The alarm siren has a very important use to warn in time about a threat. In the case of a home, an alarm may be announced especially in situations involving a robbery, burglary, etc. It is an effective warning that reaches many people, thanks to which they can quickly react by calling the police and other services. The acoustic signal is loud enough to motivate you to take action. The siren is both unpleasant for intruders and acts as a deterrent. It is no accident that many people decide to sound the alarm. What should you consider when buying it?

Where is the best place to place an alarm siren?
Taking into account the fact that alarm sirens are an effective deterrent to potential burglars, which translates into greater safety for household members, there is no doubt that it is worth investing in this alarm system. It is very important to know where to mount it. As it turns out, there are many places for an alarm. One of the best ones is the entrance door, because it is most often the first door that burglars break through. The sound of sirens will effectively scare them away. However, it is important that the siren is placed at the appropriate height and therefore inaccessible to unauthorized persons.
Another good place for installation is windows. Just like doors, windows are also the first barrier for burglars to overcome. The alarm siren located in this location will quickly notify you of the threat, discouraging further actions by thieves.
Alarm signals also work great in the garage, where burglars are trying to get in. This is a critical place for home security, because it is often difficult to notice that this is where thieves start their robbery. The wailing of sirens will immediately inform us that the intruders are starting their evil escapade.
The garage is another place where it is worth installing an alarm siren. Burglars often try to enter the house through the garage, so it is important that this place is properly secured. By installing a siren in the garage, we can effectively deter potential intruders.
If our property is fenced, we can install an alarm in this place. Already at the first attempt, while still away from the house, the thieves will be effectively scared and driven away.
Correct installation of the alarm siren
Assembly begins with the central module, which must be placed in a dedicated housing. It is most often made of steel or plastic. Once this is done, we can connect the power and ground wires. Alarms can be wired or wireless, which is of course important in terms of installation. In the case of the first type, we need to connect the signal cables. All of them should be placed at an appropriate distance, about 20 centimeters, from electrical cables.
Installing a wireless alarm system is easier. Just charge the battery or simply (depending on the model) place batteries in the central module and then check the power of the transmitted signal. It should have a strength of at least 40-50%. If it works properly, we can attach the control unit in the place we choose.
The next step is to install the manipulator, which should be at eye level. This will mainly facilitate activities related to it, i.e. arming and disarming the alarm. Next, let's install the signals. There are two types - internal and external. Let's place the first one in a place where the acoustic signal will be clearly audible throughout the house. The external one should be mounted at a sufficiently high height, for example on the front wall of the house.
An extremely important step is the placement of motion sensors. We especially recommend infrared models. It is worth placing them in the corner of the room, at the appropriate height - from 180 to 250 cm. They should include critical places such as entrance doors, windows, etc.
Finally, let's integrate the alarm system with the smart home installation, which will make its operation easier and more intuitive.
When is it worth choosing an alarm siren with a light signal?
The acoustic alarm informs about the occurrence of a threat using an acoustic signal. In many cases, this is an effective alarm announcement, but you can choose something even more reliable - an alarm siren with a light signal. It is able to notify about danger even faster. The combination of sound and strong warning light is the best way to attract attention, which is necessary in places such as public buildings or industrial areas.
It is no coincidence that they are also used in case of any type of contamination that may occur in a given area. An alarm siren with a light signal works so intensively that neither its sound nor lighting signals can be ignored, which is why it is so popular and present in a huge number of areas.
