Home Alarm System Quality Equipment

You already know there there are a lot of factors that go into purchasing a quality home alarm system. Something which we think is important, but sometimes gets glossed is the actual equipment that is being put into your home. Every alarm system is built a little differently, including the equipment. The thing is, does it really make a huge difference? We think yes, so today we are going to go over a few companies who make engineer the equipment for a few of the top alarm system companies out there.

The first alarm system company that we are going to cover is Honeywell. Honeywell makes equipment for a number of alarm system companies out there including Brinks (now Broadview), Protection One and ADT (one of our favorites). Their equipment is pretty progressive and they make a touch scree keypad which will connect via cellular network to your smartphone, tablet or laptop. Their equipment is used by a number of companies, because the companies know that it works and can rely on it for a a long term product use.

Another recognizable company we’d like to introduce is General Electric. GE has been making home alarm system equipment which is now known as Interlogix. Their most popular series of alarm control panels are the Simon series and the Concord series.

The most widely used GE control panel is the Simon XT. The Simon XT offers secure wireless technology in a small sized package. Simon XT can sit on a table or can be mounted and only needs a plug for power. The Simon XT can handle a variety (well over 100) of home automation devices and 40 alarm sensors. It’s the perfect set up for a Do It Yourself alarm systems installation. On top of all this, the Simon XT is an extremely affordable home alarm system.

Hopefully this has helped you understand a little bit more about the equipment which is used to power home alarm systems. The best thing to do is call and ask a company who makes their equipment and do more research on your own about the quality of the product.
