How to test a security system at home
How to test your Home Security System
The first step is to install your alarm monitoring software on your computer. The latest version should be downloaded from the manufacturer's web site. Next, set up your phone number to allow monitoring centers to route calls directly to your number. If you don't know what to do, contact your local provider for help. Now it's time for you to start testing.
Two main methods can be used 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. The fake device has many of the same features as the original, but it does not actually work. It sounds exactly like the real thing if it were working properly when it is turned on. There are downsides to using a dummy gadget. First, it won’t give you any insight into the 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 is where you examine every part of your system to ensure that it functions properly. You might check that your motion sensors work properly, that your cameras record, and that the doors lock correctly. 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.
