Burglar alarms must be professionally installed
Not true. D.I.Y. alarms can be installed by anyone with "do it
yourself" skills, and the wireless systems are simple and easy
to install.
Burglar alarms require monthly payments for a service
contract
Not true. Although it is common for many alarm companies to
require that burglar alarm owners pay monthly maintenance
charges this is not necessary for many domestic alarm systems.
Maintenance contracts should not be a condition for the
installation of a burglar alarm.
Burglar alarms are nuisance to the neighbours
Not true. Most neighbours will appreciate the benefits of an
alarm system and will often take a look around your property if
they hear the alarm siren.
Alarm Monitoring is always expensive
Not true. Alarm monitoring can be an expensive optional extra
for the home owner but if you choose an auto dial system the
alarm will call your mobile or a set number of landline numbers
so you can monitor the system personally without any additional
expense.
Burglars wouldn't be interested in my house
Not true. Most burglars are not career professionals; rather
they are opportunist thieves who choose their targets at random.
These thieves will burgle any property, in any area, if they
think they can steal something of value, they will even your
garden ornaments.
Alarms won't stop determined burglars
Not true. Most determined burglars would rather avoid any
property where there appears to be an alarm fitted. They are
well aware of the risks associated with alarms and they know
there are plenty of homes they can steal from where they do not
have to deal with the additional problems of alarm systems. If,
however, you have extremely valuable personal property to
safeguard you would be well advised to seek out a very
sophisticated alarm system because you could be the target of
professionals rather than opportunist thieves.
A burglar alarm indicates valuable property
Not true. Very many homes have burglar alarms installed to
protect everyday items such as TV, Hi Fi, computer equipment
etc. Research has shown that a home with a burglar alarm
installed is four times less likely to be burgled than a home
without an alarm. Burglar alarms are generally accepted as being
a major deterrent to intruders.
Intruders can easily cut the burglar alarm cables
Not true. The answer is to install a wireless system where there
are no visible wires to cut. These systems are readily available
and are very easy to fit.
