Achieving Safety With A Burglar Alarm
Years ago, home burglar alarms were only found with rich homes. These days however, the prices have dropped and they are becoming more common with homes of average folk. A lot of people who invest in burglar systems go for the do it yourself systems. They can be wired or wireless, setting off an alarm when an intruder attempts to break in or when they are moving around inside of your house.
With home burglar alarms, there are two types - open and closed circuit. Open circuit systems work by setting off an alarm when the circuit closes. When a window or a door is opened, the circuit is immediately completed and the alarm goes off. Closed circuit systems work the opposite way. When a window or door is opened, the circuit is broken - also setting off the alarm.
Another, more sophisticated option, are motion sensors. Motion sensors sense any type of motion within a certain radius to the sensor. Once it has sensed any motion, it sends a signal out to the control panel that will analyze it and see if the movement is considered suspicious. If the movement is indeed considered suspicious, it will react to the way you have it set up and inform the proper authorities or sound the alarm.
Motion sensors can also be adjusted as well. You can adjust them for things such as pets walking around or any other activity that is common with your home that wouldn’t signify a burglary taking place. Motion sensor alarms are very common these days, and one of the best ways to keep your home safe from a burglar - and give you peace of mind in knowing that you are protected.
Normally, it’s a good idea to use motion sensors and magnetic switches with your burglar alarm setup. Magnetic switches will protect doors and windows while the motion sensors will help to protect larger rooms, such as living rooms and hallways. The combination of the two is never a bad idea - and will go a long way in protecting your home.
...Watchdog wins fight against burglar alarm company European Environmental Controls
"The history of this operation goes back to at least 2003"
A bit further than that I think! I got a job with these scumbags back in 1997, as a "trainee manager" (Everyone who applies gets the job)
They work by making new starters work as a door canvasser, but you are basically working on commission only, and using the name "EEC" to confuse people into thinking its some kind of EU grant. Then a hard sales person visits and forces the sale with the worst kind of sales tactics - eg £2000 for a security light!
The average age is around 25, and some are earning well over £2000 per week on a high commission structure - if you don't hit targets, then you are shamed in front of the whole team.
The team moves across the UK living in hotels, with company supplied expensive cars.(One had lost his licenses due to drink driving, and was given a chauffeur!) They only stay in an area for 2 weeks max before moving on.
There is a cult like feeling to the company, and John Ball is a slime ball, who will offer new girls "PA" positions to go on "conferences" with him. I'm sure I don't need to explain the rest of that part.
