ᐅ Burglar Alarm System – Experiences?

@superzapp That doesn’t sound too bad, which brand is it? And why is there a charge when the police come? Isn’t that their duty? Don’t I already pay for that through my taxes?

Currently, I am considering installing good cameras additionally (with night vision and microphone).

I also have three of these in my current office (without an intruder alarm system). They record when motion is detected. But I believe something like this should not be designed by yourself if high values are involved. The intruder alarm system also needs to be "insurance-compatible," otherwise it will not provide financial support in case of damage.

Well, taxes. Sometimes I wonder what they're for. But if a response is triggered "privately," I believe it usually comes with a fee (in case of a false alarm...).

If there are intruders, then the police response is probably free (most likely).

Our system was inspected and approved by the insurance company. So, we would have received compensation in case of burglary/theft. However, it had to be regularly inspected or maintained (battery, mobile transmitter if no landline, door lock, etc.). This, of course, also involved costs! So, keep ongoing expenses in mind.

Haha! Can it really be a false alarm if the system is triggered properly (e.g., by a mouse)? The system is just doing what it is designed for.
But thanks anyway, that helps.

Ours triggers when it is armed and someone, for example, walks into the detector. A loud alarm then sounds throughout the building, and an alert is sent via a telephone dialer.
