I saw on tv one day , that you should not display your home security stickers. This would enable the theft / robber to familiarize /master your alarm system

They might be able to get some default codes. and overide your house alarm…

What do you think?
Do you display your house alarm stickers?

Thanks!

Could a home security system interfere with my home theater system?

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
Mike B asked:


I recently installed a wireless home security systems (ADT), and now I am noticing a clicking emanating from my home theater system. I am wondering if it is caused by the new security, and if so, how can I fix it?

A bit of detail on the clicking: it is similar to, but not the same as, the phone interference caused by certain (GSM) phones.

I have the DSC Power 832 Home Security System and it’s saying that battery power is low. The battery inside the control box doesn’t seem to remove easily. How do I change the battery?

How do I set the code on my home security system?

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009
Peter B asked:


I purchased a home that has a security system installed. It has motion sensors in some rooms, and door sensors on every exterior door. I know it is functional as I see it respond to the various sensors, but do not know the code to arm it. The previous owner’s disconnected the service to the company that calls the police and forgot the code. I just want to use it as a passive system that sounds the alarm when breached, but cannot arm it without the code. Any guesses on how i can set it? The manufacturer of the alarm is no longer in business, but is Apollo Security.
