Home alarm systems help protect New Orleans residential properties from ever-increasing burglaries and break-ins. Here at Liberty Locksmith New Orleans, we recommend that all of our residential clients install high quality alarm systems to protect their property. In this blog entry, our professional New Orleans residential locksmith team will detail the main types of alarm systems that can help to protect your household.
General Perimeter Alarm System
This alarm system works in tandem with motion detectors, and more commonly, a seal placed on doors, windows, and entrances. When the seal is broken, either a loud alarm will sound, alerting you and scaring away burglars, or a silent alarm will sound that automatically contacts the authorities (designated authorities are also contacted with non-silent alarms). If your home experiences a break-in, the police will immediately know and arrive at your property in a simple matter of minutes.
Fire Alarms
Fire alarms protect your home from fires. Fie alarms are connected to you local fire station. When fire alarms detect resign temperatures in your property (they are often installed in areas where fires often start, like kitchens,) and loudly ring, alerting everyone in your household (and likely your neighbors,) that a fire is occurring. Fire safety officials will arrive at your property in an highly efficient fashion.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms
These crucial safety systems are an absolute must for every residential or commercial property. They help to ensure that your property’s internal atmosphere is clean – and more importantly, safe. If any presence of smoke – or invisible, odorless, and deadly carbon monoxide – is detected, the alarm will LOUDLY sound, alerting you to the danger even if you’re asleep. This can help you get out of your property as soon as possible, which can literally save lives. Make sure that smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms have working, fresh batteries in at all times – they will automatically chirp when batteries get low, alerting you to their need for battery replacement.
