An alarm is a good way to scare away thieves and alert the neighborhood. There are two types of alarms: “the wired alarms which allow the peripherals to be connected to the control unit by a wire and then wireless alarms which are much easier to install since the devices communicate with each other wirelessly,” explains Arnaud Lanchonpresident ofOpti Securitya company based in Limoges and with four agencies in Berry (Issoudun, Châteauroux, Bourges, Vierzon).
Smile, you are being filmed!
If the alarm, emitting a shrill noise, is sometimes enough to scare away burglars, other home security systems exist. You can equip your home with cameras to film everything in the private domain. It is, in fact, forbidden to film the street even in front of your home.
For Arnaud Lanchon, “the ideal way to secure your home is to install an alarm system that is connected to remote monitoring, which allows alarm information to be communicated to the outside world. “. We can add sensors at the openings (doors and windows) and motion sensors. Furthermore, today we can connect these motion sensors to cameras to carry out a remote arrest by the remote surveillance company. There teleinterpellation consists of sending messagespre-recorded or live, intended for malicious intruders filmed by the camera.
