ERA Burglar Alarms

With many smart products becoming increasingly available, and with domestic budgets in mind, burglar alarms can often be overlooked in favour of CCTV and video doorbell options. However, burglar alarms still present an effective visual deterrent to would-be thieves, with many designs available that can be clearly located to the front of the property. Should the sight of the alarm still not put the burglar off and your property is breached, the loud siren quickly draws attention from neighbours and passers-by. These features, coupled with some alarm options such as email alerts, mean that they should still be used in conjunction with other security products.

Advancements in technology and connectivity mean that burglar alarms no longer require physical wires to connect the alarm to the keypad/console and in most cases, they can be easily installed without a professional fitter. Wireless connectivity means that the sensors can be easily fitted into the corner of a room, and the sensors typically use batteries, again meaning that no connection to a power supply or plug socket is necessary.

The popularity of video or smart doorbells has meant that for many they have become the preferred first line of defence for home security. However, while video doorbells provide a great way to see who's at the front door, they don't do the same task of generating a high decibel siren noise, should motion sensors detect unwanted visitors. Each solution plays its role in ensuring your property is secure and we recommend selecting a combination of complementing security products that can work together creating the greatest possible burglar deterrent.
