Is it time to upgrade your intruder alarm system? If your system is over 15 years old, you’re likely to benefit from an upgrade.
Many of our systems were originally installed in the 80s and 90s. Whilst a most of our customers have upgraded to benefit from a more up to date and secure system, some are still using these very old systems.
If you’ve still got an old intruder alarm system, think of it like hanging on to an old flip phone in an age of smartphones. Yes you can still make calls, but you’re missing out on a world of convenience, security, and peace of mind.
Here’s why upgrading your intruder alarm system is a smart move;
Technology evolves, and unfortunately, so do the tactics of intruders. Older systems, while modern in their time, are now out of date and don’t offer the same level of security or convenience
Old alarm systems might perform basic functions, but they lack the advanced features of modern systems. They typically have limited communication capabilities and are only offering a small proportion of the benefits you could see from a more up to date system. Like cars which evolved from using window winders and cassette decks to now offering full smart phone integration and electric windows, alarms have new features for your convenience. Setting fobs, pet friendly sensors, app control and wireless detectors all contribute to convenience and peace of mind.
Cars have come a long way in a few short years.
So have intruder alarms.
When you upgrade your intruder alarm system, you’ll see so many benefits
There are so many benefits when you upgrade your intruder alarm system. The most obvious is improved home security and peace of mind. But they extend beyond this…
Upgrading to a modern intruder alarm system is like trading in your old banger for a state-of-the-art electric car. Gone are the days of complex codes and cryptic instructions. Modern systems are designed with user experience in mind. Simply swipe your fob or set the system from your smart phone. It means you spend less time figuring out how to arm or disarm your system and more time enjoying the security it provides. Imagine being able to control your alarm system with the tap of a screen, no matter where you are in the world. With new technology, remote monitoring and control are at your fingertips. Whether you’re at work, on holiday or just out for a walk, you can check in on your home and adjust settings through a smartphone app, ensuring your peace of mind.
Now you can even select a finish to match your interiors, for an instagramable security system! Chrome effect or matt black keypads blend effortlessly into your existing home design. Ancient yellowing detectors are replaced for new. Our glow in the dark bell box highlights your security and shows off your commitment to protecting your property.
But its not just surface features that have improved. Behind the box, technology has improved offering monitoring which no longer relies on old analogue phone systems, whilst wireless capability allows you to protect your property without the need for cabling, extending the functionality of your system.
Can’t you just repair your old system?
Remember how difficult it can be to find parts for an old car? The same goes for outdated alarm systems. As technology advances, components for older systems become harder to find, making repairs and maintenance more costly and complicated. In some cases, where an old system has a fault, it may no longer be repairable, leaving you with no alternative but to upgrade. Why not just wait for this scenario you ask? Simply because it leaves you without a working system for a period of time between the fault and the installation of the replacement system. Using the old car analogy, it’s like waiting for your car to break down before you replace it. You’d have a time between the old car breaking down and being able to get the new car in which you’d have no transport.
Planning ahead is key to the continuous protection of your property. In upgrading you will have a more reliable system and more functionality.
