QUESTION 1:

How much should I be spending on a Security System?

This is a very open ended question and depends on a number of issues.

1. Size of premises.
2. Type of Environment – Is the garage sealed ? Are there pets inside?
3. Do you want to use the system when you are home or working late? (This may require all the doors and windows protected. This can dramatically increase the price)
4. Is the system to be monitored?

ANSWER TO QUESTION 1:

There is no straightforward answer. It depends on what features you require and how you wish to use the system. If we take a normal home for example, around 20 Squares, there are normally 3 external doors and it would take 4-5 detectors to cover the inside sufficiently.

It should raise suspicion if the described system was under $900.00 including installation.

If it was, it would raise questions such as:

1. Quality of Equipment
2. Quality of Workmanship
3. Is the wiring to the local Standards?
4. Does the firm hold a Security License?
5. What is the warranty period?
6. Do they offer 24 Hour support?
7. Can the system expand to cater if you extend?
