Door Alarms

Has your child ever opened the door and walked out without you knowing? Door alarms exist to prevent such risks.

Boasting a 90 dB sound (as most brands set their alarm volumes to) as its warning tone, you’d know what your child is up to before he/she could even get out of the house.

Magnetic door alarms emit loud continuous noise until the door is closed once again. If your child tries to get out, the loud beep would let you know what’s going on. Naturally, door alarms just don’t pose as “door nannies” for children. Unwanted (if not, unexpected) intruders would be found out before they could even get within you home premises.

Home security systems have now become important to homes and businesses, and investing in a door alarm could save you from being a robbery victim.

As part of a home security system (which is composed of various security monitoring devices), there are a lot of things that may occur upon the triggering of an alarm. Typically, the system would emit a siren. This would alert home owners, as well as neighbors, that someone has broken into their home, as well as drive the intruder away. Some types have the hardware capabilities to send the detection information to the authorities, eliciting fast necessary action.

Most door monitors depend on magnets for their successful operation. How they work is pretty simple. Two magnets (mounted/connected to an operations circuit board) are positioned between the door and doorway. Once a distance between two magnets is detected, the alarm would then “know” someone has opened the door.

These days, the industry standard for magnetic door monitors is that they come wireless. No more hassle in installing these devices.

Of course, children and burglars are not the only subjects a door monitor could “cater to.”

Alzheimer Adults

The presence of a door alarm can help you keep precious Alzheimer adults in safety. If they open the door when you are unable to watch over them, door’s alarm would give you warning.

Pool Safety

A door alarm positioned over the door leading to you pool will alert you if a child (or adult) opens the door.

Sleep Walkers

With door alarms installed, one doesn’t have to worry about sleepwalkers wandering away in the middle of the night. An alarm could be heard when the bedroom (for example) door is opened. Even the sleepwalker could actually be awakened, and made aware of his actions.

Special Needs Children

Wandering special children would be easy to monitor with an installed door alarm. In certain cases, an activated door alarm could stand as a deterrent against their going outside the door.

Straying Pets

Pets large enough to open doors could also be monitored with door alarms. Let’s say there are certain areas in your home where you don’t want your Golden Retriever to go to. With an installed door alarm, this unwanted entry could be detected, and necessary action could be taken.

With these subjects and situations to consider, door alarms could be easily configured to suit one particular need. They could be turned on or off, naturally. There may be occasions, such as house parties, where doors open and close to guests and homeowners alike. Alarm types could be set (for example; instead of the continuous siren, a pleasant sounding chime could be set instead of a “shocking” alarm) to suit more proper needs for various situations.

As the demand of home security has risen to the challenges of these times, door alarms are quite effective anti-burglar alarms. Their loose functionality proves them to be more than just home security devices too, giving homeowners more than just a security device.
