The Science Behind Home Security Systems

A home alarm system is our best companion when it comes to our security. It works nonstop, day and night to keep us safe and stress free. Home alarm systems are available in many varieties to suit every homeowner’s unique needs but basically all the home alarm systems are built around the same concept. So, what is the science behind this brilliant gadget? How does a home alarm system work? Here are the answers to these questions, brought to you by Nightwatch Protection Inc, the authorized dealer of ADT home security systems in Rhode Island.

A home alarm system basically has three components that work together to keep us safe. The three main parts of a home alarm system are:

• Sensors ( To detect)
• Control panel ( To analyze)
• Alarm system ( To deter)  

Sensors

Door and window sensors make up the backbone of any home security system. Door and window sensors come in two pieces. One fits onto the door or window itself, while its counterpart attaches to the frame. The two pieces of sensors are positioned next to each other. When the two pieces are separated, such as when the door or window is opened, they send a signal to the alarm panel. Modern alarm systems like ADT alarm systems use many types of sensors, like: motion sensors, glass break detectors, shock sensors, carbon monoxide sensors, environmental sensors, smoke detectors etc.  

Control Panel

When the sensors installed at your property reacts to an emergency condition, the control panel is activated. A component within that panel is encoded with various alarm messages and other vital information. At the time of alarm activation, the control panel dials out over your existing telephone line and sends your system’s coded alarm signals to the Central Monitoring Station.  

Alarm System

An alarm panel responds to a triggered alarm by activating physical alarms such as a siren and/or strobe lights. These devices are used to scare an intruder away from your premises or alert you of a threatening situation such as a fire or the presence of carbon monoxide.

When fire or any critical signal is received from your home, a reliable home security system like ADT’s home security systems Mainewill act promptly, and could help save your valuables and your life. So, get a reliable ADT security system from Nightwatch Protection Inc. and lead a peaceful life free of worries.
