Protecting What Matters: Understanding Alarm System Technology

Alarm systems enhance security by detecting and alerting to threats. They include control panels, sensors (PIR, smoke, reed switch, glass break, water leak, temperature), keypads, cameras, and communication devices. Used in homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure, they deter crime, fire, and unauthorised access, offering customisable solutions for various security needs.

Early Leak Detection: Understanding Different Sensor Technologies

Water leak detectors prevent water damage. Flood Sensors detect direct water contact, which is effective but limited. Rope Sensors cover larger areas but are prone to false alarms. Printed Sensors offer wide coverage and are easy to maintain. In-line sensors monitor water flow in pipes, but the location is imprecise and may trigger false alarms.

False Alarms Got You Down? Exploring the PIR Tech Options

PIR technology has evolved to meet a variety of security needs. Standard PIR detectors detect infrared heat and can trigger false alarms from pets or temperature changes. Blue Line detectors improve accuracy with pet-friendly features to reduce false alarms. Dual-tech detectors combine infrared and microwave for more stable, interference-resistant detection. Tri-Tech detectors add Doppler radar for advanced commercial use and easier setup. Quad-Tech detectors with dual sensors excel in challenging setups and minimise false alarms by requiring dual activation before signalling.
