Intruder Alarms Huddersfield
If you are after intruder alarms in Huddersfield then stop right there. In almost forty years that we’ve been trading then there is one trend we can recognise – when the economy is bad and jobs are being lost then theft goes up!
We’ve been providing security alarms for Huddersfield businesses and homeowners for nearly four decades and we’ve seen many crazes come and go. The latest being Wi-Fi only, plug-and-play security systems. Over time the acid test of whether an innovation in crime detection lasts or not is determined by the criminals.
A system that you can open, plug in, set up on an app and then ask Google or Alexa to activate seems brilliant – our guess is that the thieves think it is too! If a sounder isn’t securely fixed, then attacking it or throwing it in into water is simple … perhaps simply stealing it could be an option! If there is no external siren and strobe light, up high externally then where is the deterrent?
Many studies and police research finds that intruders are discouraged by a recognisable security alarm and CCTV cameras. Theives look for the easier option. If they only discover you have an alarm once they’ve entered your building then it’s too late.
Having a compatible app with your security system is good practice, even if supplemental. It is imperative that the burglar alarm functions as a robust security system despite the use of of an app. The ability to remotely set and unset your intruder alarm, monitor it’s status and receive push notifications is great. However, we all know that smartphones and cellular networks are a robust network most of the time but if you were sent a notification by your alarm at midnight on the thirty-first of December how rapidly would that arrive? Complimentary apps are a really good addition to an intruder alarm but the system itself must first of all provide a deterrent and then warn thieves and neighbours, should a break-in happen, irrespective of mains failures or internet down times.
