The old-fashioned passive alarm system just doesn’t cut it in this day and age of high technology. The only function these style of alarms have is the sounding of a loud siren that is meant to alert neighbors that your home has been broken into. The more effective and modern home security service is designed to protect your house, property and occupants as well as to notify the monitoring service when something is wrong. Some companies offering home security services can do much more than system monitoring as they also provide on-site periodic patrols as a deterrent to potential burglars from entering the home.As an incentive to sign a monitoring contract many home security services companies give the consumer free installation of the home security systems. The typical cost of a monitoring system in the USA is around $30 to $50 per month and for this fee you get a 24-hour a day service. The service is activated when the home alarm is tripped; the home security services company is alerted to the security breech via an auto phone call. The monitoring company will then attempt to contact the homeowner but if contact cannot be made the home security services will contact the local police department.

As well as monitoring the system for break-ins, many home security services can also monitor for fire and flood in addition to medical emergencies. Depending on the alarm code that is received from the system the company can contact the relevant emergency service whether that is the police, fire brigade or ambulance service.

Different Codes Require Different Responses

With most home security services companies, the alarm code they receive from the home security system will instruct them on the type of response to provide. For most break-in alarms, they will call the home. If no one answers, or if the person who does answer their call is unable to correctly answer the security question, the police will be immediately contacted and requested to attend the premises. In situations where the fire alarm or medical alert alarm has been activated, the fire department or ambulance service will be contacted and can be dispatched to attend the premises even before the company attempts to contact the homeowner.

Occasionally galse alarms happen and this is why most home security services companies will contact the homeowner to verify that a problem does actually exist before they call in the police or other service.
