Are There Problems with Motion Security?
Generally speaking, motion security systems work very well. The biggest problem they all (every manufacturer) experience is that of errant alarms – alarm events that are (in reality) not breaches of security – rather simply device failures and/or controller malfunctions that produce an erroneous alarm. As a result of numerous errant alarms many law enforcement departments in metro areas have quit responding to 3rd party alarm calls.
The second largest issue with traditional motion security systems many business people are concerned about is the high contractual cost (a reoccurring monthly expense) charged by the initial installer or the 3rd party monitoring company. While many home-based system providers will install the equipment for free (if the customer commits to a long-term contract) most the initial cost of hardware and system installation (on a commercial or industrial application) may be $1000-$5000 (depending upon the complexity of the system) but with monitoring service fees of $50-200 per month, it’s not out of the norm for a business to expense $2500 annually for their security protection. Expanding this expense out 10 years – the average life of a security system – many business owners are concerned about a $25,000 loss prevention expense.
Finally, a Video Security System, in addition to making an automated phone call during an intrusion also creates a video record of the event. With a motion-only alarm system, unless the police “just happen to be in your neighborhood” when the call comes in, in most cases the intruder is gone before they arrive.
RESULT: You know immediately that you’ve been broken into but because a motion-only alarm system does not create a video record of the event, you have no means by which to identify and/or prosecute the criminal.
