Standard Lease Plans

Fair Market Value – This plan offers the most options both during and at the end of the lease term for those worried about obsolescence or wanting a small security deposit and a relatively low monthly payment. At the end of the lease term, you have three options: extend the term of the lease, return the equipment, or buy it at its fair market value. Marlin also offers financing for those wishing to buy the equipment at the end of the lease term. A True Lease allows the most cost to be deferred to the end of the lease when a decision to retain or upgrade the equipment can be made.

10% Security Deposit – Because this program offers the lowest monthly payment, it is especially attractive to those who can afford to pay a 10% security deposit of the lease amount at the beginning of the lease. End-of-lease options still apply. Use the deposit to extend the lease or return the equipment and request the refunded deposit.

10% Purchase Option – This plan offers the customer a fixed purchase option at the end of the lease term. Upon final payment, the customer can continue to lease the equipment, return the equipment, or buy it at 10% of the original equipment cost.

$1.00 Buy Out – For those who are fairly certain they wish to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term, this is the recommended plan. Once the lease term expires, the equipment is simply purchased for $1.00.

Mount it in the correct location

The key to getting your security system to do what you want it to do is to be sure that you mount the system in the right place. This includes avoiding placing the receiver or the receiver aerial near to electrical equipment such as televisions or computer equipment as these can generate background noise. You also want to try to avoid placing it too close to a boiler system or something that is very hot.

Make sure it’s in the correct orientation

You want to be certain you aren’t tempted to cut or alter the length of the aerial cable until you have checked the signal strength. Aerials are designed to a tuned frequency and tampering with the size of the aerial will affect the frequency and performance of the system. You want to take a look at the direction the cable is running and keep it running that way.

Consider the wall thickness in your property

It is very important that before you install your device, you should make an assessment of the thickness of your property’s walls. Sometimes in properties with very thick walls, you can struggle to get the right amount of signal strength. If the receiver or the receiver aerial can be mounted high up in an attic space for example so the signal path is through the floor boards this can make strength it.

Carry out a signal strength test in various locations

You will want to be certain before you mount your wireless security system to do a spot check of the signal strength and the background noise in your planned locations. If you find that a signal strength measurement is not available do a few tests to ensure that the alarm signals are received at the control panel.

This is a very important step because you want to be sure your security system signal is strong enough.

You want to be certain you have a security system to protect you from any type of theft as this can really be a great way to help protect you against someone breaking in your house.
