Security Systems
The technical means used to organize the protection of buildings and structures are aimed at preventing, detecting and preventing any threats and illegal actions. Today, manufacturers of technical systems offer different types of devices: electronic, electromechanical, electromagnetic, etc. Many modern technical equipment remains operational even in case of power outages, because they switch to backup sources . Thanks to this, the risk of unauthorized entry is minimized.
What is a part of the security alarm system and how does it work?
A set of technical means for detecting an intruder at a guarded facility and notification of a security violation in order to detain the intruder.
Types and equipment
Security systems, video surveillance and alarm systems are increasingly being used in our lives. Alarm systems are used to detect the penetration of unauthorized persons to the object of protection and the creation of a special alert. An alarm can sound or light. Sound alerts are generated by different calls, sirens and other devices. Light alerts are given by LED assemblies, signal lights.

The purpose and type of the security system depends on the type of sensors installed in the security system. Sensors can respond to the following actions:
The water leakage sensor is a small device designed to record and transmit information about an emergency. If water gets on it, then the resistance decreases and an electrical circuit closes. Information about the circuit closure goes to the controller, where the pulse is decrypted and the information is processed.
The heating system can be controlled by various methods and for correct operation temperature sensors are needed that give signals about the operation of the devices. Monitoring the readings of these devices allows you to identify malfunctions in the system in time and take corrective measures. The temperature sensor can be used as a separate device, for example, to control the room temperature, or be an inextricable part of a complex device, for example, a heating boiler.
Sensors of vibration, sound and smoke are the most important part of the security system. Vibration sensor reacts to vibrational vibrations of the protected surface, and reports this to the central console, which gives an audible signal. Acoustic sensors respond to loud sound – including the sound of broken glass. When a sound source appears on the sensor board, the signal LED lights up. Smoke detector is triggered by the appearance of smoke, which is the first sign of a starting fire.
The principle of operation of such a gadget is based on infrared radiation that comes from a living object. When an object appears in the field of view of the device, the temperature of which exceeds the value of the temperature in the room, the motion sensor gives a signal. For outdoor installations, there are special motion sensors – outdoor.
Opening sensors can be purchased to secure your home or workplace from intrusion. With the help of a magnet, the device contacts are closed when the door or window is locked, if they are opened, they open. This sensor serves as an integral part of a security complex that responds to movement.
Technical security systems – an automated integrated security system. Its advantages are round-the-clock uninterrupted monitoring of the facility and prompt response in the event of certain situations. The main goal of technical protection is to prevent and prevent a certain situation on which the safety of the facility depends.
