Security Alarms
A security system is used to protect the people or property for which the system is connected. Most security alarm companies provide a service where they help monitor the system remotely for a monthly fee. Security systems might include cameras, motion sensors, door and window sensors, as well as carbon monoxide and smoke sensors.
The panel is the brain of the security alarm system. It is typically where you'll enter your security "code" to arm and disarm the system. It is also used to add new sensors to the system.
Often times the security system is connected to your home internet or phone service. This is how the system alerts authorities when a sensor is tripped. Many systems even have their own dedicated cellphone line incase your home phone or power goes out.
One of the best things about security systems is the loud sirens that sound when a sensor is triggered when the system is alarmed. This siren lets the intruder know that a system exists and to get out quickly.
