Security and fire alarms
A security alarm is a preventive measure against theft or unauthorised entry into grounds of premises. A security alarm helps to identify what action activated the security system.
There are a number of technologies that are used to protect premises or perimeters, such as special sensors that are installed by windows and doors. When the alarm is activated, windows and doors can no longer be opened; if they are, it will trigger and report the potential intrusion to the contact person (by SMS, phone, etc.) and activate the siren, or, if the security alarm control panel is connected to the security company’s console, inform the security company about the break-in.
A motion detector alarm works in the same way: if something moves in the premises being monitored, the alarm is activated and starts working according to the algorithms you set.
A perimeter security alarm, which is designed to protect large outdoor areas, works according to the same principle. Special sensors are placed around the area you want to protect. These sensors have a direct line of sight. If someone wants to enter the area, they have to cross the visibility zone. When the direct line of sight is crossed, the alarm goes off and the system shows where the direct line of sight was compromised, thus identifying the location of the breach.
What can a security alarm offer?
- The ability to create separate protection zones;
- Remote control and the ability to control additional devices (gates, doors, lighting and temperature by GSM phone and SMS);
- Notifications sent to you about any changes in the object (by phone, SMS, e-mail);
- The option of connection sirens and external microphones;
- Remote programming;
- Audio monitoring;
- The ability to connect to the security company’s console;
- The ability to connect video surveillance and fire safety systems;
- The ability to connect to a smart home or smart office (BMS systems).
Where are security and perimeter alarms used?
- Flats;
- Houses;
- Offices;
- Factories;
- Construction sites.
Security and perimeter alarms are closely related to the installation of computer and telecommunications networks. If you are planning on installing a security alarm, we suggest consulting with our specialists first – we will assess the project in a broader perspective and recommend the most effective solutions.
Fire alarm
The purpose of a fire alarm is to inform the user, building manager and fire services about a possible or real fire hazard.
There are two types of fire alarms: addressable and conventional. Addressable fire alarms determine the fire point within the accuracy of a sensor, while conventional fire alarms do so within the accuracy of a zone. Of course, addressable fire alarms are more expensive than conventional ones.
There are also two types of sensors: smoke and heat. Smoke sensors react to changes in the concentration of solid particles (smoke), while heat sensors react to temperature changes in the environment. When smoke appears or the temperature rises, the sensors are activated and transmit information to the system about the change in status. The system transmits a message to the user about a possible or real hazard, informs the security services, activates the fire extinguishing systems, and so on.
