If you are concerned about the safety of your family and home, consider purchasing a burglar alarm system.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A list of certified and licensed home alarm companies
Referrals

Step 1: Get bids

Choose two or three companies from your list who have good customer referrals and get bids.

Step 2: Consider type

Decide on the type of alarm system you want. Systems can detect motion, temperature changes, and glass breakage, and can alert a monitoring station and neighbors. Choose one with back-up power in case the electricity is cut off.

Step 3: Schedule home inspections

Schedule a home inspection and an interview with each company.

Step 4: Consider your budget

Decide how much money you want to spend.

Step 5: Memorize key code

After your system is installed, memorize your key code so you do not set off the alarm.

  • A good dog and a AK-47 is the best security system on earth IMO, one alerts you to danger and the other one ends the danger. With all these alarms people waste money on the criminals still have a few minutes before the police get there to kill you or take your stuff anyway so whats the point? It would take a criminal about two minutes to snatch a child , some jewelry, etc, before they are gone.
