Whether it’s for your commercial or personal space, security is one of the most important things ever. It helps protect your property and crucial credentials from theft. The intruder alarm is an inevitable part of this security system.
Although numerous alarm system companies offer a tailored session to understand your requirements and suggest alarms accordingly, knowing the types helps in choosing the best.
4 Types of Detection for Your Business Intruder Alarm
Passive Infra-Red (PIR) Detector
Passive infrared detectors, commonly referred to as PIRs, are one of the most widely used types of intruder alarms. These alarms can detect motion and raise warnings accordingly. PIRs are mounted on a wall or the corner of two walls at a height of 1.8-2.5 m, and most have a detection range of 10-15 m at an angle of 45-90°.
Some models can also be mounted on the ceiling. The lens of PIRs splits the received beam into several planes, each plane having alternate ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ areas. This helps in ensuring more accurate alarms.
Quad Element PIRs
The quad-element PIRs are similar to the PIRs. However, they have the beam planes split into four ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ zones in the form of a square. This helps identify the pattern of activities and raises the right alarm. These alarms are ideal for offices, shops, and dwellings to minimise false alarms and enhance safety.
Door Contacts
Door contacts are designed to be on the top of doors or openings. These intruder alarms come in various shapes and sizes, making them ideal for every location. Whenever the door gets opened, the camera starts working. These alarms are best for industrial environments.
Vibration Detectors
If you are looking for something that is most accurate, consider vibration detectors. Vibration detector intruder alarms are designed to track unusual vibrations, such as those that force windows or doors to open. They are intended to distinguish between these motions and non-emergency motions, such as loose doors or wind vibration. This helps reduce false alarms and ensures high-grade security. These alarms can be used in any space.
Break Glass Detectors
Theft often utilises high-end technology to break glass and gain entry into your space. The updated technology enables trespassing without making any noise or alerting anyone. You can prevent this with broken glass detector intruder alarms. These alarms can detect any minor activity near the glass and raise a security alarm to alert of potential burglary. Install these alarms near your glass door, window or area.
