A detailed guide to install home alarm system compatible with your WiFi security cameras & sensors. Set up your Home Alarm System efficiently to monitor your home
E N D
In the past, it would have been unthinkable to install your own home alarm system. The process would have required a professional technician on hand to get things up and running. However, many modern-day smart home alarm systems have taken the complexity out of installation. As such, doing it yourself can be a quick and easy job. The following article takes you through that process in 6 simple steps.
Step 1: Choose Your Smart Home Alarm System Before deciding which system to invest in, it’s important to define exactly what you want it to do. Options range from simple setups that include motion detectors, sensors and a hub to complete systems that incorporate CCTV, lighting, locks, water and smoke sensors, and sirens. If you’re planning to opt for one of the more complex systems, you’ll likely need some outside help with installation.
Step 2: Connect Your Smart Home Alarm System There are three basic points your system needs to be connected to: 1. The power supply 2. The internet 3. Your smart-phone/device You simply choose where you want to place the hub and then plug it into the nearest socket. The hub is the piece of equipment that communicates with the other elements in your smart home alarm system. The hub will have a backup battery that kicks in should a power outage occur.
Step 3: Position The Sensors Once you’ve found the perfect spot for your hub, you need to position the sensors. There are two main types of sensor: 1. Motion detector sensors2. Door and window sensors A motion detector sensor picks up movement in your home, usually placed in the upper corner of a room to catch unusual or unexpected movement in a specific space. Door and window sensors detect when a door or window is opened and can also be placed on cupboards. Both types of sensors trigger an alarm when activated.
Step 4: Download The App Step 5: Connect To The Internet And Pair Your Devices Smart home alarm systems come with an app that can be downloaded onto your smart-phone or other smart device. You will need to register your system on the app so you can set up your home on the app by entering your location and the rooms in your house.
Step 6: Test Your Smart Home Alarm System The app allows you to control the system no matter where you are. There are various modes to choose from, which include: Armed This is the mode you’ll want to use when you go out. All sensors are on active alert and will trigger an alarm if activity is detected. Disarmed When you arrive home you’ll probably want to switch your smart home alarm system to the disarmed mode. All sensors will then be deactivated and you can walk around your house without triggering an alarm.
At Home Mode This mode allows you to manage different parts of your house separately. Sensors in the At Home zone are deactivated while those outside it are not. SOS This mode is for emergencies and allows you to trigger an alarm at the touch of a button no matter which mode is activated on your smart home alarm system at the time. Play around with the app and test out various settings so that you know what to expect and how to turn various modes on and off when needed. Once you’re familiar with the system, you’re ready to go!
