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.

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. 

En SICOR alarmas El Corte Inglés además tenemos detección anticipada de la posible entrada de cualquier malhechor a su hogar o negocio a través de sensores de vibración de puertas o ventanas, que se pueden instalar en cualquier acceso a la vivienda y además existen cámaras con infrarrojos y alarmas perimetrales para que incluso se detecte en las inmediaciones a la casa, haciendo su chalet, adosado, bajo o ático mucho más seguro.

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.

According to the system

Wired alarms

Se tiende a pensar que las alarmas mediante cable son de calidad superior en cuanto a seguridad y a tiempo de vida a pesar del evidente trastorno a la hora de su instalación, requiere algo de obra para todo el cableado y en general los inhibidores que usan algunos intrusos no tienen efectividad para este tipo de alarmas, pero la realidad es que las alarmas han avanzado mucho y utilizando una tecnología superior como las de las de SICOR alarmas El Corte Inglés ya tienen una seguridad igual lleven o no cables.

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.

El uso de inhibidores por los ladrones puede parecer un problema para elegir este tipo de alarmas, pero actualmente la tecnología que emplea SICOR alarmas El Corte Inglés podemos detectar esta inhibición al instante y comunicar con el usuario la incidencia y dar aviso a la policía si es necesario, por lo que si están saboteando el sistema de seguridad lo sabremos antes de que hayan entrado a la vivienda.
