How Intruder Alarms Work
Modern intruder alarm systems comprise several interconnected components working together to detect and respond to unauthorised entry. The primary components include:
- Control Panel: The system's brain, processing signals from all sensors and determining appropriate responses.
- Motion Sensors: Advanced PIR (Passive Infrared) detectors that identify movement through heat signature detection.
- Door and Window Contacts: Magnetic sensors that trigger when entry points are breached.
- Glass Break Detectors: Acoustic sensors that recognise the specific frequency of breaking glass.
- Internal/External Sirens: High-decibel alarms that activate upon detection.
Types of Intruder Alarms
At McLaughlin Fire & Security Consultants, we offer three primary types of intruder alarm systems:
Monitored Alarm Systems
These systems connect to our Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), providing 24/7 professional monitoring. When triggered, our team verifies the alarm and alerts appropriate authorities. Ideal for high-security requirements and commercial properties.
Self-Monitored Systems
Connected to your smartphone via GSM technology, these systems send instant notifications when activated. You maintain control over response actions while away from your property.
Bell-Only Systems
Traditional systems that activate audible sirens upon detection. These serve as effective deterrents and are suitable for residential properties in lower-risk areas.
