Car alarms likewise protect vehicles and their contents. There are different types of alarm systems and you will need to shop around before you decide.

Prices do vary from company to company and you need to make sure that you choose a reputable company with which to sign a contract, especially if you are using a monitoring service or similar facility such as the speech dialler which is a cheaper alternative. When the alarm goes off, it calls a set of numbers of your choice until it gets an answer, then leaves a recorded alert that the alarm has gone off.
Components comprising most alarm systems:
Premises control unit (PCU), or panel: The "brain" of the system, it reads sensor inputs, tracks arm/disarm status, and signals intrusions.
Sensors: Devices which detect intrusions. Sensors may be placed at the perimeter of the protected area, within it, or both. Sensors can detect intruders by a variety of methods, such as monitoring doors and windows for opening, or by monitoring unoccupied interiors for motions, sound, vibration, or other disturbances.
Alerting devices: These indicate an alarm condition. Most commonly, these are bells, sirens, and/or flashing lights. These can often scare off burglars as well as alerting occupants and neighbours.
Keypads: Small devices, typically wall-mounted, which function as the human-machine interface to the system. In addition to buttons, keypads typically feature indicator lights.
Interconnections between components. This may consist of direct wiring to the control unit, or wireless links with local power supplies.
Security devices: Devices to detect thieves such as spotlights, cameras & lasers.
