| The PRIDE
alarm consists of three main parts:
- An alarm box with a siren and
strobe light which is fixed on the outside of
the house.
- A control panel which plugs
into any domestic 13 amp socket.
- A small panic button
which may be carried on the person.
The PRIDE
alarm is a device which consists of an alarm box
and strobe light which is fitted to the exterior
of the house. This is wired to a small simple control
panel inside the house. The householder then carries
with them a small radio key fob which is used to
activate the alarm system whenever there is a perceived
threat or problem and assistance is required immediately.
The nearby neighbours are notified
of an installation by preprinted cards posted through
letter boxes to encourage a response to the alarm,
either by reacting themselves if they are able or
by dialing 999 for the Police.
The system is not designed to
protect the property when left unattended but to
summon help quickly when required. However there
is no doubt that the visual effect of an alarm box
on the outside of the house has some deterrent effect.
