Statistically burglaries also increase significantly during the summer months. With this said it is important to make sure your call list is up to date and you have tested your alarm to ensure communication. Also, arm your system even if you go away for a few minutes. If your alarm is not armed it cannot communicate a signal if someone attempts to break in. Taking a few extra steps can prevent a future break-in.

Did you know that it is well documented fact that security systems monitored by a qualified central station reduce crime. A study conducted by Temple University found that homes without a monitored security system are 2.7 to 3.5 times more likely to be burglarized. Homes without monitoring also suffer higher losses of break-ins. In addition, home owner insurance is usually reduced by up to 20% when having a monitored alarm.

Every city and county has it's own ordinance. Your local Police Department or County Sheriff may require you to register your alarm system. Give them a call or check their web site for the necessary forms. Some police departments charge an annual fee. You will be billed for too many false alarms, and there are significant fees for operating an alarm system without a permit. The age of your alarm system doesn't matter. Make sure to register your alarm system and avoid a hassle. You can also visit our web site for more information on permit requirements: http://absalarmco.com/alarm-permits.html
