SECURITY TIP!
If you are hiring out to
have your home alarm
installed, always use a
licensed vendor to
install, repair, or
service an alarm
system. While licenses
do not guarantee
honesty, it does
indicate that the vendor
has registered with the
state, and has met the
specified minimum
criteria for your locale.
In most cases, a license
is predicated upon
proof of adequate
insurance and/or
bonding, so you have
that protection as well. Local alarm systems (those which sound only on the protected premises) are much less effective, especially when local ordinances limit the time for which the signal can sound to avoid nuisance disturbance of neighbors. If you invest in such an alarm, you are counting on conscientious neighbors to call the police to respond. Having the signals from your alarm system monitored by a licensed vendor better assures that you get the protection you pay for when you install an alarm system.
