What This Service Covers

An alarm system uses sensors on doors, windows, and interior spaces to detect entry and respond — whether that's a siren, a phone notification, or both. We install and configure sensors and the central hub so the system reflects how your home is actually used, not a one-size-fits-all setup.

When Homeowners Need This

Alarm systems are a strong fit for homeowners focused on entry detection specifically, and they pair naturally with cameras for homes that want both detection and visual confirmation.

Features & Options to Consider

  • Door and window contact sensors
  • Interior motion sensors
  • Central panel or app-based hub
  • Entry delay and arming schedules
  • Notification and alert preferences
  • Pairing with existing cameras, if present
Process

How Installation Works

  1. Entry Point Review

    We identify every door, window, and interior space worth covering.

  2. Sensor Planning

    Door/window contacts and motion sensors are matched to the right locations.

  3. Installation

    Sensors and the central hub or panel are mounted and wired or paired.

  4. Testing & Arming

    Every sensor is tested, and arm/disarm and notification settings are set up with you.

FAQ

Alarm System Installation FAQs

What's the difference between a door sensor and a motion sensor?

A door or window sensor detects when that specific point is opened. A motion sensor detects movement within a room or area, which is useful for interior coverage once entry has already occurred.

Does an alarm system call the police automatically?

That depends on whether the system is connected to a monitoring service, which is a separate decision from installation. We can talk through self-monitored versus professionally monitored options.

Can I arm and disarm the system from my phone?

Most current systems support app-based arming and disarming in addition to a physical keypad, which we set up during installation.

How many sensors does my home need?

It depends on the number of exterior doors, ground-floor windows, and interior areas you want covered — something we scope out during your free quote.
