Apartment Security Systems

Apartment dwellers, including renters, are as much at risk from intruders as anybody else. Many would feel more secure with the protection of a home security system regardless of any security measures that have been put in place by the building’s management.

Trouble is that in many cases the building’s management will not permit the installation of apartment security systems.

At least that may be the situation with hard-wired systems that require the drilling of many holes and the running of yards of cable under floors and behind walls. Landlords, understandably, do not like renters altering their property in any way.

Wireless systems, on the other hand, require little alteration to your apartment due to the fact that there is no (or very little) cable to run. Because of this your apartment management may allow renters to install wireless apartment security systems whereas they would refuse hardwired.

Another plus with a wireless alarm is that it is as easy to uninstall as it is to install. This portability means that you can take your alarm system with you (rather than leave it for the benefit of the landlord) when you move to a better apartment or a home of your own.

Are Renters Allowed to Install Apartment Security Systems?

When a burglar sets off a monitored alarm system a signal is dispatched to a central monitoring station. The station will then call your home to substantiate if it is a real emergency being reported or a false alarm. The monitoring station staff will request a pass code, should an incorrect pass code be given, or the call remains unanswered, the police are then notified.

Monitoring incurs a fee, of course, (usually paid monthly) and you will invariably need to sign a contract agreement for one to five years.

If you rent an apartment you may not wish to enter an agreement if there is the possibility that you will move home in the near future. How then, can you enjoy the protection of a wireless apartment security system?

There is a system that is completely wireless but is not monitored, so no monthly fee and no contract, but does have many of the advantages of a monitored alarm system.

The Protector Plus X10 does not call a monitoring station when it is triggered but dials up to four numbers of your choice. If the system does not receive a response from the first number that you selected, likely your own cell phone, the Protector Plus dials up the next number, a neighbor or family member perhaps, and works on through your list until somebody answers.

A message, that you have recorded, is then played and you can listen in to your home through the system and determine if a burglary is taking place and call the police if necessary.

The Protector Plus is installed with out any drilling holes or embedding cables, (no upsetting the landlord,) so many are in use as apartment security systems. In fact double-sided tape is included so it is not even necessary to make screw holes to fit the sensors and detectors.

The basic system comes complete with control console and all the sensors and detectors that you need for a small apartment, if your apartment is a bit larger you can easily expand your Protector Plus to suit with extra sensors and detectors. Installs in under thirty minutes and, should you move, uninstalls without ruining the walls of your apartment. A once only purchase - wireless home security with no monthly fees.
