How To
How to test your home security system
How to test an Home Security System
First, install alarm monitoring software. Download the most recent version from the manufacturer's site. Next, set up your phone number to allow monitoring centers to route calls directly to your number. If you don’t know how to do that, you can ask your local service provider. You are now ready to test your setup!
There are two main methods to test your system. You can test your system by using a dummy device. This is a fake device, which appears just like the real thing. It doesn't function as well as the real device. The sound it makes when it turns on is identical to the real thing, if it was functioning properly. But, using a dummy device has its limitations. First, it won't tell you anything about the actual functionality of your system. If it is left around, it may look suspicious. Third, it might be stolen and cause trouble.
The second method is to test your system manually. This involves going through the entire system one-by-one to make sure it is functioning properly. Check to make sure that motion sensors, cameras, door locks, and other devices are working correctly. All of these should be tested at least once per week. Once everything has been thoroughly tested, you can feel confident your system is functioning well.
