  

Additional items that can be added to the basic system are:

• Smoke detectors
• Glass break detectors
• Panic buttons
• Closed circuit TV to allow monitoring and/or recording inside or outside a home.

We have found the following security system packages are suitable for both home security protection and business security protection. Of course if you desire more protection we can add equipment to one of the following packages.
