Alarm systems in focus – Part 2: SECVEST wireless alarm system

According to the "Cologne Study", a survey by the Cologne Police Department, the biggest weak points are still ground-level patio and balcony doors and apartment doors. If patio doors are not additionally secured and apartment doors are not locked at night but simply closed, then it is easy for burglars to get into the house or apartment. Criminals do not shy away from balcony doors and windows that face the street. An insufficiently secured window can be forced open in a matter of seconds - no one notices it so quickly, especially not in the dark. But numerous burglaries are now also committed in broad daylight. In more than 77 percent of cases in 2011, according to the Cologne study, doors and windows were successfully forced open with a screwdriver. On average, only 15.5 percent of burglaries nationwide were solved.

Effectively secure your home against burglary

With such alarming figures, the question arises as to what is an effective way to protect against burglary. For patio and balcony doors, additional locks are suitable for burglary protection. These prevent the door from being forced open or at least make it so difficult that the criminal gives up for fear of being discovered. An effective additional measure to purely mechanical security locks are wireless alarm systems such as the SECVEST wireless alarm system from ABUS. Mechanical and electronic components work together intelligently to form a holistic wireless alarm system that effectively protects your home against burglary.

Easy-to-use alarm panel

The ABUS SECVEST wireless alarm system protects your apartment or house with innovative technology and is still intuitive to use. The SECVEST wireless alarm system has an alarm control panel that meets the latest standards in terms of both function and design. Whether it is a spacious single-family home or a single apartment - the wireless alarm system ensures all-round protection in every room. Changes in the system status are shown directly on the display of the alarm control panel or on the wireless remote control when they are requested. The SECVEST wireless alarm system can be operated from inside as well as outside.

Not only burglary protection – also water and smoke detectors

The system has numerous detectors that emit an alarm sound in an emergency: These include a motion detector, a glass break detector and an opening detector. The SECVEST system emits a loud alarm sound when there is an attempted break-in, which will prompt the burglar to flee. Depending on the system, smoke and water detectors are also part of SECVEST: the wireless alarm system not only reports attempted break-ins, but also fires or water damage. The SECVEST system can be combined with up to four wireless modules. Despite its complexity and variety of functions, the SECVEST system does not usually need to be serviced more than once a year.

Acoustic and visual alarms protect your home from dangers

ABUS SECVEST offers various alarm sets: With a wireless outdoor siren or a wireless indoor siren you can be on the safe side: The detectors register movement and send the message to the wireless alarm control panel. This emits a very loud alarm sound within seconds. This alone is usually enough to scare the burglar away, because the 105 decibels of this alarm correspond to the volume of a jackhammer. But the control panel also immediately notifies the house or apartment owner of the attempted break-in. This means you always have an eye on your own home. SECVEST also has an optical alarm: The detectors emit bright signals that make it easier for approaching emergency services to locate their location and thus enable help to arrive even faster.

Automatic help notification in seconds

It is not uncommon for burglary attempts to be made even when the residents are in the house. The ABUS SECVEST wireless alarm system also includes the wireless panic button and the wireless fire button. These can also be integrated into the system at a later date and can be placed discreetly in the bedroom or entrance area of ​​the house. Residents can use the small button to quickly and discreetly trigger an alarm. Small portable wireless emergency call transmitters can also be made part of the SECVEST wireless alarm system. You can individually set whether the system should notify friends, relatives or the emergency services directly.
