We at Alarm System Expert understand better than anyone that you want to optimally protect your home, business premises or other property. But where can you best install an alarm system for optimal results? With more than 20 years of experience in the security world, you've come to the right place for the answer to that question! Among other things, you will find where to best install contacts, sensors, detectors and cameras. After all, where you are going to place the alarm system has a huge impact on its operation.
Placing a motion sensor
An important part of reliable security is installing a motion sensor. These sensors cause an alarm to go off. They are often sensitive to movement as well as heat, so natural influences such as wind have no influence. Choose a place where the intruder will walk by anyway. Do you have pets? Prevent a false alarm and hang the sensor high (1.20 m)! It is also important that when installing a motion sensor that it is not hidden behind furniture or curtains.
Camera installation
To clearly identify unwanted guests, it is important to place a camera in an appropriate place. Install the camera in the corner of a room to minimize the camera's blind spot (missing view). Avoid corners above a window or door and do not have the camera filming downward. When using a IP camera cameras capture sharp images from a distance. When installing a camera, it is best to aim it at doors.
Siren installation
Something that should not be missing in your alarm system is a siren. It is best to place it in a place where the alarm can be heard everywhere. This depends on each house, but common places are the living room, hallway and stairs. The development of alarm systems has been rapid in recent years. There are different types of sirens with sound and light signals. Are you using an alarm system with light signals? Then you can place the siren in areas where someone is often present, such as the living room, bedroom or entrance in the case of businesses.
