ALARM SYSTEMS
Alarm systems are used to monitor the status of openings in a protected perimeter and activity in selected areas inside the perimeter.
Alarm systems alert the facility managers or other monitoring station personnel that an unwanted activity has taken place.
A quality alarm system will give you complete peace of mind for your property or business. Comprehensive alarm systems rely on a combination of contacts placed at doors and windows and motion sensors. As an example, it is best that all exterior potential points of entry have contacts that sense when they are open.

CUSTOM MADE DESIGN FOR YOUR SECURITY NEEDS
The design of these systems begins with establishing a control perimeter; this is generally a contiguous arrangement of walls or other barriers that resist entry by ordinary means.
Doors, windows and other openings are created in this perimeter to permit personnel to enter and exit thereby allowing them to use the space.
These openings present opportunities for unauthorized access and are usually held closed by locks and various electronic control devices such as access control systems (see Access Control elsewhere in this website). However, locks can be defeated and doors can be forced making it necessary to know the status of the control barriers (such as doors) in these openings at all times. This is the primary mission of a burglar alarm system. More information on burglar alarm systems can be found elsewhere in this website.

ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS AND DEVICES
Additionally, these systems are used to detect unwanted conditions within the protected space.
These conditions are primarily intrusion and fire (there is additional information on both these systems in this website).
There is a wide range of detectors available for both intrusion and fire that can be connected to alarm systems.
These detectors are designed for specialized applications and should be chosen with the help of a qualified design and implementation specialist.
Intrusion detection devices are usually designed to detect the presence of an individual inside a protected space. They work by sensing heat or motion and signaling the alarm system that a presence has been detected. Likewise, fire detection devices are designed to sense the characteristics of a fire inside the protected space and like intrusion detection devices, signals the alarm system that fire conditions have occurred.

MONITORING SERVICES AND STATIONS
Some systems are monitored “on-site” by the owners of the facility. This usually requires additional personnel and substantial investment in monitoring equipment, selection, hiring, training and managing monitoring station personnel.
In some cases, companies find it more economical to contract monitoring services from a third party service provider, these are called monitoring stations. Additional information can be found elsewhere in this website on the selection and benefits of monitoring service companies. A qualified expert can help you decide which approach is right for your application.
With a properly chosen and carefully alarm system installed, your security benefits are two-fold - you prevent people from breaking in, and you also maintain your ability to keep your business or property running smoothly.
