Home alarm systems
In industry terms, the system is called SSWiN. It is an acronym for the words: Burglary and Assault Signaling System. It contains the basic and necessary devices for detecting and signaling unauthorized entry or burglary attempts. The alarm system should react and detect
- opening closures (doors, windows and others)
- an attempt to break down doors, windows
- movement and attack in protected areas
A basic home alarm system consists of signals, sensorsand detectorsand control panel emergency. The activation of the alarm is caused by the detection of changes in the parameters processed by the sensor. Infrared sensors react to changes in thermal radiation, and dual sensors have an additional microwave scanner.
In this type of installation, the devices are usually connected to each other by means of a cable.
An alarm system made in wireless technology is a more expensive solution compared to a wired system. It is used when the construction of a wired system is difficult and unprofitable. Undoubtedly, the installation of such an installation is much simpler, however, the communication of devices is easy to disrupt.
The basic elements of the alarm system are: detectors and detectors, a siren and an alarm control panel. Panic buttons are becoming more and more common, which enable the activation of the alarm at the time of danger. In addition, alarm systems can be equipped with devices that transmit information about the current state of the system via the cellular network, the Internet.
Alarm control panel is responsible for processing information coming from detectors, buttons, detectors. More advanced control panel models have additional functions:
- Can be programmed via phone or computer
- Notification of alarm activation to a selected telephone number stored in the control panel memory
- Event memory, which records all states of the control panel, detectors, etc.
It is worth equipping the alarm system with an additional battery that will ensure continuous operation of the installation in the event of a power failure
