Installing alarm systems throughout your property can help protect everything you value most. There's nothing more frightening than the thought of arriving home only to find out that you've been robbed or that a fire has razed your home. Not only do you lose your possessions, but you also lose your sense of security as well. Below are some of the common types of alarm systems you should consider.  

5 Types of Alarm Systems

1. Burglar Alarm

This type of home security system is designed to protect your property against intruders. It usually includes a surveillance feature with a combination of video monitoring, door and window sensors, motion detectors, sirens, and intercoms.

2. Fire Alarm

Fire alarm systems are designed to protect structures and the lives of its occupants against smoke, fire, carbon monoxide, and other dangerous gases. It uses a combination of smoke and heat detectors that produce audio or visual sirens when triggered.

3. Monitored System

A monitored alarm system is connected to a central message center. When your alarm gets tripped, an agent notifies the authorities on your behalf. The monitoring service not only covers burglar alarms but also the presence of fire and dangerous gases.

4. Medical Alarm

Medical alarm systems are designed to summon medical personnel in situations requiring urgent health assistance. The alarm alerts a monitoring center or other emergency agencies. It is often recommended for seniors and people with disabilities who live independently.  

5. Wireless Alarms

A wireless system is probably the most convenient and easiest to install. Since it is wire-free, there is less hassle in setting it up. It uses the same components as other security systems, including a touchpad, control panel, cameras, detectors, and alarms.
