Even if no one has boarded with you yet: Burglary and theft are still the order of the day. Alarm systems cannot prevent this, but they already report every attempt. Even the small devices.
This is how uninvited guests come into the house. Most burglars prefer the front door, the levered out, is broken open or opened by the breakage of side windows.
Windows on the street front or on sides- and rear walls of the house are just as at risk as cellar windows and terrace doors. Burglars don't stop at balcony doors and skylights either. In apartment buildings, most burglars choose the main entrance: Above 70 Percent crack open the apartment door, the rest climb through windows and balcony doors.
For most of the house- and burglaries are not the responsibility of outspoken professionals, but so-called opportunity burglars, who take the path of least resistance. Visible mechanical safeguards such as bolts and locks usually keep such perpetrators from their intention. Equip your house with additional electronic detectors, increase your level of security significantly. No burglar likes to work to the shrill sound of a siren. In addition, these detectors inform you of the attempted break-in and you can take countermeasures. You can protect yourself with complete alarm systems. But also small ones, inexpensive compact devices, that do not require extensive installation, are suitable for securing the house.
Most of these devices are so-called motion detectors, in which a passive infrared system reacts to the moving thermal radiation of people or animals and triggers a siren via built-in electronics and power from batteries.
The electronic devices shown on the previous pages have one disadvantage: They are also activated by your pets, for example. The reporting is different, which are triggered mechanically. Doors and windows can be equipped with locks, which secure mechanically and also trigger an alarm in the event of the use of force and manipulation. Alarm devices work on an electronic basis, which report the opening of doors or windows, when the base unit and a small magnet are separated. The two parts are mounted in close proximity to the frame and sash and activated by entering a numeric code. These devices can be set in this way, that the alarm occurs with a delay, so that the residents have enough time after entering the apartment, disarm the system with the numerical code.
Devices of this type can also be attached to cabinet doors or objects: If a piece secured because of its value is moved or
away from his point of view, the alarm signal sounds. Small and mobile detectors can also be used to secure individual objects. A detector disguised as a luggage tag sounds the alarm, if unauthorized persons lift the secured bag or suitcase. The small mobile devices can also be used in hotel rooms, Caravans or boats can be used as anti-theft alarms. The shrill sounds of the siren, that emanate from them, in any case frighten everyone, that are nearby, on.
All devices can only function correctly, if the batteries provide sufficient energy. Take care, that they will be replaced before the durability guarantee expires. In this case, the use of rechargeable batteries is not worthwhile.
