False Alarms and Verified Response Protocal

This infomation is in response to questions asked by a local writer who's city is starting to use Verified Response Protocol. This means that local police department will not respond to an alarm unless it has been verified.  This helps reduce false alarms but requires residents to upgrade their security system to audio verification systems or get video verification of alarm events before police will be dispatched to the home. 

Of course the DSC Impassa SCW9057 has the normal wireless security sensors and accessories like door/window sensors, motion sensors, key chain remotes, glass break sensors and smoke/heat detectors. However, customers are enjoying some of the exciting new accessories. Let's take a look at the DSC Impassa's new lineup.

Although you can’t really put a value on protecting what matters most.... your family, what are some of the hidden costs of you owning a home security system?

When considering the cost of home security there are several things you need to factor into the overall cost of home security. The complete cost includes the initial cost of your home security equipment, installation, monthly monitoring rate, term and length of the monitoring contract, service and maintenance costs, potential city alarm permits, potential city false alarm fees and then you minus the annual savings on your home insurance for having a monitored alarm.

ADT Monitored Fire Emergency Response

A home security system with personal emergency response from ADT has the ability to provide monitored fire protection and carbon monoxide detection.  Instead of just having a home security system that protects from burglary only, enhance your system with personal emergency devices.  A one time investment into additional emergency response equipment will give you additional protection for your home and family without raising the cost of your monthly monitoring rate.

ADT Monitored Motion Sensor

A Motion Sensor is an essential part of your ADT monitored security system when the system is armed in the away mode. You do not arm the motion sensor when you are home. A motion sensor provides a second level of protection if an intruder is able to get past the perimeter protection without being detected. You should think of a motion sensor as a trap zone. Most burglars are headed for the master bedroom were most people have their jewelry, cash hidden, watches, guns, etc. The motion is setup as a trap zone typically in the hallway leading to the master bedroom in one story or the stairway in a 2 story home.

ADT Glass Break Sensor - Monitored Detector

Glass Break Sensors are perimeter protection devices of a home security system. A glassbreak sensor detects when glass is broken while the intruder is still outside (perimeter protection). Glassbreaks can also be armed while your home (STAY Mode) and when large pets are freely roaming your home when the system is armed when you are not home. A great place for a glassbreak sensor would be your master bedroom. I have seen a burglary where the burglars broke out most of the glass in a master bedroom, crawled through the window without opening it, stole everything of value in the master and crawled back out the window without being detected by the window sensor or the motion located in the hallway.
