There are many many types of alarm panels out there. Each company has it's own type it likes to deal with. Some use the same brand, others are made just for them. We install the DSC line of security systems, mainly because for the consumer, it is easy to understand and very easy to use. The keypads look very nice, and these systems have really held up over the years. We have them in our own home and business as well.

The DSC PowerSeries alarm panels, give you many years of reliable service. Very easy to use, and also very expandable so you don't have to replace your system with a new one just because you want to add a few things later on. This panel has 6 to 8 zones that can be hardwired, also the keypad has a built-in reciever so if you want to add any wireless devices, such as a contact on your shed so you don't have to dig a trench, it's ready to go without any other expence to you.

Motion detectors are a big part of any system. These motion detectors are also "Pet Proof ", so you can have your dog or cat in the house with the alarm set, but will still go off if someone comes in the room.

The smoke detectors in your home that you have now, are to get you out of the house in case of a fire, when you are home. But what if you are not home? What good is it then? Well, the smoke detector on your alarm system will let the monitoring company know and they will dispatch the fire department right away. Your insurance company gives you a discount on your homeowners insurance for that reason.
