What does the equipment consist of?
There may be various equipment associated with your alarm system. Generally, there's a keypad and motion detector as well as a device placed on points of entry. Some systems have other components as well including:
* Wireless remote
* Key chain
* Cameras
* DVR device
* Signs and decals for the outside of your home
* Manuals
Whether you're having a basic home alarm installation or a home security system installation that includes a more advanced system, it's important for you to understand the existence and the functions of each of the components. And, you'll want to spend some time with the technician receiving a demo of how the system is armed and disarmed.
Some things the installer might show you include:
-How to arm the system
-How to disarm the system
-What to do if you accidentally trip the system
-Additional features
-System troubleshooting
Knowing how to arm the system generally consists of a few buttons and a pass code. The disarming is essentially the same. If the system is accidentally engaged there will probably be a time frame that allows you to turn the system off before the monitoring company will notify the police. You might need to call them with passwords or talk through two-way communications if a false alarm happens.
If your system has additional features like a panic button or video surveillance, this is something your installer will go over with you as well. Generally there are also codes that you'll need to know about regarding low batteries or interrupted telephone service codes and you'll want to understand if you still have service without the presence of a phone line. Today, because many people work with VOIP or with mobile phones only, alarm systems might still be connected to the alarm company where previously it would only work with a connected telephone line. Your installer can go over all details with you individually.
If your home has pets, your installer will likely tweak the alarm so that the pets don't trip the system. If you do have problems, your alarm company will be able to dispatch your installer for any service issues. It's important to understand how to correctly operate your system due to the fact that the police could be dispatched even if there are false alarm calls and some police departments will institute a fine system or refuse to come for future alarm calls if you exceed a specific number of false alarms.
Home alarm installation services are often the only fee you need to pay to have your home alarm system installed. For a nominal fee that covers the time and efforts of the service representative you can sometimes get a free basic alarm system that includes some great features. The alarm companies will often do this and provide an expensive system because you agree to a specified contract period for monitoring services. A security home installation service that installs your alarm system might be a separate company that is authorized by the large alarm company.
