dealing with burglary

[iStorm]

I know exactley what your saying, and there still out there, lol, i guess it comes down to who installs the system, and what eqipment is used, i personaly dont want me or my engineers being called out to false alarms, so my moto from the beggining was to fit quality equipment to a set standard, i didnt want to loose what profit was in the job having to go back to an alarm over and over again, i appreciate alot of alarm companies dont take these views or there engineers dont! So when fitting an alarm get an approved installer, im not saying Nacoss, but a good company that you have checked out, therefor your minimiseing the chances of problems.

If an alarm is installed by a reputable installer the last thing they want is a "Bell Box" with there name plasterd all over it! going of every hour of the day! Certainly not good advertising, i believe that what profit is in that job needs to stay in that job, thats why we install good quality equipment from the start, to a high standard, because we dont want the "bad advertising" and we dont want to loose that profit by frequently going back to an installation.

I agree again Iain. As they say, it's too late to close the barn door after the horses have bolted and in the case of burglary the event can sometimes be fatal. Installing an alarm system after a murder can't bring anyone back. Burglaries aren't always about property.

I haven't been burgled, just messed with like egg throwing etc. I hope to have some type of system set up before such a thing happens. My locks are good but no house is impregnable. A dog would be a handy alarm but not practical indoors for me as I'm very allergic to them. I hope to eventually have all entrances and sides covered by CCTV.
