an alarm system thought deter the casual intruder and ringing alarm
encourages neighbours and officials investigate possible criminal act. This possible using infra-red lighting which
renders the scene under observation visible the camera while the
human eye appears total darkness. 14.
SUPPLY
The supply the intruder alarm system must secure and this usually
achieved a. Nickel–cadmium
rechargeable cells are usually mounted the sounder housing box.
Closed circuit television
Closed circuit television (CCTV) now integral part many security
systems. The system switched off the control
panel using switch coded buttons.
Design considerations
It estimated that there now chance being burgled, but the
installation security system does deter potential intruder. avoid triggering the alarm you
enter leave the premises, there are exit and entry delay times allow
movement between the control panel and the door. CCTV systems range from single monitor with just one camera
dedicated monitoring perhaps hotel car park, through systems with
many internal and external cameras connected several locations for
monitoring perhaps shopping precinct. All external sensors and warning devices radi-
ate from the control panel. Every
home Britain will almost certainly contain electrical goods, money or
valuables value intruder.
The type and extent the intruder alarm installation, and therefore the cost,
will depend upon many factors including the type and position the build-
ing, the contents the building, the insurance risk involved and the peace
of mind offered alarm system the owner occupier the building. Installing intruder alarm system tells
the potential intruder that you intend make his job difficult, which in
most cases encourages him look for easier pickings.
