Burglar Alarms
Pope Security Systems takes pride in providing home and business security you can trust. From installation to monitoring, we will work with you to design a system that is sophisticated, yet simple-to-use. To assure long-term reliable performance, we work with only the best components from leaders in the security industry.

Our Burglar Alarms (residential and commercial) can detect unauthorized entry and act as a deterrent to break-ins. Burglar alarms can be integrated with fire detection systems, access control systems and/or Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and they typically include sensing devices, control panels and arming stations or keypads.

Control Panel and Keypads
The control panel is the brain center of the system and is usually controlled by keypads located at entry doors and in other convenient locations.   The keypads allow you to arm and disarm the system. Many systems are set up with a keypad near the main entrance, and one in a more secure location, like the master bedroom. This makes it easy to arm the system when you go to bed. Sensors are strategically located to detect different kinds of activity; when activated, they send signals to the control panel. Several types of sensors are available including:

Sirens and lights
Many security systems include audible and visible indicators of trouble. Sirens, horns, or bells should be loud enough to be heard throughout the house and at the street – larger homes may need more than one. For most amateur crooks, a loud alarm means "time to run" and will get them out of your home in a panic. Flashing lights – strobes or rotating beacons – are more commonly used in businesses, but can also help police confirm where the trouble is in an emergency .

Panic Alarm
A panic alarm is a button – either hard-wired or wireless – that, when activated by the individual client registers a silent alarm and notifies the Central Monitoring Station of a panic situation. This means that the client can convey a distress signal to us without generating an audible alarm at the covered premise.

How Your Security System Works...
Pope Security Systems uses a combination of door and window sensors, glass breakage sensors, and interior motion sensors and video to detect unauthorized entry. The keypad control is one interface for the various sensors connected to the control panel.  When a low level of security is desired, the “Chime” feature can be used to produce a pleasant ding-dong sound through each keypad control when an exterior door or window is opened. Many small businesses use this feature to alert employees of walk in customers.

When a higher level of security is needed, the system can be “Armed” so a loud siren will sound if a sensor is activated. Sensors on doors that are used for entry and exit have a delay time allowing you to leave and re-enter while the system is “Armed.”

For maximum perimeter protection during occupancy, these delays can be omitted with the press of a button, and interior motion sensors can be bypassed to allow freedom of movement inside the home or business. With a built-in digital communicator, alarms can be immediately reported to a “Central Monitoring Station” which is staffed 24 hours a day, ready to report a burglary, fire, panic or environmental condition to the authorities and in the proper order.

Backup battery
Regardless of how sophisticated your alarm system is, it can't work without power. All Pope Security Systems alarms include back up battery protection. These batteries automatically provide power to your burglar alarm if the power goes out.

Security Devices
Your home or commercial security system will include many different pieces of hardware. A representative from Pope Security Systems will assess your property and customize a system that meets your needs.   Here are some of the most common components:

Control Panel and Keypads
The control panel is the brain center of the system and is usually controlled by keypads located at entry doors and in other convenient locations.  The keypads allow you to arm and disarm the system. Many systems are set up with a keypad near the main entrance, and one in a more secure location, like the master bedroom. This makes it easy to arm the system when you go to bed or exit a building.
