System Overview

Intrusion alarm systems are designed to detect unauthorized persons.  These systems utilize detectors and sensors to detect an intruders presence.  Some of the more commonly utilized detectors are door contacts, infrared detectors, infrared / microwave detectors, photoelectric beams, and glassbreak detectors.

These detectors are connected to a control panel that when activated senses the status of the detector and reports any violations to a Control Center for police or security dispatch, and Responsible Party notification. 

These systems are typically activated and deactivated through the use of a keypad and an authorized code (PIN).  Some system are activated and deactivated based on a programmed time schedule, and yet others are done based on a relay trigger.
