Alarm System Components
Door and Window Contacts
Door and window contacts come in many different shapes and sizes. It is important to properly protect your home but installing these at every door and possibly every window as well. We can provide contacts for virtually all types of windows and doors, this includes gates, roof access hatches, equipment covers etc.
Motion Detecors
Motion detectors are devices that uses various technologies to detect movement. they can be used indoors and outdoors, and are available in many different configurations.
Glass Break Detectors
Window contacts are great for sensing when the window frame itself opens or closes, in most cases however it will not detect if the window is broken. That is where the glass bread detector comes in. IT works with both plate glass and tempered glass, comes in many styles and sizes and are perfect to protect rooms that have many windows but only 1 or 2 that actually open.
Glass Shock Sensors
Glass shock sensors are a small device that is glued to to the glass window pane. It detects strong vibrations, such as those created when the glass is broken.
Smoke and/or Heat Detectors
Smoke detectors should be placed strategically throughout the house to ensure you are properly protected. You may be asking yourself, “But I already have smoke alarms in my house, why would I need more?” although your home may (and should be) already have smoke alarms, they cannot be linked into the alarm panel.this means the alarm monitoring center and possibly yourself, will not be alerted to the possible fire in your home.
Co2 Detectors
Just like smoke detectors, Co2 detectors need to be installed in strategic places throughout your home. Co2 is an odorless and invisible killer. Humans are more susceptible to the effects of Co2 when asleep so it is important to have detectors properly installed to combat this deadly threat.
Sump Pump Water Level Alarm
A dry basement depends on a properly functioning sump pump to pump out excess ground water. If that pump were to fail, the resulting damage can be costly and devestating. A small investment into one of these devices can avoid you being up to your knees in you know what! Couple a sump pump alarm with our self monitoring service to get alerts right on your phone or inbox alerting you that your sump pump has failed.
Flood Sensor
Flood Sensors are great for overflow basins, used for washing machines, hot water tanks, furnaces etc. They can even be used in mechanical rooms where you may have a lot of plumbing valves and equipment, areas where burst pipes or valves could go unnoticed long enough to create plenty of damage.
Low Temperature Sensors
Low Temp Sensor’s are a must when homes or cottages are left unoccupied for more than 24 hours at a time. |if you were to loose heat, your pipes may bust causing ten’s of thousands of dollars in damage. these sensors monitor the ambient room temperature and will activate at a preset level, typically 5 or 7 degrees Celsius. These devices are also great for garages where you may store equipment, paints, chemicals that are sensitive to cold.
Keypads
Keypads are what you use to interact with the alarm system. All manufacturers will have a variety of keypads ranging in functions and price. These should be located at the entry/exit points of the home and you might consider installing one in your master bedroom for those late night “oops forgot to arm the alarm system” or god forbid someone did break into your home, you can signal for help.
Do you go with a wired or wireless alarm system? Or do you do both? There are so many different factors that come into play. Ultimately it boils down to this one question, can you get a wire run to the desired location? Although slightly more expensive, wireless alarm systems are excellent options for pre-existing homes that were not pre-wired for an alarm system.
