Home Security System

What is a security system?

Security system is literally a means or method by which something is secured through a system of interworking components and devices. When we talk about home security system, it can be said that it is network of integrated electronic devices working together with a central control panel to protect against thieves and other potential home intruders.

A typical home security system includes:
  • A control panels which is the primary controller of home’s security system
  • Door and window sensors
  • Motion sensors
  • Wired or wireless security cameras
  • A high-decibel siren or alarm
  • A yard sign and window stickers

How does a security system work?

Home security systems work on the simple concept of securing entry points into a home with sensors that communicate with a control panel installed in a convenient location somewhere in the home. The sensors are typically placed in doors that lead to and from a house as well as easily accessible windows, particularly any that open, especially those at ground level. Open spaces inside of homes can be secured with motion sensors.

            1) Control Panel
The control panel is the computer that arms and disarms the security systems, communicates with each installed component, sounds the alarm when a security zone is breached, and communicates with an alarm monitoring company. They typically feature a touch pad for easy programming and interaction is where pass codes are entered to arm and disarm the system, can work on voice commands, and can be programmed to work with wireless remote controls called key fobs.

2)  Door and Window Sensors
 Door and window sensors are contained of two parts installed together to each other. One part of the device is installed on the door or window and the other on the door frame or window sill. When a door or window is closed, the two parts of the sensor are joined together and creating a security circuit.
                                               
When the security system is armed at the control panel, these sensors communicate with it by reporting that the point of entry is secure. When monitored door or window opened, the security circuit is broken and the control panel interprets this as a breach of a secured zone. A high-decibel alarm is sounded and in most cases the alarm monitoring company is automatically notified.

3) Motion Sensors
These security components protect a given space by creating an invisible zone that cannot be breached without sounding an alarm. Motion sensors are used to protect rooms comprising valuables as well as area less visited in larger home.

4) Surveillance Cameras
It is available in wired and wireless configuration. These cameras can be used in several different ways as part of an overall security system. Surveillance cameras can be accessed remotely on computers, smartphones and tablets. The home owners usually used in this method when they not at home. They can also be used to record any security breaches which could result in having footage of a home attack.

5) High-decibel Alarm
This alarm is loud enough to be heard by our neighbours. Besides, this home security alarm serves a few different purposes. This alarm alert the people inside the house when there is a problem happen. This alarm also shrills enough to send a burglar running while also notifying nearby neighbours to the situation.

6) Yard Sign and Yellow Stickers
These items play an important role in home security. When you place a security company’s sticker in front of window and plant their sign in your front yard, it means you are telling the burglars your home is protected and not wise choice for a struggled burglary. They are effective at conveying this message and should be used as recommended by the security company.

As a conclusion, by having a home security system professionally monitored and advertised this by displaying window stickers and yard sign it means you are letting burglars know likelihood they will fail and be caught are very high. Home security system also has the ability to remotely manage your house. You can typically arm and disarm your security system from anywhere in the world via a web-enable device which is good for your home safety.

  1. If a simple alarm system is all you are looking for with no additional cost past the original equipment fee, then TYN Security is another good option for you. Similar to Scout, this company only offers equipment that is self-install, so there is no middle man to go through and no expense for installation.
