Home security FAQs

Will my home security system continue to work if the power goes out?

Generally, yes. Most security systems have a back-up power source such as a battery pack. Of course, it is important to maintain the back-up system so that it can be used when it is needed.

Does a security system need to be watched by a company that specializes in security in order to be effective?

No, a loud alarm can be all that is necessary to discourage any burglar or attacker from remaining within the home. However, whether or not the system is monitored is of interest to insurance companies and can determine whether or not police may arrive on scene in case of the homeowner’s absence.

What is the number one point of entry for a burglar to break into a home?

Many people are surprised to find out that the majority of burglars simply enter a home through the front door. For that reason, it is important for a home to have a securely reinforced door along with guarded windows.
