Home alarm systems are extremely useful and beneficial to the homeowners and businesses who install them. It is important that the alarm system is professionally installed so that it works efficiently and effectively. Fisher Brothers Electrical Contractors can provide these services through our dedicated electricians specialized for such tasks.
An electrician is a tradesman who works with the electrical grid and any wiring that goes into your home. They install power points, light switches, connect appliances and fix white goods. Their services go beyond just repairing and installing household appliances and include work such as:
i.) Home Security Alarm Installation
An electrician can assist you in adding a comprehensive security alarm to your home. There are many features which can be added to the system which are best discussed before engaging a technician so that you understand exactly what you are getting.
ii.) Home Intercom
The use of an electrician means you won’t have to worry about drilling into walls or hiring a carpenter as they will handle this for you. The intercom system will be placed at entry points to your property so that you can talk and vet the person requiring entrance before opening your electronic gates or doors.
iii.) Motion Sensor Detector Installation
You can also have motion sensors installed within your home if you want extra protection from intruders. These can be placed in hallways leading directly outside or rooms that lead outside through a window. Motion detectors are connected to your system either by wiring or Wi-Fi. Should you choose the latter you can place them anywhere meaning it’s easy for an electrician to install them without needing to worry about drilling into walls or ceilings.
iv.) Home CCTV Installation
An electrician can install cameras in your home so you can monitor what is happening at home while you are away. This includes both wired and wireless options that essentially act as the same thing, but the wireless option does give you added flexibility to move them around without needing to drill holes everywhere for cables. Home security alarms, intercoms, motion sensors, and CCTV cameras all offer different levels of protection but taken together they can provide substantial security at home.
Why You Need an Alarm for Your Home
One of the first benefits of having an electrician install home alarms is that it makes it easier for you to keep your family safe. They can help you put in place effective barriers against burglars trying to break into your homes, such as window sensors and secure door locks.
Another benefit of installing many detectors such as motion detectors is that they will work together as a team to make sure all entry points are covered before sounding the alarm even when no one is at home. If there is no movement inside, then the alarm will not sound.
Home alarms can be controlled by an alarm company that will contact the police if they pick up on a security breach. This means that even after you and your family have gone to sleep, home alarms will still offer 24-hour protection against burglars and other uninvited guests.

Are Home Alarms Worth It?
There are always two sides to every story, but it seems that most people agree that home security alarm systems are worthwhile investments for any homeowner. A research study found that 88% of burglars said they would avoid homes with visible security features because they were less likely to go unnoticed. Home alarms are a deterrent against burglars because they make it easier for them to be caught and prosecuted. Burglars will generally want to avoid any situation where the police might be called upon to investigate, which means that an alarm acts as a great way of keeping them away from your home. One study conducted by a Security company found that only 13% of burglars would attempt to break into a home with visible signs of security compared to 40% who would target a house without these visible security features. Home alarms also provide a degree of comfort for homeowners who feel less anxious about leaving their homes unattended or going on holidays because they know that there is a professional 24/7 monitoring place that could help protect their family and belongings.
What can Home Alarms do for me?
Home alarms have two main functions, which are home security and home safety. These two benefits can be achieved through motion detector installation systems as well as providing varying levels of home safety.
Home security is perhaps the biggest reason for having a home alarm installation in Melbourne. Residential burglaries are unfortunately very common with many people being victims of break-ins every year, but home alarms can be used to help protect your home and loved ones against this by using home security systems that include motion detectors.
Motion detector installation systems are great at detecting unwanted movement, but these alarms can often come with smoke detectors included which will help protect your home even more by providing home safety in case of a potential fire.
Bottom Line
Home Alarms provide Home Safety for both you and your family as well as making sure that everyone is safe by alerting either yourself or others who can help such as Fisher Brothers Electrical Contractors monitoring service providers.
