A burglar alarm system is an electronic network designed to detect unauthorized entry and alert property owners or a monitoring service through a central control panel and various sensors. Key components include the control panel (the system's brain), sensors (like door/window contacts and motion detectors), and an alarm (a loud siren and/or flashing lights). These systems deter intruders, provide peace of mind, and can integrate with smart home technology for remote monitoring and control.
*Detection : Sensors, such as magnetic contacts on doors and windows, or motion detectors, are placed throughout the property to detect disturbances.
*Signal Transmission : When a sensor is triggered by an intrusion, it sends a signal to the central control panel.
*Alarm Activation : The control panel processes the signal and activates an audible and/or visual alarm, like a loud siren or flashing lights.
*Control Panel : The central hub that receives signals from sensors and coordinates the alarm response.
Sensors : Devices that detect specific intrusions, including
Door/Window Sensors: Detect when a door or window is opened.
*Motion Detectors : Sense movement within a designated area.
Glass Breakage Sensors: Detect the sound of breaking glass.
