Security Systems FAQ

Here are some of the more common security systems questions we get:

What makes up a home security system?

Typical components include a control panel, keypad, transformer, standby batter, motion detector, siren, contacts and phone jack.

How do I find out what kind of security system I have?

Identify the manufacturer, and then look for the control panel. The inside of the door should have a drawing describing the system, including model number and other information.

What does it mean if my system is locked?

It means the panel can no longer accept onsite or offsite programming by anyone aside from the installing company. This is done usually in rented or leased properties.

What is a ‘zone’?

A zone refers usually to the input from a protective circuit from the alarm control panel, which divides your system into separate areas of protection based on function.

When should an alarm system be upgraded?

Systems have a lifespan of usually 10-15 years, and some can last a little longer.

More Home Security FAQ

How soon will my home security system be installed?

It depends on the size of the system and add-ons you wish to include. Some can take only a day, while others might take longer.

Will my dog or cat set off the alarm?

Modern systems with monitoring often include pet-friendly motion detectors that can be set to your pet’s size.

I rent. What are my options?

Many of the more in-depth systems are not for renters, but there are companies out there that offer their services to renters. You can also purchase a wireless system and install it yourself.

How do I prevent a false alarm?

You can reduce false alarms by becoming acquainted with how to properly arm and operate the system. Train those who will be using the system, and test it on a regular basis.

Are guard dogs effective?

Dogs are a great burglar deterrent. Criminals hate dogs because they’re noisy and can attract unwanted attention.

Home Security FAQ

Here are some of the more common home security questions we have answered:

Do I really need a security system?

Nine out of 10 convicted burglars said they would never try to break into a house protected by a burglar alarm system. This, plus the added benefits, are great reasons to have one.

What can I do to prevent my home from a burglary?

The first step is to always secure your home’s access points, namely windows and doors. Burglars look for anything easily accessible, especially from the ground. Simply closing and locking these entrances is a basic step. Doors should always be equipped with a deadbolt lock for better security.

Do home alarm systems prevent a break-in?

Basic systems are design to detect unauthorized entry and/or evidence of fire and immediately report it to authorities. The biggest benefit to an alarm system is that the fear of it detracts would-be robbers from even attempting to break in to your home. Placing a sign or window decals around your home will help do the job.

What kind of alarm system should I get?

It depends on several factors: your budget, what you want the system to do, amenities you wish to include, etc. Do you want it wired or wireless? For many, a basic system is more than adequate, but those with bigger homes might want to get something with add-on options. It’s all dependent on your needs.

Can a system save me money?

Like anything custom added to your home, an alarm system will add value to your property, and save you under most policies 10-20% on your homeowner’s insurance.

Central PA Summer Home Security Tips from Poust Security Technologies

Summer is normally a time of increased crime in Harrisburg PA and surrounding areas, and at Poust Security Technologies, we don’t want to see anyone become a victim. Protecting your home with a professional home security system and following these tips can deter would-be criminals from stealing your possessions:

Check your home security system

Find flaws in your security system before the criminals do. You might discover weaknesses that you didn’t even think about.

Change locks and other protective measures

If you’ve recently moved into a new home, take the time to install new locks, tumblers and other security measures. This is one of the easiest yet safest precautions one can take, as you don’t know who has access to the previous ones.

Consult with your neighbors

Communication with the neighborhood about suspicious cars or persons lurking about can lead to better home protection. If your neighborhood has experienced a lot of robberies or car break ins, talk to your local police force about forming a neighborhood watch.

Get a dog

Man’s best friend is also one of man’s best security systems. Dogs are a great burglar deterrent, as the barking will scare off whoever is trying to rob your home. Even a small, noisy dog is a great protective measure.

Don’t leave extra keys lying around

Many place a spare key under a rock or doormat, or in the mailbox, but these usual suspects are known by burglars. Placing the key in a film canister or wrapping it in some kind of substance and then burying it in an easy to remember spot is the best step to take.
