Advancement in Intrusion Detection System Technologies

Advancements in Home Security

If you are like so many other people, you may be surprised to hear of all of the changes that have taken place with regards to home security technology. Of course you have seen the James Bond movies where the burglar simply whips out a pair of wire cutters and deftly disarms any security system that he comes across.

No more. With a wireless alarm system there are no wires to cut and the system components communicate with the main control panel just like miniature walkie-talkies and this is all accomplished through the miracle of micro-electronics. Now the trigger devices that are mounted on doors and windows are powered by small batteries that last up to three years and signal the control panel when they need to be replaced. Also another updated and commonly used in home and business alarm systems is the motion detector and the body heat detector. What these devices do is actually look for body heat and things that are moving and then signal the alarm systems control panel when they see either of them.

If you think that they can be thwarted by walking slowly or covering the body you couldn't be more wrong! They can be so accurately calibrated that they can easily differentiate between humans and small animals such as dogs and cats, so there is never a false alarm.
