Alarm Systems

Alarms have come a long way since Augustus Russell Pope, an American inventor, first patented his electromagnetic alarm system in 1853. Towards the latter part of the 20th century, it became commonplace for most homes to have an alarm fitted, but more recently the technology has progressed significantly, with the latest alarms having a host of innovative capabilities.

Intruders are increasingly targeting properties with basic alarms (simple sensors and a bell-box), knowing they can be in and out in less than 40 seconds and thus ensuring it is very unlikely that anyone will respond within that timeframe. Much like car alarms, the sound of a house alarm going off usually attracts annoyance from bystanders or neighbours rather than actual suspicion that a burglary may be taking place - this culture was generally created by the vast amount of ‘false alarms’ which are regularly heard. Bearing this in mind, it’s no longer good enough to have a simple alarm system, you are far better investing in a fully integrated smart alarm system to keep intruders at bay - aside from the increased functionality for the user, they are a far greater deterrent to criminals who would be inclined to avoid a property with a modern alarm system.
