FAQs
Yes, alarm systems can deter burglars from targeting a home. The loud noise from the alarms effectively brings unwanted attention to the properties. Although the noise from an alarm may be ignored by neighbours/passersby etc, intruders cannot be sure this will be the case, and will not want to risk getting caught.
You’ll be pleased to know that house alarms use minimal electricity. The best smart alarms require around 7-8 watts of power to run and, generally speaking, will use around 60-70 kWh of electricity per year.
When first installed, intruder alarm systems cannot be connected directly to the police. If you require a police response to your burglar alarm, your installer must be accredited by either the NSI or SSAIB. Your accredited installer then applies to the police for a URN (unique reference number) on your behalf. This URN allows you to receive a police response if your alarm activates. The alarm signals are first sent to an Alarm Receiving Centre, which will then make a quick verification check before notifying the authorities.
Under the terms of the Environmental Protection Act, a burglar alarm’s external siren should not sound for more than 20 minutes. Most professionally installed systems are programmed to cut off automatically after 15 to 20 minutes to prevent noise pollution, comply with legislation, and avoid being a nuisance to neighbours.
That said, there are some cases in which alarm systems may sound for more than the maxiumum allowance. For instance, internal sirens may continue to sound if an intruder remains inside a property and external strobe lights may flash until the system is reset. This continued activity also acts as an important visual to help police identify the property that has been triggered.
If your alarm is ringing indefinitely, this may indicate a fault in the cut-off timer or an aging battery that should be addressed in a professional service.
The price you pay for your burglar alarm will vary depending on your home and security requirements. For instance, a professionally installed audible-only system for a standard semi-detached home typically starts from £600+. If you require a monitored system with a police response, initial installation usually begins at £900+, with an ongoing monthly monitoring fee. Alarm systems that include smartphone app control and CCTV integration may cost more, based on the number of sensors and smart features included.
While DIY alarm kits may seem cheaper, they aren’t as reliable as systems that have been fitted professionally. At Clear Sound Fire & Security, our fully qualified installers will ensure that your alarm system is fitted in line with industry standards and insurance requirements, which can guarantee quality and longevity, as well as lead to a potential reduction in your home insurance premiums.
