Question:

Does a House Alarm System really protect?

I am wondering if anyone has really been protected by a house security System. I mean, there was an intruder, a fire, or something else that happened and the Alarm helped. Any personal stories and other sources are appreciated

Answer:

Most For DIY, there are youtube videos that show you how
I live in a condo downtown. January 05,2016 My detectors going off out of control for no reason. Three (3) resets. Three (3) alarm fire January 04,2016 just done the road yesterday and the fresh air make up was bringing in the smoke smells into my unit in the am. Another Fire at intersection 1 block away on June 16,2015. Fresh air system also brought fire smells into entire building at this time. The corridor grille is right across from my suite door and large gap under the door. Is there smoke residue in my detectors to set them off? Do I have to replace or will vacuuming do the trick? How do know which detector is faulty? There are three (3) detectors at 10ft ceiling.
