4 Questions About Home Security Systems Answered

How does a security system work?
A security system is a set of integrated components designed to protect a property, people, or information from potential threats or unauthorized access. Sensors detect common security breaches such as a door or window opening, the sound of breaking glass, or movement within a room. There are also sensors that detect changes in the home’s environment such as water leaks, low/high temperatures, smoke, or carbon monoxide. These sensors are dispersed throughout your home and connected, usually wirelessly, to a central control panel.

What happens when an alarm goes off?
When your alarm system goes off, you will hear a loud siren and your devices will be notified. You can disarm your system by entering a security code into the keypad or with your phone.

You can also use Smart Signal on your Alarm.com app to let your monitoring service know. They’ll be able to alert your local 911 dispatcher faster or cancel the false alarm immediately.

How do I move around the house with motion detectors?
Our systems have two operating modes: Home Mode and Away Mode. Home mode protects the perimeter of your house by activating only the door and window sensors, allowing you to move freely throughout your home.
