Security equipment starter kits
Security alarm starter kits are sets of equipment that control the security inside and outside the premises: private houses, offices, commercial premises and others.
What devices does the starter kit of equipment for the security system consist of
The basic set of security alarm devices includes the following devices:
- Security control panel.
- A set of sensors: motion, window and door openings, glass break sensors. Some security systems allow you to supplement the burglar alarm with flood and fire sensors.
Additionally are used:
- Devices for managing the security system — key fobs, keyboards. Modern security systems allow you to control devices using applications for PC or phones, but specialized devices are often more convenient and easier (depending on where the alarm is installed).
- Light or sound detectors — sirens that help frighten off an intruder from the scene and attract the attention of neighbors
The price of a basic set of security alarms depends on the number of devices and their types.
Types of alarm kits
There are two main types of security systems, these are wired devices and wireless. Wired alarm devices are connected to the control panel with cables and require wiring at the initial stage of repair.
The wireless security system works by transmitting data over a radio channel. Installation of the system is possible even in the completed repair.
The burglar alarm can be used as a self-monitoring system or connected to a central monitoring station (CMS) of a security company. The first option involves self-control of the situation in the guarded room. The user receives all alarms on a mobile phone, he is also responsible for the response to the incident.
The second option of the security alarm involves the reaction to the incident by professionals. The alarm signal is received not only by the user, but also by the security company, which is obliged to immediately respond to the event.
Another important criterion for choosing a set of security devices is the installation location. There are security systems for indoor and outdoor installation. The latter are often protected from rain, dust and other external factors.
