Beat the burglars
Article Abstract:
Burglar alarm salespeople vary in their knowledge and understanding but those on police force lists can be recommended for attending to specific security needs. Some insurance companies give discounts to policyholders who have burglar alarms installed by members of the National Approval Council for Security Systems (NACOSS). Maintenance contracts vary and are often poor value. Systems which are monitored by the police or fire service always have a combined monitoring and maintenance contract.
