Wireless window alarms

TIP
If the unit comes with a warning sticker, display it in a prominent way.
Most small time burglars will move on to the next house as they do not know what kind of alarm you have installed. If the unit does not come with a warning sticker, buy one for each wireless window alarm you have installed.
I once read that many would-be intruders will heed security warning stickers and move on. After all there are many other homes on the street, so why take a chance.

Wireless window alarms

This is one of the most economical door security devices available for residential use. A wireless window alarm will scare away any would be burglar. As soon as the window is opened a piercing alarm is sounded. The wireless window alarm will only shut off when the window is closed again. Depending on the brand name, the sound is anywhere from 90 to 120 decibels. Most wireless window alarms have a low battery test button and light as well as an on/off switch which is handy so it can be de-activated if you want to open the windows for airing out the house. Just remember to turn the alarm on again after you close the window. Wireless window alarms require two to three batteries to operate.
Installation
No tools are required! The wireless window alarm is easy to install with peel off double sided adhesive tape. It is important to align the two arrows, or any other type of marking, on the alarm. Also the two parts should be no more than 1/2" (12 mm) apart. Installation requirements may differ from product to product so, make sure to read the installation instruction that come with the wireless window alarm. If they are printed on the back of the packaging, remove the alarm carefully so you don't damage the instructions.
