A Beginner’s Guide to Home Security

What Happens if a Sensor Is Tripped?

Let’s say you’re at work and someone tries to break into your garage. As they break into the side door, they may trip a motion sensor. If you use a monitored security system, the company you subscribe to will be alerted to this issue and will immediately call the local police. They will also call you to let you know that a sensor has been tripped and the police are on their way. Depending on your security system, you can also choose to be alerted via text when a sensor goes off.

You Can Make the Call

If you don’t pay for 24/7 monitoring, your system will instead alert you when something makes a sensor go off. Then, it’s up to you to decide if it’s necessary to phone the authorities and you can make the call. Many people who choose this system opt to have a high-volume siren sound when a sensor is tripped. This noise will go off immediately, potentially scaring off the intruder and alerting anyone nearby that something is wrong. If you choose to call the police, they will arrive to assess the situation. You must then turn off the alarm remotely or in person to cease the siren and reset the security system.
