Bm Alarms

If you’re leaving your home for the winter or want to keep it secure during the colder months, it’s important to make sure your alarm system is working properly. Test the alarm before you go to confirm it arms, disarms, and triggers correctly, and check that all sensors on doors and windows respond as expected. Replace any low batteries in sensors or keypads so the system doesn’t fail while you’re away. If your alarm is monitored, let your security company know you’ll be gone so they can update emergency contacts if needed. Keep the control panel powered and avoid unplugging it, since power interruptions can disable protection. Make sure exterior lights and cameras, if you have them, are working and pointed correctly. Finally, avoid announcing your absence publicly and ask a trusted neighbor or friend to check on the house occasionally to ensure everything stays secure.
