A home alarm system, also known as a home security system, consists of various sensors that trigger an alarm when any unusual activity is detected.
Installing such a system depends on various factors, such as:

  • Wired or Wireless – A hard-wired set-up, which may require taking apart floorboards and walls, is generally done by a professional. A wireless set-up, on the other hand, could be as simple as taking the adhesives off the sensors and sticking them into a specific surface, such as a wall or window, and may therefore be DIY (do-it-yourself).
  • Type of Sensors Needed – Often, homeowners have a limited budget and may decide to prioritize certain security needs over others. For example, you may decide to install only a fire alarm system.  A fire alarm system includes smoke detectors or heat detectors, which should not be installed in areas prone to high humidity, drafts or extreme temperatures.
  • Additional Services – Home security companies generally offer a variety of services, such as video surveillance, integrated devices, home automation, etc., in order to give homeowners enhanced protection. If you sign up for these services, then you may need to install additional components.
  • Legal Requirements – Certain states have rules and regulations you’ll have to abide by before and after installing alarm systems. For example, in Maryland, occupants of rented rooms must have a carbon monoxide alarm installed and maintained. Another is residents are required to register their home security systems in Atlanta, Georgia in an effort to reduce false alarms.

Properly installing an alarm system is extremely important, as it will ensure not only for how long the sensors remain effective, but also how well they may protect your family.
