One common type of intruder alarm is audible-only alarms. These are alarms that make a loud noise if they detect an intruder but don't contact anyone or call the police.\r\n\r\nAudible-only alarms can be very effective but they\u2019re not suitable for every property. To help you decide if an audible-only alarm would be a good investment, we\u2019ve come up with a list of their pros and cons.\r\n\r\n

Pros<\/h3>\r\n

Good visual deterrent<\/h5>\r\nA big advantage to audible-only alarms is that they\u2019re often a good visual deterrent. Seeing an intruder alarm on a property will often discourage a potential intruder from trespassing or trying to break in.\r\n\r\n
Can scare off intruders<\/h5>\r\nAnother benefit to audible-only alarms is that they\u2019re very good at scaring off intruders. The loud noise they make will often deter intruders before they have the chance to cause any damage or pinch anything.\r\n\r\n
Handy if you know your neighbours<\/h5>\r\nAudible-only alarms are a good choice if you know your neighbours. If you have a good relationship with your neighbours and your alarm goes off, they can investigate or give you a call to let you know.\r\n\r\n
Alerts you if you\u2019re at home<\/h5>\r\nAnother advantage to audible-only alarms is that you can hear them go off when you\u2019re at home. They\u2019re loud enough to wake you up if you\u2019re asleep and give you the chance to investigate or call the police.\r\n\r\n
Economical<\/h5>\r\nAudible-only alarms are also economical. Once you\u2019ve bought and installed them they don\u2019t have any service charges or running costs.\r\n\r\n

Cons<\/h3>\r\n

Not guaranteed to catch intruders or make them leave<\/h5>\r\nUnfortunately, audible-only alarms aren\u2019t guaranteed to make intruders leave. If your alarm goes off and you\u2019re not at home or no-one comes to investigate then an intruder could quite easily stay on your property. According to the National Home Security Month website<\/a>, only 25%<\/strong> of homeowners would take action if they heard an alarm ringing in their neighbourhood.","post_title":"Audible-Only Alarms: Should You Install One?","post_excerpt":"Audible-only alarms are also known as bells-only alarms.

If you\u2019re thinking about improving your property security then they\u2019re definitely worth considering.\r\n\r\nA speech dialler alarm connects to a property\u2019s phone line. If the alarm is triggered it will send a pre-recorded message to a list of phone numbers that you\u2019ve supplied, including your own. The idea is that at least one of the people that it contacts will be available and able to investigate or call the police \u2013 whatever you\u2019ve asked them to do. The first person to listen to the message can press a key or enter a code to stop anyone else receiving it so you don\u2019t get multiple people responding.\r\n\r\nSpeech dialler alarms can be ideal for lots of property owners but they\u2019re not suitable for everyone. To help you decide if you should buy one, we\u2019ve compiled a list of their advantages and disadvantages.\r\n\r\n

Advantages<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

Alerts you wherever you are<\/h5>\r\nA big advantage to speech dialler alarms is that they can contact you wherever you are. You just need to make sure that you\u2019ve got your phone with you and have put your number in the system. Then your alarm can alert you to intruders whether you\u2019re inside the house or out and about.\r\n\r\n
Handy if you have friends or family close by<\/h5>\r\nSpeech dialler alarms are a good choice of alarm if you have friends or family close by. If you put your numbers into the system then hopefully they\u2019ll be able to get round to your house fairly promptly, if that\u2019s what you\u2019d like them to do.\r\n\r\n
Good visual deterrent<\/h5>\r\nSpeech dialler alarms can also be a great visual deterrent. If you pick one that stands out and put it in a prominent place on your property then it can stop potential intruders from going any further.\r\n\r\n
Economical<\/h5>\r\nAnother benefit to speech dialler alarms is that they\u2019re relatively economical. After you\u2019ve bought and installed one the only money you\u2019ll need to pay is your phone bill if it calls anyone.\r\n\r\n

Disadvantages<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

You need a landline<\/h5>\r\nA potential downside to speech dialler alarms is that you need a landline to fit them. While this isn\u2019t a problem for everyone, lots of people nowadays don\u2019t have a one.\r\n\r\n
They can be sabotaged<\/h5>\r\nIt\u2019s possible to sabotage a speech dialler alarm by cutting its phone line. This will stop it calling out and alerting you and other people to the problem. So if you have an intruder who knows what they\u2019re doing, they might be able to disable the alarm without you knowing.\r\n\r\n
No guaranteed response<\/h5>\r\nAnother disadvantage to speech dialler alarms is that they don\u2019t guarantee a response. If your alarm can\u2019t get through to any of the phone numbers you\u2019ve given it then nobody will know you have intruders.","post_title":"Speech Dialler Alarms: the Advantages and Disadvantages","post_excerpt":"Speech dialler alarms are one of many types of intruder alarms.

They\u2019re the only type of alarm that guarantees a response if there are intruders in your home.\r\n\r\nMonitored alarms connect to a monitoring station, known as an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). If the alarm goes off then it alerts the monitoring station. Personnel at the station will then notify you and contact other key-holders and\/or the police, as and when necessary.\r\n\r\nMonitored alarms have lots of advantages but they don\u2019t suit everyone. To help you work out if you should install one in your property, we\u2019ve made a list of their benefits and drawbacks. \r\n \r\n

Benefits<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

Guaranteed response<\/h5>\r\nOne of the main reasons why property owners install monitored alarms is because they guarantee a response. The monitoring stations that the alarms communicate with operate 24\/7, which means no matter when your alarm gets sent off, the station will respond.\r\n\r\n
Don\u2019t need to be available or rely on others<\/h5>\r\nAnother benefit to monitored alarms is that they don\u2019t rely on you or other people you trust being close by. Audible-only and speech dialler alarms depend on someone being available to receive the alert and inspect the property or call the police. Monitored alarms, on the other hand, can do this for you.\r\n\r\n

Drawbacks<\/h3>\r\n\r\n

Expensive<\/h5>\r\nA downside to monitored alarms is that they can end up being quite expensive. After you\u2019ve bought and installed one, you\u2019ll need to pay an annual subscription to the monitoring station. Most alarms will also require you to set up an annual maintenance contract with the alarm installation company.\r\n\r\n
Possible to disable them<\/h5>\r\nAnother drawback to monitored alarms is that it's possible to disable them. If your alarm only communicates with the monitoring station via a phone line and this is cut, this will stop your alarm from alerting anyone. So intruders who know what they\u2019re doing may be able to avoid detection.","post_title":"Monitored Alarms: Does Your Property Need One?","post_excerpt":"Monitored alarms are a common type of intruder alarm.

Why? Because according to UK Fire Service Resources<\/a>, nearly 500 people are killed and over 11,000 injured in house fires every year. A fire alarm will alert you with a loud beeping if it detects a fire and give you extra time to leave your home safely.\r\n\r\n

What types of fire alarm can you get?<\/h3>\r\n\r\nThere are 3 main types of fire alarm:\r\n\r\n

Smoke detectors<\/h5>\r\nSmoke detectors detect fire through smoke sensors. If they sense a significant amount of smoke in a room then they will go off. Ionisation smoke detectors are best at detecting fast-flaming fires, while optical smoke detectors are better at detecting slow, smouldering fires.\r\n\r\nSmoke detectors are suitable for most areas of your home. However, you should avoid fitting them in your kitchen as they\u2019re easy to set off when you\u2019re cooking.\r\n\r\n
Heat detectors<\/h5>\r\nHeat detectors detect fire through heat sensors. They will go off if they sense a significant rise in temperature, which, in most cases indicates a fire. Heat detectors are the best type of fire alarm to fit in your kitchen as they\u2019re unlikely to go off unnecessarily.\r\n\r\n
Combined smoke and heat alarms<\/h5>\r\nCombined smoke and heat alarms detect fire using both heat and smoke sensors. This reduces the chances of them giving false alarms and means they detect fires more quickly. Because combined alarms detect smoke, they\u2019re not suitable for kitchens.\r\n\r\n

Where should I fit my fire alarms?<\/h3>\r\nFire alarms should be fitted on ceilings, at least 30cm away from any light fittings and as close to the centre of a room as possible. If you can, aim to fit a fire alarm in every room of your home apart from any bathrooms. The minimum amount of fire alarms you should have in your home is one per level. \r\n\r\nWherever your alarms are, you should ensure that you\u2019ll be able to hear them when you\u2019re asleep.\r\n\r\nSome fire alarms run off batteries, while others are powered by mains electricity.

These regulations will only apply to certain alarm installations. For example, Part P building regulations only apply to certain categories of electrical work, such as installing new fixed circuits.\r\n\r\nIf you have work done on your home that does not meet building regulations, you may face prosecution by the local authority. They could also enforce the law by requiring you to have remedial work done. Also, if you plan on selling the home, any work that does not meet building regulations may affect your ability to sell.\r\n

What are building regulations?<\/h2>\r\nBuilding regulations are standards for building design and construction. The government sets the regulations, and building work must meet them. The building regulations are in force to make sure that buildings are safe and energy efficient.\r\n

How do building regulations apply to alarm installations?<\/h3>\r\nTwo parts of the building regulations apply to alarm installations. Part P covers electrical work, and Part B covers fire safety.\r\n

Part P regulations for electrical work<\/h3>\r\nThe part of the building regulations that applies to electrical installations is called Part P. It only applies to some kinds of alarm installations. If your alarm system is a \u2018plug and play\u2019 type which uses batteries or plugs into a standard mains socket, in general\u00a0Part P regulations don't apply. This means that for these types of alarms you can carry out the installation yourself without notifying your local authority.\r\n\r\nHowever, for installation of alarm systems which connect directly to the mains, Part P regulations will generally apply. Part P of the building regulations specifies that a competent person must install new electrical circuits and spurs or you must have the local authority inspect them.\r\n\r\nThe easiest way to comply with Part P regulations is to use a certified electrician. There are a range of competent persons schemes in place, such as NAPIT<\/a>.\r\n\r\nA certified electrician should carry out all electrical work. This gives you peace of mind that the installation is safe and reliable. For alarm systems, it\u2019s vital to have a reliable source of power to make sure your alarm can operate effectively.\r\n\r\nPart P regulations also require circuits for mains powered smoke alarms to be separate from circuits with other electrical appliances. If you\u2019re not sure how you power your smoke alarms, have a certified electrician carry out an electrical survey on your home. A professional electrician can advise you of the best way to meet Part P building regulations. Your local authority may also have advice.\r\n

Part B building regulations for fire safety<\/h3>\r\nPart B of the building regulations covers fire safety. This includes the number of fire alarms that a property must have, as well as where they must be positioned. These regulations only apply to newly built properties or to properties that have had major refurbishment work. Different local authorities have different standards of what major refurbishment means in practice. Generally, it means an extension or loft\/garage conversion. Check with your local authority if you\u2019re not sure.\r\n\r\nPart B states that a fire alarm early warning system must be installed in domestic properties. The number of alarms varies depending on the size of the property. In general, you should install at least 2 optical smoke alarms and a heat alarm in the kitchen. These alarms should all be mains powered and have a battery backup. The alarms must also meet British Standards.\r\n\r\nOverall, it's best to speak to a professional electrician or alarm installation company\u00a0to make sure the installation of your alarm system meets building regulations. They will make sure they install your alarm system safely ensure that it is effective. You can also check with your local authority<\/a>. Their website may have advice on alarm systems and building regulations in your area.

There are several different types of alarm system available to protect your home. For example, there are audible only systems which only make a noise when the alarm goes off. There are also more sophisticated systems which automatically contact response centres. \r\n\r\nAlarm systems will generally not need planning permission. You won't need to apply for planning permission to fit most small security and smoke alarms. But extra restrictions may apply if you want a bigger security alarm system. They can also apply if you\u2019re in a listed building or conservation area.\r\n\r\n

What is planning permission?<\/h3>\r\nPlanning permission is a system that\u2019s enforced by local authorities across the UK. For some kinds of building work, you have to apply for permission from the authority. This system allows local authorities to control the building work that\u2019s done in their area. By doing this, the authority can make sure that work is safe. They also check that building work has been planned and designed properly.\r\n\r\n

Planning permission for alarms<\/h3>\r\nYou can install most alarm systems without applying for planning permission. You can install a wired or wireless alarm system on your property, along with sensors and alarm boxes. Make sure your installation complies with part P of the building regulations. You may need planning permission if your alarm system includes security lights. Security lights can cause a privacy issue or be disruptive to neighbours.\r\n\r\nIf you live in a listed building or conservation area, it's more complicated. You'll need to apply for listed building consent or planning permission to install an alarm system. This process works differently in different areas. Local authorities may have varying attitudes towards security systems. For more information about your area, speak to your local authority.\r\n\r\n

Other regulations<\/h3>\r\nBe careful that your alarm system doesn\u2019t trigger frequent false alarms. Regular nuisance alarms can be a public nuisance or an environmental health issue. This noise pollution can be a problem if neighbours or members of the public complain. Properly fitted and tested alarm systems will not cause frequent false alarms. If you\u2019re having problems with your alarms system, speak to an alarm installation company. They will be able to check your existing alarm system and give you advice on the best way to fix any problems.\r\n\r\nSo now you know how planning permission relates to alarm systems. If you\u2019re not sure if your alarm system needs planning permission, check with your local authority. You can find your local authority\u2019s website through the government\u2019s tool<\/a>.","post_title":"Planning Permission for Alarms","post_excerpt":"Domestic alarm systems do not usually need planning permission.
