Home security system. Is it worth the investment?

Home security systems are often still considered a luxury item, but experts stress that home break-ins and theft are a widespread and preventable problem in Lithuania. Even properties left unattended for a short period can be an easy target when the owners are away. Thieves, fire, water damage, or electrical faults all require prompt and professional action to ensure the safety of your property. So, how can we protect our property?

Where to start protecting your home?

Home protection starts with the purchase of the property. When we buy or furnish a new home, we focus on interior details but often overlook home security issues. Experts recommend installing at least one security system to ensure your peace of mind and the safety of your home contents. Alarm systems should be considered and installed before the interior decoration work is carried out—this should be one of the first steps in making your home comfortable and safe.

What is the best home security?

Home security detects intrusions into your space and ensures the safety of your residents. There are many security system solutions on the market. Home security experts always advise you on which one to choose to suit your needs. The most significant factors are the size and location of the property. Each system has different characteristics, functionality, and tasks, but all home security systems have the same goal: to protect your home from theft, natural disasters, fire, or other unpleasant situations. Additional security systems capture intruders by filming them, ensuring no unauthorized entry into your home goes unnoticed.

A qualified professional will help you choose the right security system for you, but it is worth knowing that when considering a home security system, you can choose the number of active protected zones, the number of motion detectors you want to use, the number of people you want to give access to control the alarm, the functionality of the control, and many other nuances.

What is a home alarm?

Home alarm system – a home security system, usually consisting of motion sensors (window and door magnets, infrared sensors, etc.), a control panel, and other accessories (e.g., an emergency alarm button to send a signal to a security service). Alarms can be fire, audible, or visual. Experts remind us that security is almost the most essential value in our lives. Theft is not only a financial loss but also a moral loss, accompanied by a constant feeling of insecurity in our own homes and workplaces. A home alarm system not only helps to prevent burglaries but also protects your privacy and emotional well-being.

In the event of an intrusion into your premises, the alarm sensors transmit a signal to the security service in charge of the property. When you enter a protected facility, the system’s untrained code sounds an audible alarm to scare away those with bad intentions. It transmits the signals to the security service, which immediately responds to the alarm by presenting itself at the protected facility within minutes. EUROCASH1 consultants will always help you choose the most appropriate solutions for complete home security, considering your needs and possibilities.

How does a home alarm work?

Identifying a burglary triggers home alarms – the alarm panel’s transmitter sends a signal to the security system’s control panel via GSM (mobile internet). The security service always sees the status of the property, but in case of an alarm, it receives an immediate alert. It is important to stress that the user can always see the status of the object they manage using the security service’s mobile application. Upon receiving an alarm, the security service immediately dispatches a team of qualified personnel. The service usually arrives within a few minutes and prevents any unauthorized actions.

What are the differences between home alarms?

Home alarms are usually divided into wired and wireless. Experts usually recommend wired alarms before moving in and finishing the house, as exposed wires do not enhance the interior. However, if you are already settled in, you can opt for wireless alarms, which are battery-operated. To best meet your expectations, EUROCASH1 experts will always advise you, provide free consultations, and find the best solution for you.

Which alarm system is suitable for my home?

It is worth choosing security systems with more active zones for larger homes or commercial premises. Even if the number of zones you need for living or working varies, you can always increase it. Smaller, optimal solutions are usually available for rooms up to three, with a straightforward control system and motion detectors in each zone. For commercial premises and ground-floor housing, experts recommend security window magnets, which react to the opening of a locked secured object and immediately send a signal to the security service.

Is it possible to protect the house not only with an alarm system?

Home alarms are one of the solutions currently available to consumers. Still, we advise you to connect your smart devices to the security system to monitor video footage for complete home security. You can see the video from the cameras protecting your property at any time of the day or night. This solution lets you know what your children or pets do in the yard. Video cameras are not only great for “keeping an eye” on your home, but they also act as a babysitter.

Is it worth investing in home security?

Users often consider a property alarm system as a highly cost-effective solution. However, EUROCASH1’s many years of experience show that the exclusive audible alarm works like a TV system without the set-top box. A loud alarm does not always deter intruders, but a complete security system ensures the safety of your property.
