There are lots of home security alarms out on the market. Many security systems are affordable and many are effective, but it is hard to tell which security system or burglar alarm system is the best for your home. Also, the home security system is a highly exploitable market-hundreds of consumers get scammed every year by "trunk slammers" and other wily dealers.
Step 1:Know the basic components. And what they do. You will definitely need: a control panel, door and window contacts, and sirens or alarms. You might want: motion detectors, cameras, glassbreak sensors and additional security keypads.
Step 2 Survey your home. Walk around the perimeter of your home as if you were a burglar. Take note of any likely entry points and what you need to invest in to secure them. Look for low windows, exterior man doors and second story windows that can be reached by climbing.
Step 3 Shop for a company. The next couple of steps will deal with what you need to do to survey the home security providers in your area. Getting good service is equal or greater importance to the hardware you are getting.
Step 4 Talk to the supplier. Inform them the details of your house situation. Ask them to offer suggestions.
Step 5 Get quotes. Get an estimate in writing. You can evaluate if it is worth.
Step 6 Get some references. A good company will have some customers willing to be contacted as references (or you can ask a friend). Ask if the system was installed in the quoted timeframe, if contracts were clear and explained well, if the customer service is courteous and readily available, if they have ever had a break-in and how quickly the company responded.
Step 7 Research the equipment. Most companies get their hardware from a certain company. Ask what they will be installing and go on the internet and find some reviews. Read about specific units. Gather opinions from several different websites.
If you still can not make your decision, contact the supplier directly
