We from Alarma Total understand better than anyone that you want to optimally protect your home, business premises or other property. But where is the best place to place an alarm system for optimal results? With more than 20 years of experience in the security world, you have come to the right place for the answer to that question! Here you will find, among other things, where it is best to install contacts, sensors, detectors and cameras. Where you place the alarm system has a huge impact on its operation.
Install a motion sensor
An important part of reliable security is installing a motion sensor. These sensors cause an alarm to go off. They are often sensitive to movement and heat, so natural influences such as the wind have no influence. Choose a place where the intruder will walk past anyway. Do you have pets? Prevent a false alarm and hang the sensor high (1.20 m)! In addition, it is important that when you install a motion sensor, it is not hidden behind furniture or curtains.
Place camera
To clearly identify unwanted guests, it is important to place a camera in a suitable location. Install the camera in the corner of a room to minimize the camera's blind spot (missing view). Avoid angles above a window or door and do not let the camera film downwards. When you use a IP camera the cameras capture sharp images from a distance. When you are going to install a camera, it is best to aim it at doors.
Install siren
Something that should not be missing in your alarm system is a siren. It is best to place these in a place where the alarm can be heard everywhere. This depends on the house, but commonly used places are the living room, hall and stairs. The development of alarm systems has been rapid in recent years. There are different types of sirens with sound and light signals. Do you use an alarm system with light signals? Then you can place the siren in areas where someone is often present, such as the living room, bedroom or entrance in the case of companies.
