Components Of Alarm System EquipmentThe Keypad - Control Central With most home alarm systems, the equipment that the homeowner uses the most is the keypad. The keypad controls should be easy to understand and easy to operate. If they are complicated or difficult to understand, most homeowners will just ignore the keypad and not even use the expensive equipment and alarm system. Security Code The keypad function that homeowners use most frequently is entering the numeric code that turns the system off and on. The keypad notifies the homeowner that the system is on and armed, providing peace of mind for all residents of the household. The best keypads also include three emergency buttons for police, fire, or medical insurance. Door And Window Sensors Install alarm system equipment to your doors and windows. If a breach occurs while the system is on, you will be alerted. Motion Detectors Motion detectors are smart alarm system equipment items, triggered by body heat and/or movement within a certain zone of protection. Siren An interior siren is your first line of defense. Many intruders will flee when they hear the ear-piercing siren that will alert your neighbors and everybody in the house that an intruder has breached the sanctity of your home. Yard Signs And Decals One of the biggest theft deterrents is the use of yard signs and decals. If a thief sees two houses in a neighborhood, both well tended and comparable in size, but the house on the left has a security system yard sign and decals on the windows, and the house on the right has only door locks without a security system, which house do you think the thief will try to break into? Smoke, Heat, And Carbon Monoxide Detector Thieves aren't the only threat to your family's well being. The best alarm system equipment will alert you when you have smoke, excessive heat, or carbon monoxide in your home environment. Broken Glass Detector The glass break detector listens for the sound of breaking glass but never confuses breaking glass with similar sounds, like thunderstorms, loud cars, and telephones ringing. Moisture Sensor With a moisture sensor in your attic and basement, you will be instantly notified if water leaks pose a threat to your home. Use a moisture sensor in conjunction with other alarm system equipment to keep your home safe, dry, and secure. |
