Home security alarms are devises designed to detect unlawful entry into your premises. There are many kinds of alarms, but broadly they can be categorized into two types, bell only alarms and monitored alarms.

If you are on a budget and do not want to spend that much money, but you want to increase the security of your home, a door alarm or a driveway alarm are great options for you. Door alarms are alarms that are triggered when the door that it is installed on is opened or if the handle is just turned.

These are usually pretty affordable options. Driveway alarm is also a good option for people on a budget. These alarms are usually much more expensive than door alarms, but they are also pretty affordable when compared to the price of a security system.

In contrast, monitored alarms are alarms, which refer the home security breach to an off site, third party observer, usually an alarm monitoring company. There are two types of monitored alarms, bell alarms, which produce audible, high-pitched tones, and silent alarms, which are not heard by the intruder.

Regardless of the type, both audible and silent, monitored home security alarms function in the same way. With monitored alarm systems, when your home security is breached an instant alarm activation is passed to a central monitoring station through your phone line alerting the security company of the problem. The security monitoring company will then dispatch a security guard to attend your premises to investigate the cause of the alarm.
