How To
How to test your home security system
How to test a Home Security System
The first step is to install your alarm monitoring software on your computer. You can download the most current version from manufacturer's website. The next thing you want to do is to set up your phone number so that when someone calls the monitoring center they get routed directly to your line. If you don't know how to do this, then you'll need to contact your local service provider to help you out. You are now ready to test your setup!
There are two main methods to test your system. The first way is to use a dummy device. It is a fake device that appears to be the real thing. It looks the same as the real thing but doesn't work. You can turn it on and it will sound exactly the same as the real thing. A dummy device comes with some limitations. It won't give you any information about your system's actual functionality. It might also look suspicious to others who observe it lying around. If it is stolen, it can pose a problem.
The second option is to test the system manually. You will need to go through your entire system and verify that everything is working 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. After you've tested everything thoroughly, you can feel confident that your system is working well.
