One Fire Can Change Everything

When Seconds Count

To sleep soundly, you need peace of mind. You need to know that what you value most; your home, family or even your business are safe, secured and well protected. According to statistics, homes without alarm systems are three times as likely to be broken into as those that do. The facts are in-security systems are effective in preventing loss of life and protecting property. Like millions of others, you’ve realized that your peace of mind is what matters the most, and are considering purchasing a home security system.

 

An effective system will also utilize the latest technologies in Fire Detection to make sure that your family is safe. This includes the expertise to know what type of smoke detector will work best for you. A lot of people don't know it but there are actually two main types of detectors: Ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms. An ionization smoke alarm uses a small amount of radioactive material to ionize air in the sensing chamber. As a result, the air chamber becomes conductive permitting current to flow between two charged electrodes. When products of combustion enter the chamber, the conductivity of the chamber air decreases. When this reduction in conductivity is reduced to a predetermined level, the alarm is set off. Most smoke alarms in use are of this type.

A photoelectric type smoke alarm consists of a light emitting diode and a light sensitive sensor in the sensing chamber. The presence of suspended products of combustion in the chamber scatters the light beam. This scattered light is detected and sets off the alarm.

 

Neither system is the absolute best choice in-and-of-itself. It comes down to knowing exactly where each should be according to their specific strengths and Guardian Security Systems has the expertise and professional knowledge that people have come to depend on. We not only offer the best in home security, but we also offer the best in home fire alarm systems.

 

A home fire alarm system is usually part of a total security system providing burglary protection in addition to fire protection. Such a system supervises doors, windows, and spaces within the home for break-in and may provide monitoring services by dialing your telephone to report a fire or intrusion to a security office, where it will be reported to your local police or fire department.

 

When your alarm is activated and then triggered by an event like a burglary or fire, Guardian immediately goes into action:

 

• Your home security monitoring system instantly sends a signal to the Central Monitoring Station, prompting our highly trained agents to react by contacting you via two-way voice or by phone.

• The Monitoring Station Operator will ask you to provide your password. In case you accidentally set off your system, Guardian will clear the alarm from any emergency dispatch.

• If Guardian is unable to contact you; if the monitoring station receives the wrong password; if your specified contact telephone line is busy; or if we have reason to suspect trouble at your home, we’ll dispatch the proper authorities to directly assess the situation.
