Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of alarms are available?

    There are several types:
    Burglar alarms (detect intrusions)
    Fire alarms (detect smoke, heat, carbon monoxide, fire sprinkler)
    Panic alarms

    Most of these features are combined into one system.

  • Can I install the system myself?

    We do not sell fully DIY (Do It Yourself) systems but prefer a more DIT (Do It Together) approach. We invite you to participate in the design of your system but will supply you with the resources for professional installation.

  • What is an alarm system?

    An alarm system is a security system designed to detect unauthorized entry or other
    emergencies (like fire or carbon monoxide) and alert you and emergency services.

  • What’s the difference between wired and wireless alarm systems?

    • Wired systems use physical wires to connect components. 
    • Wireless systems use radio frequency (RF) signals or Wi-Fi. They’re more cost effective to install, more flexible for positioning, and supervised for status.

    Common reasons include: 

    • Low battery 
    • Sensor or system error
