why outdated security systems can become not only a problem but also a risk

« This fact reveals a paradoxical situation – residents invest in security systems to ensure the safety of their property and relatives, but often the possibilities of these systems remain untouched. Un -to -turn, broken sensors, or even ignorance that the system is no longer working, leads to technical measures. Director of the Department Donatas Pocius.

Who betrays the malfunction of the security system?

According to a security expert D. Pocius, installing the security system alone is not enough. In order to ensure long -term security, it is necessary not only to check it regularly, but also to upgrade over time as outdated systems may lose their efficiency. It is also useful to pay attention to several essential factors that signal the malfunctioning of the home security system:

1 Sensitivity sensors and inaccurate images that transmit the cameras

One of the main components of the security system is sensors. They are the first to respond to hacking or other dangers. However, over time, these devices may lose sensitivity, which can lead to the system not capturing the intruder movements. Be aware that if a sensor does not work, it does not transmit a signal to the central of the security system, so that area or room becomes unsafe, regardless of the fact that other zones sensors work without reproach. In this case, when the thief enters the area where the sensor does not work, the alarm will not transfer the alarm to the security service and the intruder will be able to « work » in your home without any obstacles.

Video cameras are also an important protective tool, but outdated, unclean, poorly acting cameras may not capture an intruder face or other important details that will help to explain the crime faster.

2. Impaired alarm sound

Equally important component of the security system is an audible signal. If the alarm sound is improper, for example, it is too quiet or does not work at all, it may result in the offender not frightened, and the neighbors and the people around them will not hear the alarm. This can be a critical mistake as the sound of the alarm often acts as the first warning for both owners and those around you.

3. False alarms

Outdated systems can also work in the absence of real threats, such as a small animal or a stronger gust of wind. To avoid false danger signals, some homeowners do not handle the failure, but simply disconnect such sensors, but such reckless solution not only reduces the efficiency of the security system, but also creates a simulated sense of security.

In addition, constant false signals eventually reduce the confidence of the population in the security system. In this case, residents are no longer seriously responding to danger signals and may reject the real threat as another insignificant signal.

Outdated technique restricts the security of modern homes

Another pressing problem is that older generation security systems are often not compatible with modern technology, which significantly restricts their functionality.

According to D. Pocius, the security specialist of the Excommunications Bureau, many of these security systems have no integration with mobile gadgets, making them difficult or even impossible. In addition, they often do not support integration with smart home systems and cannot be linked to smart door calls, garage door opening, lighting and heating control or other smart devices. Not only do such restrictions cause inconvenience, but it also hinders efficiently ensuring comprehensive home security and automated control.

It is also worth noting that older types of security systems often do not provide the ability to receive real -time messages. In such cases, housewives cannot remotely monitor when the system has been turned on or off, when testing or recorded alarms.

The new generation of systems fit in with a modern interior

« We notice that the aesthetic image of security systems is equally important to our customers. The equipment must fit with the interior of the home, reflect the customer’s expectation to have cozy, elegant and stylish houses. Unfortunately, the older system that lack modernity, in a modern interior, often spoils the image, » said the Electronic Safety Department.

In many cases, old security systems have large, clumsy centrals that have to be concealed in cabinets or in specially adapted areas, he said. In addition, some manufacturers simply do not fit into modern interior solutions, both in their shape, color gamut or finishing materials.

« It is also important to mention that older protection systems not only look aesthetically, but also their control is based on buttons, while modern systems are usually controlled by a smart touch screen or mobile app, » Pocius summarized.

Order your own security system technical inspection or immediately update the security system while the Exkomisari Bureau specialists will help you choose, apply to your needs and will be installed;
