Typical Burglary Alarm.
The typical Environmental Alarm consists of the
following devices. Additional devices can be found under the other sections
depending on what your secure environment consists of.
Components of a Environmental Alarm
System
 | Control Communicator - This device is
where the intelligence resides regarding system operation.
All sensors and annunciation devices are connected
through wires or wireless transmitters to the control/communicator.
Once the system is programmed the
control/communicator receives signals from the sensors (Smoke Detectors, Heat
Detectors, Co2 Detectors, ...) and actives output devices (Sirens,
Strobes, Communicates to Monitoring) as programming directs it to.

Keypad- The keypad can be viewed as the user interface just like key for your car.
It
enables you to view the status of the sensors. It enables you to silence the
alarm.
It allows
you to test the system for proper operation.
It also
allows you to reset the system after an event.

a burglar to gain entry or move large amounts of assets through the
window. They actually listen for the sound of breaking glass and the
vibration that is present during glass breakage.

challenging environments. Including passive infrared, microwave, and
ultrasonic. The most versatile motion detector available is the

violation of the security environment at the property. There will
typically be sounders installed inside the protected area and outside the
protected area to notify neighbors of the event. Neighbors should not
approach the property but observe any vehicles or people coming or going
from the property. |
