How to Eliminate Home Security Monitoring Charges

Deter the potential intruder before getting close to your house. The perimeter monitoring systems sound an alarm when someone enters your yard and can be calibrated so the motion of an animal or leaves blowing will not activate the alarm. The alarm will be a warning for you or your neighbors to call the police.

Install sensors on your windows and doors, put motion detectors in rooms or install a surveillance camera in your house. These can be found at the local hardware store. Connect them to an alarm in the house, which will deter the intruder from staying.

Advertise that you have a monitored alarm system in your home. Yard signs and window decals can be affixed to lower level windows that warn the house has an alarm and is monitored. Another sign that will make the potential intruder think twice about entering your home is "Beware of Dog." They will find another unprotected home to invade.

Eliminate home security monitoring charges by installing a security system that automatically calls for help. The auto-dialer security systems can be programmed to call up to six phone numbers when the alarm is set off. Wireless sensors, glass break detector and motion detector can easily be installed by the homeowner. These auto-dialer security systems can come with a loud alarm, and with some devices, flashing lights to scare the burglar out of the house.
