How They Work

Door sensor + code pairing: your PIN disarms only your door; forced/wrong-code entry alerts staff/you. Ask: monitoring hours, alert latency, false-alarm fee, battery backup in outages.

Worth It?

Yes for tools/inventory/long absence; overkill for $300 dorm boxes with good gate+cameras. See alarmed sites.

FAQs

Do alarms lower insurance?

Sometimes 5–10% with proof — ask your insurer.
