1st Choice Install Intruder Alarms in St Albans
It’s every householder’s nightmare. You return from shopping in the middle of the day to find a burglar holding a bag stuffed with jewellery seized from your home. This was exactly what happened to an unfortunate St Albans family, however, as described in court recently. In this case the burglar was caught, and asked for 9 other burglaries in Hertfordshire to be taken into account.
In summing up, Judge Philip Grey stated:
“Every householder has the right to feel safe and secure in their own home. The feeling of violation and anger is entirely justified.”
Intruder Alarms in St Albans Protect Your Property
In this instance an intruder alarm in their St Albans property could have saved the family from having to confront the burglar themselves. As it was, they found themselves in a high risk situation which could have had serious consequences. It’s a timely reminder that protecting you home isn’t just about your property; it’s also about your family’s safety.
Which Residential Alarms are Best?
A question 1st Choice Security Systems engineers tend to get asked a lot is ‘Which is the best intruder alarm?’ There’s no simple answer to this, as the kind of alarm you need depends on your environment:
- Bells Only Alarm. This is ideal if you live in a quiet residential area with lots of people working at home, or retired. This is because the bells only alarm relies on neighbours to hear it, and contact the owner, or the police.
- Monitored Intruder Alarm. If you live in a city environment, and you don’t know your neighbours well, the monitored alarm is a great solution. When triggered a call goes through to a monitoring station. They will either call the owner, or the police.
