Although every home is unique, each one should be equipped with a custom home security system that has the right kind of sensors.
At Security Alarm, members of our sales team take the time to carefully design a system that matches the needs of the home itself while also meeting the wants of the owner.
Home Security Sensors
Each system is a compilation of various types of detectors. Detectors send for help when activated, and together they keep homes safe from nearly every threat and disturbance.
- glass break detectors
- window and door sensors
- smoke detectors
- heat detectors
- water bugs
Home Security System: Intrusion Sensors
Window Sensors and Door Sensors
Window and door sensors are the foundation of any home security system. These come in two pieces. One part fits onto the door or window itself, while the other attaches to the frame. Both are positioned right next to each other so that when the two pieces are separated, they send a signal to the alarm panel.
Keep in mind that these little sensors not only work on traditional doors but can also be utilized to monitor various types of cabinets within the home:
- Gun Cabinets/ Gun Safes
- Medicine Cabinets
- Liquor Cabinets
- Tool Cabinets
Glass Break Sensors
Glass break detectors are essential in protecting homes from intruders. Traditional window sensors would detect someone raising a window that is unlocked, but would do nothing if the window was broken. Glass break detectors listen for the impact and pitch of glass breaking.
These also save you money because they can cover all the windows within roughly 25 feet of a line of site. This offers you more bang for your buck. We strongly believe that every home needs glass break detectors.
Motion Detectors
Motion sensors create an infrared map, using infrared energy. Typically, they are set at 45 degrees and placed in the corner of a wall. When someone walks into a room, the sensor identifies human body temperature and change in energy. Motion sensors can also be set up for distance and sensitivity.
PET IMMUNE MOTION SENSORS
Not only do we install traditional motion sensors but we also provide motion sensors that work well with pets. Many customers with pets are afraid to install these detectors for fear that their pet’s motion will trip the alarm when they are away. At Security Alarm, we can program motion sensors so that they will not detect movement on the ground but will pick up movement at a higher level within the room. This allows pets to walk along the floor undetected while still capturing a person that may walk through your house during a break-in.
Home Security System: Life Safety Sensors
Environmental Detectors
Oftentimes environmental risks such as floods, leaks, and extreme temperatures are more common than break-ins. Whether you are home or away, environmental detectors give you peace of mind and help minimize the risk of dangerous conditions.
Environmental detectors are typically installed in:
- kitchens
- bathrooms
- laundry rooms
- basements
Fire & Carbon Monoxide Protection
The most important types of sensors are the ones that fight against fire and carbon monoxide. Smoke detectors, heat detectors, and CO detectors strategically located throughout a home are vital for the protection of you and your family.
