With burglaries rising in the recession hit economy, burglar alarms are an effective option to increase home security. With the burglar alarms with all possible features, available in a wide price range of £50 to £1000, it is important to choose one that offers good security and falls within your set budget.
Burglar alarms are available as two types - The A-type and B-type. The A-type burglar alarms are the more sophisticated alarms, which are connected to a monitoring station through a radio network or a telephone line. The signals which will be monitored 24/7 at the station. In the case of the alarm being triggered you would be called on telephone immediately to make sure things are fine. In case it is not, the police will be alerted immediately.
There is a less sophisticated version of the monitored alarms called the ‘auto-dialler burglar alarms’. These alarms can be programmed to notify you or any of your friends or relatives, once the alarm is triggered.
A third version or the basic type of burglar alarms is the B-type or bell type burglar alarm. This is the kind where the alarm acts as a deterrent by letting out a loud ring or beeps to alert whoever is in the house or the neighbourhood. This is in fact the most basic type and in turn the cheapest version available.
There are even people who go for dummy alarms to serve as crime deterrents. When it might serve the purpose as far as petty thieves are concerned, you might not be able to fool an intent burglar who can easily tell the difference between the two.
