What are the capabilities of a security system?
Due to the variable size, application, and integration potential of security systems, capabilities are adaptable to your needs. There are the basic devices available to monitor intrusion: PIR (motion detector), door/window contact, and glass break sensor; these devices are designed to notify when there is unauthorized entry or movement. In addition to intrusion monitoring devices, a panel may monitor safety alarms such as smoke/fire alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, etc. If it is desired, a security system can be integrated with other building systems to provide more specific types of protection, for example a heating/cooling system, or CCTV surveillance.
