How to protect your insurance premiums
Where are the vulnerable points in your property's security? Are there accessible windows, windows with no locks or an open shed full of useful ladders to get to upstairs windows? Do you have a noisy gravel drive or pathway which would alert neighbours to the presence of an intruder? Is there a burglar alarm visible from the road? Is the alarm also visible at the back of the property?
For every property with an burglar alarm, there are at least nine without. Reformed burglars who work with police in Bristol report that they would walk past the properties with burglar alarms and target the ones without.
Installing a burglar alarm is not just a deterrent to thieves, it provides a warning to you, the police and neighbors in the unfortunate event of an actual break-in.
How do I choose a the right Burglar alarms
Alarms can be audible only, monitored or DIY.
- DIY alarms are not recommended and do not usually result in a police response as they are often unreliable and cause too many false alarms.
- To receive a response from law enforcement authorities from an audible only alarm, there usually a first hand eye witness report.
- Monitored alarms are particularly useful for isolated properties. They are usually monitored via an alarm response centre which filters out false alarms and then informs the police. Police respond to monitored alarms automatically.
Prevent a break-in
Getting the correct burglar alarm depends on finding one that that is right for each household. Choose an security firm approved by NSI that offers a security survey to take care your particular needs. Using an NSI-approved installer is required by the leading insurance firms.
