HOME SECURITY AWARENESS

Home Security Awareness

Criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their tactics. One common method involves disconnecting outside power at boundary meter boxes and waiting for the alarm battery to run flat, causing the Alarm Status LED to go off before breaking in. In many cases, criminals also find it easier to hijack homeowners as they return home to bypass the alarm system.

To protect yourself and your property:

• Ensure your alarm system is always in working order.
• Carry panic remotes with you at all times.

Alarm Cell Phone App Control

Alarm technology has advanced significantly, and we now offer an interface for many existing alarm systems that allows you to control and monitor your alarm from your smartphone.

Features include:

• Control and monitoring of your alarm system remotely.
• Check if your alarm is armed.
• Receive notifications when triggered, with zone details.
• Turn the alarm on or off.
• Integrate with cameras for video monitoring.
• Operate door locks and gate access.
• Control electric fences, gates, and garage doors.

This interface provides complete control over your security system, giving you peace of mind and protecting your property investment.

Maintenance Tips

Alarm Systems:

• Regularly test your panic buttons, alarm zones, and power monitoring (at least once a year).
• Wireless sensors require annual battery checks and replacements.

Electric Fencing:

• Ensure it’s linked to your alarm system as a perimeter defense.
• Inspect annually for functionality.
• Check for vegetation causing shorts, damaged wire insulators, or worn equipment.

Gate Motors:

• Noisy gates or gates that are difficult to move in manual mode may indicate worn wheels, bearings, or tracks.
• Gates that stop mid-operation may cause motor gearbox wear.
• Verify that the backup battery is functioning during power outages.

CCTV:

• Ensure your CCTV system is recording and accessible for remote viewing.
• Consider linking your CCTV to your armed response provider for added security.

Batteries:

• Test all security equipment batteries regularly to ensure they are functional during power outages.
