Attempted Break In

The other day I had an attempted break in at my house in the middle of the afternoon while I was at work. What scared who ever off was my dog. I have a feeling they were targeting my firearms which are under lock and key. I have nothing worth steeling other than guns and hunting gear. I have to wonder if this is someone close to me shooting there mouth off or possibly neibours watching me come and go on weekends during hunting season and other times just plane target shooting at my dads farm. It sucks living in town because it feels like I have eyes watching me when I come and go with my guns. I'm getting a security alarm installed this upcoming week which will help me sleep easier at night. Just wondering what you guys do to protect your homes and guns from invasion??

Store your firearms in a GOOD gun safe & you have no worries...I speak from experience....house broken into...over 15K worth of stuff stolen but gun safes left untouched!

New alarm systems use wireless signals - no wires to rip out. Consider looking at the total home monitoring systems if you're worried and interested in an alarm.

Wireless power?!? That's impressive.

Seriously though. There has to be a power source and that's what they ripped out in my system. If you cut the power source before it goes off no signal goes out. Wireless won't help. Now, if you have some sort of system that sends an alert every time power is interrupted that might work. I would think that type of system would go off a lot though. Any time you had a black out or a brown out, or decided to work on your electrical panel you'd send an alert.

They work as cell phones do - you can get a battery backup for the alarm. Using wireless signals allow the system to function even if the phone lines are cut as well (usually the first thing cut).

What u smoking?gotta get to the unit in the basement to "turn it off" cant just kill the power. ....
I used to install alarm systems for my job. . Now work on fire alarms. .
All burger alarm systems are 12v.. and have a12v back up battery INSIDE the main unit. The unit is usually installed at the breaker panel. (Keypads are not the "brains")
If power is killed to the house/building IMMEDIATLY the back up battery powers the unit. (Keypad will chirp to say no action power) but that is all. . The battery is designed to power the system for a minimum of 24hrs. (Including the cellular part)

You already are better off with a barking dog than an alarm system. Also a Beware of dog or a Guard dog on duty sign in your front door or window is the very best deterent. When theives see those signs they steer clear of those places. Others will say you could be charged if you have those signs and someone gets bit, BS, and those signs keep people away period. I have gone through the exact same thing a few years ago middle of day time, my neighbors even took pics of the guy and his parked vehical with licience plate visable. My German Shephard barking made him leave, but I never had a sign in the front of the house, now I do and people stay away even the door to door idiots trying to sell crap. The police wouldnt even charge the guy because he never actually entered. To bad I wasnt home because he would have had a very bad day.......

How did they get to your power source without tripping the alarm? Did they know exactly where in the house your service panel was located? How did they know or,more importantly,who knew which way was the quickest to disable your system? On my system,there's only one door on a seven second time delay. Everything else is alarmed instantly which,once tripped,has two battery back up systems-one for the main alarm,the other for the cell send/receive unit. The crooks can cut all the phone lines and even the Hydro,they're still being tracked as they move through the house. The alarm company can tell the Police exactly where they are in the house or if they've left the premises to look around the neighborhood,but, I have to tell you that if they break in at night and start coming into the bedroom,they ain't leavin'....ever.
