Alarms according to the type of home
1. Floors
Not all homes are the same and apartments require a completely different kit than other types of homes. Securing the entrances is the main thing. We will have elements such as the opening and vibration sensor for doors and windows if it is located on a floor accessible from the street.
We recommend you to see our kit designed for floors
2. Villas and townhouses
The particularities of a villa, townhouse or detached house mean that we have to consider quite different types of residential alarms compared to those used in apartments.
Here it will be extremely important to have perimeter detection devices to prevent the arrival to the house, which will follow the same security procedure as those installed in the house itself to monitor all access points, windows, entrances and exits. For this purpose, all the areas and angles that must be covered will be studied.
We recommend you to see our kit designed for villas and townhouses.
3. First floors and attics
Do you live in a first floor or an attic? These homes offer advantages such as greater privacy or access to a terrace, but also a number of drawbacks in terms of security, which make it different from an apartment, as they are more vulnerable to theft due to the casuistry of their entrances to the house.
For this purpose, there are specific kits that include devices to cover areas such as the patio or terraces, as well as door and window sensors or infrared photodetectors that detect any movement.
We recommend you to see our kit designed for first floors and attics.
All SICOR Alarms allow you to protect your home as you need, depending on the time of day activates the area you want to protect to feel safe.
Depending on the area
When choosing the right type of alarm, the specific area you need to protect is also taken into account.
Single zone: in this case the alarm is only focused on protecting a specific area.
Multiple zones: when the house is large or has to cover even part of the land and garden or is an office building or business with several floors, it is most common to use a type of alarm that controls different areas.
According to its function
Presence of intruders
The presence of intruders is the main objective of any type of alarm so all kits, from the most basic to the most sophisticated, cover this function. They are designed so that all homes and businesses have complete protection.
In SICOR Alarms we also have early detection of the possible entry of any malefactor to your home or business through vibration sensors of doors or windows, which can be installed at any access to the house and there are also infrared cameras and perimeter alarms to be detected even in the vicinity of the house, making your villa, townhouse, first floor or attic much safer.
It is also the most commonly used function for apartments that do not have terraces or other types of easier access to ensure safety inside.
2. Anti-fire
The fire security system is usually part of an extension of the alarm, being a very specific and sophisticated device that, in addition to protecting homes against burglaries and intrusions, helps to prevent fires through the installation of devices that alert against fire or smoke, in order to intervene immediately to avoid any material or personal damage.
3. Flood detection
Like the fire protection system, it is part of an alarm extension.
However, with SICOR Alarms' flood detectors, characterized by their high sensitivity, we can quickly detect water leaks and other situations, avoiding major problems and alerting the security forces, such as firefighters, etc.
According to the system
Wired alarms
There is a tendency to think that wired alarms are of superior quality in terms of security and life time despite the obvious disorder at the time of installation, it requires some work for all the wiring and in general the inhibitors used by some intruders are not effective for this type of alarms, but the reality is that the alarms have come a long way and using superior technology such as those of SICOR Alarms already have an equal security whether or not wired.
Cable alarms also have a greater range of action.
The different types of alarms, both wired and wireless alarms can be connected to an ARC, the Alarm Receiving Center, which is responsible for viewing the alert, checking the alarm and mobilizing the security forces in case there is an intrusion.
2. Wireless alarms
Wireless alarms have a great advantage and it is that it is not necessary to carry out works in the house at the time of installation and they are much faster to put into operation since they are active on the same day.
The use of inhibitors by thieves may seem a problem to choose this type of alarms, but currently the technology used by SICOR Alarms can detect this inhibition instantly and communicate with the user the incident and notify the police if necessary, so if they are sabotaging the security system we will know before they have entered the house.
In addition, if possible, we connect the alarm to the Internet via Ethernet cable so that we have a double communication channel that cannot be inhibited.
That is why these types of alarms are one of the most widely used in both homes and businesses.

Connected alarms
A connected alarm is synonymous with an alarm connected to the ARC (Alarm Receiving Center). Having such a connection allows us, in the case of alarm jumps, to verify at the time if it is a real alarm and that our professionals can notify the police. All SICOR Alarmas alarms are connected to our Alarm Reception Center (ARC) 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Outdoor and perimeter alarms
The perimeter alarms are indicated for the security of the outdoor areas of a villa, townhouse or houses with patios, porches, gardens or terraces thanks to the perimeter outdoor detectors, which are able to identify the presence of an intruder on the perimeter of the house through its sensors and cameras specially designed for these areas with infrared etc..
This zone can be activated independently from the one inside the home, being compatible with the use of the house. It simply activates the exteriors allowing the transit inside the house.
