Intruder Alarm Registration
If you have an intruder or burglar alarm, it can be set off
accidentally. If this happens when you are out, you risk annoying
your neighbours and paying the price if it has to be silenced by
noise control officers. A survey carried out for Noise Action Day
in 2000 found that burglar alarms are the most annoying neighbour
noise!
By following these simple steps alarm owners can avoid annoying
their neighbourhood and incurring unnecessary costs.
The following should ensure an alarm only goes off when it
should:
- Ensure your alarm is installed by a qualified engineer
- Look after your alarm – make sure it is maintained
- Make sure your alarm has a cut out (20 minutes) to stop it
ringing for long periods
Even if you follow the above, your alarm could still be triggered
by a fault or accidentally by a pet. It is therefore important to
register keyholders (preferably two as then we have more chance of
contacting someone in the event of a problem) who can be contacted
to switch off the alarm if you are away and remember to let us know
if you or your keyholders move.
