About
What are the local police procedures?
What monitoring services are available?
What must be done when a new system is installed?
There are two basic types of alarm systems, wired and wireless. Wired is easiest to install in a home under construction and wireless, while new, is becoming the standard for most homes.
All of the many brands do basically the same thing, report an alarm condition either to a local alarm device(horn) or to a remote monitoring system. How they notify the monitoring center differs by the type of control panel.
Some use a regular dial up phone line, some a dedicated phone line, others by radio or by cellular. The choice depends on your needs, the availability of services and the cost justification.
The latest systems allow for two way communications where the monitoring center can listen in to what is going on and they can also retrieve pictures relative to a home intrusion event should the hidden camera's capture the event.
Finally, alarm systems are there to provide timely notification of a problem to minimize the impact and cost. They will deter, not prevent a break in.

Police Procedures
Police procedure vary greatly from city/region to region, mostly the result of having to deal with false dispatches and more recently as a method of revenue generation. Some require registration, others require registration with a fee and some do not have any policy in place. You must check with your local police force to be sure.

Selecting the right installer is not a daunting a task but it will go a long way to ensure you get a system that works. Do your basic checks. Ask for a reference. Are they a local resource or from out of town? Are they a member of the better business bureau? Get three quotes and don't let price be the only deciding factor. Finally choose the one you are most comfortable with.
