Secure your house with an alarm

There are many different alarms on the market, but the fall into two basic categories. Remote Signaling and Audible Only.

Remote signaling is the system whereby a private company monitor the system and if the alarm is set of then the Police are called. The alarm may or may not make a noise.

Audible only is the most common type of alarm for homes and it relies upon the noise to alert others that there could be a robbery in progress. This type of alarm also disturbs the thief. It relies on someone hearing the noise and then calling the Police if they are suspicious.

From an Insurance point of view if you are selecting an alarm make sure that it is fitted and maintained by a NACOSS approved supplier. In many cases, insurers will not recognise the alarm otherwise.
