ABOUT BURGLAR ALARMS

Modern Burglar Alarms are fully electronic. A master control unit is connected to sensors by low voltage wiring, or by narrowband radio frequency signal. Sensors include movement sensors (some of which are designed to ignore movement of pets), and sensors which detect the opening of a door. When triggered, the burglar alarm systems will activate a horn, siren, or flashing light. Burglar alarms can be organized into zones within the house. For example, the first floor can be treated as one zone, which can be set independently from the second floor.

Burglar alarms can be connected to central control stations via the telephone network. Operators at the central station check for false alarms and notify the police department.
