For most homeowners, the thought of a potential burglar in their home is a valid concern that might overwhelm them, especially those families with children.
With an entire market full of home security systems and alarms, there is a myriad of ways to combat home theft; however, with all the choices, it can be difficult to decide which the best fit is for your household.
For some families, the price is the most important part.
For others, the most effective and the best quality system is what they want.
For those that want something that is both relatively effective and affordable, investing in a wireless auto-dial home security system may be the best bet.
The wireless auto-dial system enables the homeowner to install the system in their home themselves, eliminating the complicated and expensive hassle of having a professional come to their home to install the alarms throughout the home.
Setting up the alarms throughout the home creates a protected perimeter so that when a burglar attempts to break into the home, he will set off the alarms, alerting everyone in the surrounding area of the ongoing burglary.
This is similar to the wired systems-both monitored and unmonitored.
However, rather than simply relying on the goodwill of others to alert the police as the unmonitored system does and rather than paying fees for a professional monitoring company to notify the cops as the monitored system does, the wireless auto-dial calls a pre-programmed list of contacts to alert the receiver of the ongoing break-in.
This list of contacts can include your own cell phone number, a trusted friend or family member, or other residents.
Once you receive that call, you can personally gauge whether the break-in is actually occurring or if it is a false alarm.
By doing so, it eliminates the problem of the monitored system, which has a high potential for false alarms.
You call the police yourself and thus, it is only when it is an actual emergency.
Thus, false alarm fees are no longer an issue.
Moreover, you are also saving on the installation fees as well as the monthly monitoring fees.
It is cheaper than the monitored system; however, it is also more reliable than the unmonitored home security system that simply relies on the loud sirens of the alarms to scare away the burglar or alert neighbors of the burglary.
It places the responsibility of notifying the police on others and puts too much in the hands of chance.
When you own a home and when you invest in a security system, you want to ensure that the burglar attempting to plunder your valuables is apprehended and stopped.
The wireless auto-dial system is affordable without sacrificing its effectiveness.
It also places more control and decision-making in your own hands so that you make the decision on whether or not to call the police.
There is a huge selection for home security systems; however, when taking both affordability and reliability into account, the wireless auto-dial system finds the middle ground, ensuring your home is well-protected without the huge expense that go with it.
