Protecting your home from intruders, break-ins, and fires used to be a very expensive installation with the old traditional wired alarm systems.
Since the release of wireless burglar alarms it has made it affordable for almost any home owner, or renter to install an alarm system in their home.
It all runs through radio frequency waves, eliminating hard-labor installations.
The control panel is the part of the system that gets notified by the other components when there is an intruder in the house.
It's the brain of all wireless burglar alarms, so it should be place somewhere out of the way.
Like a basement, or a closet.
The keypad is where you can modify the settings.
This is also where you can activate and deactivate the alarm system; so you should put it at an easy access place.
Some systems come with remote controls which are useful for activating and deactivating the alarm from a distance.
The entrance doors are the most vulnerable parts of the house to intruders.
Especially if you have the glass sliding doors in the back yards cause those can easily be broken.
Also most door frames are made of wood, which can easily be chattered with a forceful push of the door (you've all seen Police Videos).
All the windows, glass sliding doors, and other entrance doors should be protected with magnetic switches to detect when there is an intrusion.
When either a door or a window is opened it sends the signal over to the main control panel and turns on the alarm.
To detect motions either in big rooms, hallways, or other areas motion sensors is great.
They detect body heat, and motion from 30-60 feet, depending on what equipment you have.
To protect the outside areas, or check who's at the door way cameras are real handy.
They send their feed back to the monitor.
Although those of us who own wireless burglar alarms hope that we will never have to put them to use, they are extremely useful when the situation actually does show up.
It allows you to handle the situation in a much more relaxed way, especially if you are paying for monitoring fees.
