System Designs
There are three types of system designs and each design is for a different type
of protection.
 Perimeter Protection
If your main priority is to protect people first, then you should consider a
perimeter protection system. this means that all points of entry will be
protected with sensors. every door, window, sky light, heat vent (large enough
for a body to climb through), and opening in general will have a sensor. These
sensors are all along the perimeter of the premise. It is like having an
imaginary line drawn completely around you. You arm your system while you are
home or away. The moment anyone breaks the perimeter of your home the alarm will
sound. This system detects the intruder while they are on then outside of the
premise. It gives you the peace of mind in knowing that you will not bump into
anyone in your home. The alarm will sound before they even enter.
Area Protection
This provides to specific areas within a facility. It consists mostly of motion
sensors, although photoelectric detectors are also in this category. Area
protection means that if anyone walks into this area, the alarm will detect
them. It is primarily to protect property. The system is designed to be armed
when you are away. You cannot arm a motion detector and wander freely about in
the premise.
Object Protection
Object protection is for items that are considered likely targets for burglars.
These include items such as safes, gun cabinets, computers, and filing cabinets.
Although object protection can be used in isolation, such as in a bank vault, it
is typically used in combination with perimeter and or area protection. It can
also be used as a local alarm not reporting to the monitoring station to keep
young children out of medicine cabinets, gun cabinets, or cleaning supply
cabinets. In this case , these cabinets are always armed and the local siren
reports when any one of these objects has been opened.
