How To
How to test a home alarm system
How to test your Home Security System
The first thing you need to do is install your alarm-monitoring software on your PC. 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. You can contact your local service provider for assistance if you are unsure how to do it. Now it's time for you to start testing.
There are two main methods to test your system. The first way is to use a dummy device. This is a fake device, which appears just like the real thing. Although it has all the same features of the real thing, it doesn't actually function. The sound it makes when it turns on is identical to the real thing, if it was functioning properly. A dummy device comes with some limitations. First, it won't tell you anything about the actual functionality of your system. Second, it might look suspicious to people who see it sitting around. Finally, it could cause problems if it gets stolen.
You can also test your system manually. This involves going through the entire system one-by-one to make sure it is functioning properly. You would check, for example, whether the motion sensors are working, the cameras are recording properly, and if the door locks work. You should test each of these items at least once a week. You can feel confident in your system's operation once you have thoroughly tested it.
