Hello everyone,
A good friend owns an optical shop. The store has been broken into twice now. The property damage each time was considerable. Does anyone have experience with intruder alarm systems and possibly connecting them to a mobile phone? I really like the concept of a fog system, but it also triggers the smoke detectors...
I would appreciate any information.

Oh yes, ours was designed by an electrical engineering company and complies with VdS standards.

And why does it cost when the police come? Isn’t that their duty? Don’t I already pay for that with my taxes?

Responding to a genuine alarm is free of charge. If you have your system directly connected to the police (although this is sometimes no longer possible for private companies), then a fee is charged for police response in case of a false alarm.

However, your taxes do not cover the personal convenience of electronically having the police check if something is wrong. Otherwise, police would probably respond mostly to false alarms.

You are probably right. But is the "detected cat" a false alarm? The system is supposed to detect and report movements, isn’t it?

So, you mean less the construction companies and more professional security services?
Well, security services often have a department that handles exactly this kind of issue, and they usually also have recommendations for the appropriate systems.

I will do some research. Meanwhile, thank you. I hadn’t thought of that idea!

We have had excellent experiences with Indexa in the lower price range. If a higher budget is available, then Telenot is a good option (both work very well with KNX, by the way, if you don’t want to use ABB GM/A). There are also differences between VdS, VdS Home, and "based on VdS" (which often means something different). However, this depends on what, for example, an insurance company requires.
