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 in the Event of an Intrusion

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. In the event of a burglary or intrusion, seconds count when it comes to both the safety of your family and the protection of your belongings.  Our home burglar alarm systems communicate with our 24-hr Security Command Center when intrusion has been detected.

Our systems are designed 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 and upon receipt of signal our team reacts on average in 20 seconds,or less, to get you the help you need.

Cutting 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 helps ensure immediate transmission of alarm signals to our 24-Hour Security Command Center is also a key factor in the overall security of your home.

Burglar Alarm System and Families

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 allowing busy families that extra element of security when it comes to our most valuable asset.

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.
