My view on anti-burglar systems (alarms are for wusses ABS = real men ;))))))
 
stage 1...alarm sounds lights flash voice announcements t the asshole that he is in BIG trouble
stage 2...alarm volume increases t just below the pain threshold...strobe lights start just within the legal limits ...razor wire appears out of as many places as possible
stage 3...the Vomit alarm (recent article on an alarm that makes anyone vomit within 30 seconds) starts...random laser flashes (best to have your home registered as an optical experiments laboratory)  electrify any 'accidentally' oncovered High volatge supplies.
Stage 4 "Int the valley of death..."
 
should sort the anti social bugers ;)
 
Cheers
Mick
PS I have never been burgled..imagine what would happen if I was ;)

Sums it up really, the council probably installed the cheapest, crappiest alarms they could, no training for the users and no maintenance then when they keep going off no one uses them, another waste of money and a blot on systems which do work and the companies wh install them.
 
A reliable audible alarm is far better than non at all, they should not give false alarms if installed, maintained and used correctly. One thing is for sure if you are broken int the burglar will not wait around with the alarm going off and you won't come home t find someone in the house as you walk in. A nice loud sounder inside as well as the one outside is a must.
 
I wonder how many people wh install their own systems actually carry out any maintenance or even know how to?

Me t o. Andrew @ comfort seemed t think it strange that i haven't got a siren connected but the council fitted free alarms t 90% of the properties opposite. No body takes the slightest notice of sirens unless they repeat long enough and then residents took it upon themselve t silence it by knocking the bell box completely off the wall.

I only have comfort calling me on the mobile.
