Alarm System Components

Control Panel:
The heart of the security camera and alarm system is normally hidden from view. The power and communication of the alarm system is found here.

Keypad:
This is probably the most visible part of the alarm system. The keypad is normally located next to the main entrance and allows you to deactivate the alarm by punching in a numerical code.

Such keypads are normally separate from the control panel which increases the amount of security present.

Movement Detectors:
These are sensors that detect movement within the property. If no one is supposed to be inside, then this type of alarm can be most effective.

However, you can set them to keep pets from triggering the alarm.

Reed Switches:
These are simple magnets that are placed on windows or doors. One magnet will go on one side of a door or window, the other magnet will be on the opposite side and facing the other when the door or window is closed.

If the door or window should be opened, the magnets will separate, and an alarm will sound. This simple system is quite good at alerting home and business owners of break-ins.

Sirens:
This is what alerts you, those around you, and the authorities to a break-in.
