Consumer Information
An alarm system can bring you a sense of security and peace of mind and is effective with proper installation, adequate training and regular maintenance.
Poorly used, installed or maintained systems can cause significant problems for the consumer and public safety officials alike. Therefore, it is important for consumers to do their homework before buying and installing an alarm system.
FARA has developed a set of guides and bulletins for consumers. Please review the information contained within the guides to help you make an informed decision on an alarm system purchase or use the information to help prevent false alarms.

FARA has worked with the North Texas Alarm Association and other industry groups to produce two videos on proper alarm system use.
The first version is generic and can be used anywhere.
The second contains the generic information and also includes information on recent Texas laws that impact alarm users.
