ALARM SYSTEMS
Alarm Systems
are systems designed to detect unauthorized entry like that of burglary,
property damage, intruders as well as personal protection – into a building or
area. Intruders need only a weak spot in security for
striking. Security Alarms is to ensure that your system is user-friendly,
simple, trouble free and effective at protecting your business, employees,
visitors, information and assets.
A single loop hole is all that is needed. So
installing the right alarm system is of utmost importance.
Alarm
Systems can be of many types according to the purpose of use. Some systems
satisfying more than one purpose like that of combination systems provide fire
and intrusion protection. Alarm systems can also be combined with the CCTV
Surveillance systems, Access Control Systems and the Home Automation System for
more security. Most people interact with alarms
on a daily basis and it is important to depend upon systems that are both
reliable and well suited to specific needs.
Before installing the alarm system
the site should be assessed completely and the areas that are considered to be
of risk for intrusion should then be built with alarm and security systems
around them.
Components of an Alarm System
Alarm systems are made up of several
components which include –
·
Control panel – It is the central control unit of the system. It receives
transmissions from sensors and communicates data to the central monitoring
station. The battery is located inside the control panel, which backs up the
system if your power is shut down.
·
Key fobs – It is a device used to remotely arm
and disarm the system. Keypads are units that can be installed throughout your home
to provide easy-to-use access to your panel. By typing in your personal code
and the correct buttons, you can arm and disarm your security system quickly.
·
Motion detectors – Detect movement
in targeted areas. Motion detectors are devices inside the home which trigger an
alarm when something moves into its path.
·
Smoke detectors –
Smoke detectors detect
smoke in case of fire and in turn, dispatch the fire
department to your home.
·
Glass break detectors - Also known as audio
detectors, glass break detectors are normally installed in rooms with many
fixed windows, if the window is broken, the shattering glass sound will set
off the alarm.
·
Panic buttons – Used to request
immediate help in case of an emergency.
·
Touch pads – Used for diagnostic operations,
as well as to activate and deactivate alarms
·
Sirens – Used to create loud acoustic
sounds to alert.
·
Video monitoring (CCTV cameras) – Used to
create a video link with the monitoring team
·
Window and door sensors – Used to
sense movements and break ins via windows and doors
Wired and Wireless Alarm Systems
Wireless Systems use individual
sensors which are installed throughout the home and communicate wirelessly to
the central control panel using radio frequency technology.
Hard wired Alarm
Systems connect the sensors to the central control panel using a network of
wires which are hidden within the wall and floors.
Wireless Systems and
hard wired Systems both have their pros and cons. Wireless systems are easy to
install. It may take hardly six to seven hours for their installation. Whereas
hardwired systems may take two days for their installation. The maintenance costs
of wireless systems are more compared to that of hardwired systems as a change
of battery every 3 years is necessary for wireless system. Hard wired systems
do not run on batteries so there is no battery replacement costs there. If you
ever think of expanding your apartment or business area all you need to do is
add extra sensors to expand your systems coverage area in case of Wireless
Systems. But adding an additional sensor to the Wired System is a lot more
difficult.
Wireless Systems are
suitable for smaller and large scale houses or apartments and also for small or
medium scale commercial projects. Hard Wired Systems are suitable for large
scale commercial buildings, factories and offices.
Alarm system will
lessen or definitely decrease our chances of intruders and thieves from getting
into our houses which is why it is of utmost importance.
