American Alarm & Communications, Inc.

20 Seconds or Less...

Burglar alarms, also known as intrusion detection systems, are a fundamental part of a comprehensive home security system. American Alarm offers burglar alarm systems for homes of any size or design.

Avoid Communication Delays

It's hard to believe, but some other alarm companies purposely program communication delays of up to four minutes into their home burglar alarms. They do this because their systems are prone to false alarms and their distant monitoring centers can't handle the volume. They delay transmission of an alarm signal to give the homeowner a chance to respond and correct the false alarm. This is not true security.

American Alarm will never use communication delays. Our systems are engineered and installed with the highest standards of quality, virtually eliminating false alarms from a system problem. If there is a break-in at your home, a signal will be sent immediately and our team reacts in under 20 seconds, on average, to get you the help needed.

Leading Edge Burglar Alarm Technology

Home burglar alarm systems can include:

• Perimeter sensors on doors and windows
• Interior motion sensors, both passive infrared or dual technology
• Sensors that detect glass breakage, or unusual shock and vibrations in or around the home
• Keyless entry technology
• Programmable alerts that can be sent via email and text message

Burglar Alarm Monitoring

As important as the technology and design of our home burglar alarm systems is the monitoring team standing behind them and our Seconds Count Policy which insures immediate transmission of alarm signals to our 24-Hour Security Command Center.

Burglar Alarm System and Parents

The latest generation of home burglar alarm systems can be fitted with keyless entry technology. They can be programmed to send e-mail or text message alerts when the system is armed or disarmed. For example, parents can get a message when a child comes home from school and enters their unique access code into the alarm panel.

Burglar Alarm Systems and Pets

Your system can be designed with pets in mind, so that dogs or cats with the run of the house do not create false alarms.
