Security alarm: installation and installation

Security alarms are a collection of technical devices that alert you of illegal intrusion into a private facility. At the same time, it emits an alarming sound and transmits information to the security panel. In the modern world, such a system is very necessary. Under supervision put private houses, shops, warehouses and other.

Autonomous alarm system

This is a fairly reliable burglar alarm. Installation of it is as follows. In the room, special sensors and alarm sirens are mounted. They are all connected to the same control panel. If penetration occurs, the sensors operate and transmit a signal to the panel. It, in turn, includes elements of sound and light. To disable it, you must type a security code on the panel or apply a key.

With the console system, the signal goes directly to the security company's panel. After this, his staff immediately respond to the call and arrive at the alarm location. The choice of this type of system is the most reliable. But he is one of the most expensive.

GSM

The system of this type is also equipped with sensors, but already with GSM-module. From the control panel, when the sensor is triggered, an SMS message is sent to the number of the owner or the responsible person. He will have to call the appropriate services. Is not inferior to the reliability of the alternative and this burglar alarm. Installation can be both professional and independent. Disconnected from the keyboard on the panel or key. At cost, this type is more advantageous than the remote one, since you do not have to pay monthly installments to a security company. You just need to monitor the balance of the number that is attached to the alarm.

Local

Such an alarm system can send a signal to the security panel, which is located directly on the site. Or he does not go anywhere at all. Such a system serves rather to deter intruders by including a siren. It can not be called reliable, since if criminals know that this system is being used, naturally, it will not scare them. Advantage can be called only a small expense for the installation of such a system. Alarm-alarming is a separate type intended for an emergency call of a patrol on an object. The alarm is given by the alarm button.

Which kind to choose?

In order for the alarm system to serve its purpose, it is necessary to determine the type of room in which it will be installed. If we are talking about the construction of a summer or garage type, it is recommended to choose an autonomous type of protection. If someone tries to illegally enter the object, the sound signal can scare away the attackers. The GSM-system will do, too, since its installation does not require a fixed phone.

But in a residential building or apartment, it is better to consider the option of a remote control. This species is more reliable and reacts to all kinds of violations: penetration, breaking of the front door, broken glass. Any of the types of the remote guard system can be set up appropriately, for example, that it does not work to move the animal.

By type of connection, alarms are divided into wired and wireless. At the same time, wiring is rarely found, they are not profitable because of the need for construction and electrical work, which are very expensive. Security alarm for the house must be first and foremost reliable!

Elements of the system

• Control Panel. This is the device that receives signals from all sensors. It contains a control and adjustment system. It is the control panel that transmits the alarm signal when it penetrates. If you install this element yourself, you may have difficulties with the security company. They may require that the burglar alarm (installation including) be purchased only from them.
• Sensors. They come in different types and are intended for different purposes (motion, sound, opening / closing openings, vibration, etc.). Together with the signal well install and fire, which will be equipped with burglar alarm. The price of the system will increase slightly, but the security of the property will be more complete. At present, sensors can be equipped with anything. They can react to water, humidity and other. But their installation is optional.
• Notification devices. Include both sound devices and signals with light, you can also take to them devices that transmit an alarm signal to the phone.

Installing the system

Once the alarm selection is made, you can proceed with the installation. If this is not a local system, then it's best to entrust its installation to professionals. Currently, it is not difficult to find them, there are many companies specializing in this profile. There must be such a company necessarily with a license and with qualified masters in this field. Security alarm (installation of it - it's not very troublesome) should be installed in accordance with existing regulations. In the contract that is concluded with such a company, the following types of work are usually prescribed:

• design;
• Delivery of equipment;
• installation;
• commissioning works;
• Service maintenance of the security alarm system.

At the request of the client, the firm can carry out the installation according to the prepared plan, but with the replacement of the components that can be purchased at another company. It should be noted that such manipulations entail an increase in the price of installation of security alarm.

Doing everything yourself

If there is a desire to save on installation of the security alarm system, then you can make it yourself. There is no big difference in the systems of such a device, as the burglar alarm for a house or a summer residence. Complexities in the installation should not arise if there are elementary school knowledge and a set of tools.

Installing a wired system

Currently, you rarely see such systems on sale, although they are cheaper than wireless analogues. For installation, a large number of wires of such length is required to be sufficient for all sensors. You need to know the difference in the plus and minus and have good patience.

The sensor is fixed with a special terminal strip to the wire. The same element should be on the control panel. Connect the wires of the device as recommended by the manufacturer. You should check the correct connection and operation of the alarm.

A mandatory condition - at least 20 centimeters should be between the cable and the power line. All the sensors are already adjusted, but if you need to make changes, you need to do this smoothly and check the sensor every time. It is necessary to realize that the maintenance of the security alarm system, established independently, often falls on the shoulders of the owner of the house.

Mounting the wireless system

Such alarms are easy to install. The time is only a couple of hours. In order to properly install a wireless security alarm , you need to know the nuances of each of the elements.

Install the control panel. To equip a small room, a panel is enough to which four sensors can be connected. If their number is larger, it's also not bad - they can be installed in additional places. The very box of the panel should be installed so that it was invisible and protected. The panel power can be autonomous (battery) or combined (if the main power is turned off, the battery starts working). The panels can be different in the way they are programmed: manually, by the program on the Internet or by running the system in the store.

Installation of sensors. The most popular types are the elements of vibration control and movement. The sensor, which responds to movement, should be installed directly in the place of possible penetration. To set any of them there are rules.

1. It is not allowed that during the work they are closed by other objects.
2. Install them away from heating appliances.
3. It is important to avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
4. The installation should be done on the bracket in a place where there are no cyclic vibrations.

After the installation is completed, you should check the correct operation, connect the system. The sensor should start immediately, after 30 seconds the indicator should light up.

The vibration sensor is installed on windows and doors. It can be put on those items that are not allowed to touch, as well as special cabinets, boxes, safes.

Elements of fire alarm are installed on the ceiling of the room, so that they better detect the increase in temperature and smoke. Check these sensors simply - bring a burning or smoking object, the device should give a signal after a few seconds.

Access Keys

They are similar to all known keys from the intercom and have the same principle of operation. The main rule - do not leave them unattended and do not give them to outsiders, make a duplicate of such keys is not much work. A more modern version is a remote control. But modern criminals can possess a special device that will allow you to read the code from such a key.

Signals of light and sound should be placed in hard-to-reach places, protected from atmospheric precipitation. It is necessary to carry out a performance check.

Repair of security alarm systems

Modern equipment requires high stability of its work. In order to avoid malfunctions, it is better to carry out preventive planning work, they will help to identify defects in work in time. If you still need repairs, you will have to call specialists and check the following details:

• Fastening of equipment, appearance and condition of installation;
• Condition of wires and transitions;
• Power supply sources;
• Sound and light annunciators.

The modern version allows you to install a security alarm system and video surveillance. The video surveillance can be installed separately. But it is in combination with the alarm system that it is more effective. With the help of such a system one can not only observe what is happening on the protected object at the present time, but also record the possible penetration. The capabilities of the video system do not end there. It can give a light or sound signal and notify the necessary services or responsible persons.
