Three Easy steps to order
Step 1
Look at your home from an intruder's point of view
Check your home to see what ways a person can enter your home. Be sure to make a note of all the doors and windows in your home. Then use the map below to see what type of contact you can use for each entry way. Don't forget about the added protection of motion sensors.
Door contact: All doors that exit or enter the house must have a contact. Can be set with a delay time or as instant.
Window contact: Useful for instant perimeter protection. Window contacts will trigger the alarm the moment the window is opened, even if the alarm is set on away mode. Very useful for those that want to keep the house armed at night.
Motion sensor: Useful for interior protection. If the alarm has not been triggered when someone has entered the house, the motion sensor is the secondary protection against break-ins. Install these components in central travel areas, such as hall ways and stair cases. Use to protect main living areas or rooms where the most valuable possesions are kept in storage.
