Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between monitored and unmonitored systems?
A monitored security system is connected to a professional monitoring service that responds when an alarm is triggered. They may contact you, send security personnel, or call emergency services if required. This option provides constant oversight, especially valuable for commercial properties or remote sites. Unmonitored systems activate local alarms or send alerts to your phone, but rely on you or someone nearby to respond. These systems can still be effective, especially with CCTV integration or when cost is a concern. In both cases, the presence of sensors and alarms deters potential intruders and can reduce the risk of theft or damage.
Are security systems suitable for small properties?
Yes, security systems are highly adaptable and can be scaled down to suit small homes, apartments or standalone offices. Even a basic setup with door sensors, motion detectors and a mobile-connected alarm can significantly improve security. Many compact systems are wireless, making installation quick and non-invasive. Entry-level packages can also include panic buttons, glass break detectors or integration with smart home devices. For renters or smaller dwellings, portable systems offer the added benefit of being transferable.
How does a security alarm system work?
A security alarm system detects unauthorised activity using sensors placed at vulnerable entry points such as doors, windows and open spaces. When triggered, it activates a siren or silent alert, depending on the configuration. The control panel receives signals from the sensors and either notifies you directly or a monitoring centre if enrolled in a professional service. Some alarms are integrated with CCTV or smart devices for a more comprehensive setup. Alarm systems are typically armed or disarmed with a keypad, remote or smartphone. Their loud alerts serve as a strong deterrent and help prompt a fast response to potential threats.
