Existing burglar alarm installed by a leading major alarm company had radio backup dialer if telephone wires were cut. The telephone wires were plainly accessible from ground level. During a break-in, the telephone wires were cut and the radio backup did not work. The system was not “supervised” meaning there was no indication of wires being cut or radio not functioning. We were contacted following break-in and per our recommendation, the home owner rerouted telephone wires to enter at attic level, not ground level. We identified that the radio dialer was the wrong type to function in the non air-conditioned space where it was located, the glass break sensor was on wrong wall, and a motion sensor was in the wrong location. A “mock strike” by the original alarm company would have revealed these deficiencies without the loss of over $200,000 in uninsured collector’s valuables, and the anguish and the time associated.

The above fence signs, available in different sizes, posted around your fence line, are our design to make intruders think twice before entering your property.
It’s not actually body heat that is tracked by the cameras unless we utilize thermal cameras, which are an option applicable to certain applications. It is simply the human form that is detected by the video analytics. But we don’t owe the people climbing over your fence any technical details. We just want them to understand the consequences of breaking into your grounds.
