Home alarm systems in the past have been called everything from primitive to unreliable, and while many of their modern-day counterparts are technologically more advanced, they are also susceptible to irritating false alarms and pet “burglar” headaches. Luckily, today’s discerning consumer has a better range of options when it comes to protecting their families, homes, and valuables. The recent marriage of the two types of motion-detecting technologies (infrared light and microwave) into one dual-action sensor has improved the science of home security devices by leaps and bounds.

Homeowners in the past have also complained about false alarms being set off by pets; now, pet owners can choose to install a pet-sensitive motion detector. These detectors are equipped to not go off when an object under a certain physical dimension goes by, therefore, Fluffy can make her nightly bathroom run without waking up the whole neighborhood while she’s at it.

Home alarm systems in years past have been clunky, easily outwitted things. Burglars were not afraid of them, as they were easily disabled or avoided. Today, though, burglars stop and think again before approaching a security-protected house. Today’s designs enable the swift response of homeowners and police; a risk not many burglars are willing to take.
