Security alarm is a collectiontechnical devices that inform about illegal penetration into a private facility. At the same time, it emits an alarming sound and transmits information to the security panel. In the modern world, such a system is very necessary. Under supervision put private houses, shops, warehouses and other.
Autonomous alarm system
This is a fairly reliable burglar alarm. Setting it is as follows.
With the console system, the signal arrivesdirectly to the security company's panel. After that, his staff immediately respond to the call and arrive at the alarm location. The choice of this type of system is the most reliable. But he is one of the most expensive.
GSM
The system of this type is also equipped with sensors,but already with the GSM-module. From the control panel, when the sensor is triggered, an SMS message is sent to the number of the owner or the responsible person. He will have to call the relevant services. Not inferior to the reliability of the alternative and this burglar alarm. Installation can be both professional and independent. Disconnected from the keyboard on the panel or key.
Local
Такая система охранной сигнализации может send a signal to the remote control, which is located directly on the site. Or he does not go anywhere at all. Such a system serves rather to deter intruders by including a siren. It can not be called reliable, since if criminals know that this system is being used, naturally, it will not scare them. The advantage can be called only a small expense for the installation of such a system. Alarm-alarming is a separate type intended for an emergency call of a patrol on an object. The alarm is given by the alarm button.
What kind of pick?
That the security alarm system served its ownpurpose, it is necessary to determine the type of premises in which it will be installed. If we are talking about the construction of a summer or garage type, it is recommended to choose an autonomous type of protection. If someone tries to illegally enter the object, the sound signal can scare off intruders. The GSM-system will do, too, since its installation does not require a fixed phone.
But in a house or apartment it is better to considerversion of the remote control. This species is more reliable and reacts to all kinds of violations: penetration, breaking of the front door, broken glass. Any of the types of the console security system can be set up appropriately, for example, so that it does not work to move the animal.
By the type of connection of the alarm are subdividedto wired and wireless. At the same time, wiring is rarely found, they are not profitable because of the need for construction and electrical work, which are very expensive. Security alarm for the house must be first and foremost reliable!
Elements of the system
- Control Panel.This is the device that receives signals from all sensors. It contains a control and adjustment system. It is the control panel that transmits the alarm signal when it penetrates. If you install this component yourself, you may have difficulties with the security company. They may require that the burglar alarm (installation including) be purchased only from them.
- Sensors.They are of different types and are intended for various purposes (movement, sound, opening / closing openings, vibration, etc.). Together with the signal well install and fire, which will be equipped with burglar alarm. The price of the system will increase slightly, but the security of the property will be more complete. At present, sensors can be equipped with anything. They can react to water, humidity and other. But their installation is optional.
- Notification devices. Include both sound devices and signals with light, you can also take to them devices that transmit an alarm signal to the phone.
Installing the system
Once the alarm has been selected, you canproceed with the installation. If this is not a local system, then it's best to trust it with professionals. Currently, finding them is not difficult, there are many companies specializing in this profile. There must be such a company necessarily with a license and with qualified masters in this field. Security alarm (installation of it - it's not very troublesome) should be installed in accordance with existing regulations. In the contract that is concluded with such a company, the following types of work are usually prescribed:
- design;
- delivery of equipment;
- installation;
- commissioning works;
- service maintenance of the security alarm system.
At the request of the client, the firm can installon a ready-made plan, but with the replacement of components that can be purchased in another company. It should be noted that such manipulations entail an increase in the price of installation of security alarms.
Doing everything yourself
If there is a desire to save on installation of the security alarm system, it is possible to make it yourself.
Installing a wired system
At the present time, you will rarely meet on salesuch systems, although they are cheaper than wireless analogues. The installation requires a large number of wires of the same length to be sufficient for all sensors. You need to know the difference in the plus and minus and have good patience.
The sensor is fixed with a special terminal strip to the wire.The same element should be on the control panel. Connect the wires of the device as recommended by the manufacturer. You should check the correct connection and operation of the alarm.
Mandatory condition - not less than 20 centimetersmust be between the cable and the power line. All the sensors are already adjusted, but if you need to make changes, you need to do this smoothly and check the sensor every time. It is necessary to realize that the maintenance of the security alarm system, established independently, often falls on the shoulders of the owner of the house.
Mounting the wireless system
Such alarms are easy to install. The time is only a couple of hours. In order to properly install a wireless security alarm, you need to know the nuances of each of the elements.
Install the control panel. For the equipment of a small room is enoughpanel, to which four sensors can be connected. If their number is larger, it's also not bad - they can be installed in additional places. The very box of the panel must be installed so that it was invisible and protected. The panel power can be autonomous (battery) or combined (if the main power is turned off, the battery starts working). Panels can be different by the way of programming: manually, by the program on the Internet or by starting the system in the store.
Installation of sensors. The most popular types are the elements of vibration and motion control.
- It is not allowed that during the work they are closed by other objects.
- Install them away from heating appliances.
- It is important to avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
- Installation should be carried out on the bracket in a place where there are no cyclic vibrations.
After the installation is completed, you should check the correct operation, connect the system. The sensor should start working immediately, after 30 seconds the indicator should light up.
The vibration sensor is installed on the windows and doors. It can be put on those items that are not allowed to touch, as well as special cabinets, drawers, safes.
Fire alarm elements are set tothe ceiling of the room, so that they better caught the heat and smoke. Such sensors are simply checked - a burning or smoking object is brought in, the device should give a signal after a few seconds.
Access keys
They are like well-known keys to the intercom andhave the same principle of action. The main rule - not to leave them unattended and not to give them to an outsider, to make a duplicate of such keys will not be difficult. A more modern version - radio key. But modern criminals may have a special device that allows you to read the code from such a key.
Signals of light and sound should be placed in hard to reach places protected from atmospheric precipitation. It is necessary to carry out a performance check.
Security alarm repair
Modern equipment assumes a high stability of its work.
- fixing equipment, appearance and installation status;
- condition of wires and transitions;
- power supplies;
- Sounders sound and light.
A modern option allows you to make the installation of an alarm system and video surveillance.
