The door lock has long been no obstacle to intruders. Today, in a trend, the installation of security alarms in a normal city apartment, and in a country house.
The principle of the alarm system of an apartment
Any security alarm system in the apartment consists of three modules:
- Sensors that determine the fact of penetration into the apartment. They can track the opening of doors or windows, movement in an empty apartment, breaking windows, etc. Receiving such a signal, the sensor transmits it to the receiving-control device;
- the receiving and monitoring device monitors the sensors and, upon receiving the signal, converts them and transmits them to the actuators;
- executive devices receive such a signal when activated: they include a siren and a siren, dial the phone of the owner of the apartment or a security organization. The alarm signal from the security alarm set in the apartment can be transmitted by city or mobile communication, GSM, radio channel or Internet.
You can also put an apartment on the alarm system in various ways: using a remote key, a Touch Memory type key, or a panel for inserting a pin code.
Types of security alarm systems
There are several types of burglar alarms:
- The console is the most expensive, but also the most reliable option. It involves not only the installation of an alarm system, but also the signing of an agreement with a security service or law enforcement agencies. When you try to enter the apartment, a phone call is automatically sent to the security panel, and the outfit is sent to detain the criminals.
- The automatic alarm system differs from the previous one in that a telephone message about an attempted hacking comes to your own number, without the participation of security.
- Stand-alone alarm system does not depend on the phone, however it is considered not the most reliable one. When thieves enter the apartment, the device beeps, the volume of which reaches 120 DTS. He can scare off intruders, but not everyone is afraid of a loud sound. You can simply break the alarm base, and the apartment will be without protection. The main advantage of this type of security alarm system is the absence of a monthly fee for security agency services.
- There is also a security and fire alarm system that provides protection not only from burglary and robbery, but also from fires, floods, etc.
