It's easy to set up and, thanks to its magnetic, swiveling base,it can be installed almost anywhere indoors.

alarm systems for the home

Some alarm installers recommend eliminating window transmitters and installing motion sensors instead. These sensors are similar to the motion detectors that turn on outdoor floodlights. That approach can cut costs, but we don’t recommend it. Motion sensors cause the majority of false alarms. Worse, they detect burglars only after they’ve entered your home.
