How much does a home alarm system cost?
It is not possible to give a clear answer to this question. However, you can indicate elements which have a significant impact on the final price of the home alarm . One of them is the type of system and the scope of the monitored area. Simple systems equipped with one or two sensors will be much cheaper than advanced systems equipped with additional elements, such as cameras.
The principle is simple - the more devices and functionalities a home alarm has, the higher its cost will be. Before purchasing a home alarm, it is important to carefully compare as many systems as possible and choose the one that is best suited to our needs and expectations. There is no point in overpaying for security alarm functions that we do not need.
A very important issue that must be taken into account is the quality of the burglar alarm and the manufacturer's reputation. It is known that alarm systems from the most well-known companies will be slightly more expensive, but at the same time we can be sure that the security alarms offered by them are of high quality and will serve us for a long time.
To sum up, the price of a home alarm varies greatly - the simplest systems cost around PLN 600, but the most advanced alarm systems cost up to several thousand zlotys.
How much electricity does a home alarm use?
It all depends on several factors, primarily on the number of components of the protective system. The level of power consumption of a home alarm depends mainly on how many sensors, cameras and other devices a given alarm system has. It is also important whether a given system uses energy-saving solutions, which directly translates into lower electricity consumption. It is also worth paying attention to keyboards, proximity card readers and devices used to communicate with the security alarm.
The vast majority of standard alarm systems use around 10-45 watts of electricity. The exact amount of electricity consumed may also depend on the operating mode and the previously mentioned factors.
When it comes to security alarm operating modes, we can distinguish active mode, disabled mode and standby mode. In standby mode, the amount of electricity consumed is relatively small, and when the alarm is turned off, for obvious reasons, the device does not consume any electricity at all. For example: if the average consumption of a security alarm is 25 watts and the price of 1 kWh is PLN 0.75, the annual cost will be approximately PLN 200.
