Residential Alarm Systems FAQ's:
We work with government agencies, corporations and individuals around the world, creating safer living and working environments. Here are some common questions about securing residences and offices overseas.

Q: I am ordering alarm equipment for use overseas: What do I have to know?
A: You should considering the following issues:
• Local Power: All AES products are 110/220V, 50/60 Hz compatible, and include ruggedized power supplies. AES systems are supplied with a US type plug; an adapter may be required.
• Local Power Conditions:
• Installation: Who will install your alarm system? You will want to order a system that matches the skills of the local talent. The AES 5100 is widely used in the U.S., and is considered "average" in terms of complexity for installers. In developing countries, it may be difficult to find an installer. For these regions, consider the AES 1700 and 1710 series alarms, which have fewer options, but are much easier to install. Both systems provide EXCELLENT security, and are proven in thousands of installations worldwide.
• Who will maintain your alarm system? Your alarm system should be checked every 6 months - every sensor, every battery, every accessory. If possible, write a contract that says the installer is responsible for maintenance and repairs for a period of years.
• Will your alarm system(s) be "local" (siren sounds only on premises) or centrally monitored? Who will do the monitoring? AES provides systems that can be monitored by a central station. The equipment can interface with existing monitoring companies, or we can provide a the monitoring system to create your own closed network.

Q: I need alarms that can be monitored by a central guard post or alarm company. Can AES systems be monitored?
A: The AES 5100 system has a built-in telephone dialer that reports alarm data to a special data receiver. Most alarm monitoring companies have compatible receivers. If you are doing your own monitoring, AES offers alarm monitoring systems for either radio and telephone monitoring. See the section on AES-IntelliNet, or contact us for more information.
