What is a motion sensor & why should you consider adding one to your existing security system?
So you may have a security system already. Yes, you may have several of your doors & windows protected... But what if you did not have ALL of your doors and windows wired for contacts?
You may be suprised that the majority of homes that have security systems are actually under protected. Thats right, due to finances, many people choose a security system that protects only 2-3 doors or windows?
In fact... In some areas where the older homes were not pre-wired for security beforehand, some people choose to simply protect their front and back door only.
What does that mean for you?
While it is true that some protection is better than no protection, it concerns me that a burglar may enter any window of the house and not trip the burglar alarm. Now you can see why a motion sensor comes in handy.
How A Motion Detector Works
Imagine a decvice that is approximately 3" X 4" that is strategically placed in a corner of your home so that the stairway that leads to your bedrooms is protected.
Now imagine an invisible beam that casts a web up to 40 ft long. Anything or anyone that crosses that invisible barrier will trigger a security alarm signal immediately notifying the authorities.
Different Kinds Of Motion Detectors Available
1) The Standard Hardwired Motion Sensor: this motion sensor will be installed if your home has been pre-wired for security or you have basement access to run wires for it. If you have an inside pet this may not be the option for you as it will set off false alarms as it detects their movement.
2) Pet Immune Motion Sensor: this motion sensor ignores pets that weigh under 60 lbs and will eliminate the false alarms caused by small dogs and cats.
3)Wireless Motion Sensor: You will use this when the home is not pre-wired for security & you do not have access for an alarm technician to run wires later on. Wireless motion detectors are available in both the standard & pet immune variety
4)Duel Tech Motion Sensors: This specialized motion detectorr not only works like the Pet immune sensor...It goes one step further.
It not only detects motion ...it also requires detecting body heat before sounding an alarm. As you can imagine this is the best motion detector available. But it also is the most expensive. Sensors are available in both hardwired & wireless variety.
Motion sensors give an extra line of defence to your security system. They really come in handy when protecting a basement that has many windows. any movement downstairs will trigger an alarm scaring a burglar away. Which motion sensor seems right to you?
Why not talk to a security system consultant to find out how you may add one to your existing system?
