Home Security Systems - For Your Family's Peace of Mind
Burglar (or intrusion), fire and safety alarms are found in electronic form today. A system of sensors is connected to a control unit, which in turn connects to a means for announcing the alarm, hopefully to elicit some response.
Some systems are dedicated to one mission, others handle fire, intrusion, and safety alarms simultaneously. Sophistication ranges from small, self-contained noisemakers, to complicated, multi-zoned digital systems with color-coded computer monitor outputs.
Many of these concepts also apply to portable alarms for protecting cars, trucks or other vehicles and their contents (i.e., ""car alarms""). See also fire alarm control panel for specific fire system issues. Burglar alarms are sometimes also referred to as alarm systems. (Source: Wikipedia)
