burglar alarms

Home intrusion alerts

Burglar alarms are security systems designed to detect unauthorized entry into a building.

They typically combine sensors on doors and windows with motion detectors, triggering loud sounds or alerting a monitoring service when tripped.

The burglar alarm went off at 3 a.m.

False alarms from pets or forgetful homeowners are common frustrations.
