Alarms are one of the easiest and cheapest types of security systems. It is used for a timely signal to organs that can ensure the safety of an object if attackers or hooligans attack it. Switching the system on and off manually is done by the employees of the enterprise or the security chief. This warning system is used in financial institutions where constant monitoring of employees and cash registers is required. It is worth noting that it is quite difficult to control visitors.
General information
The CCC alarm button should be placed away from the eyes of customers, since criminals can remember its location and use this information for personal gain. At the same time, its location should not impede the use of company employees if necessary. After pressing the alarm button, the signal goes directly to the security service, where experts monitor this around the clock. Field investigators immediately leave for the place. The alarm button is used as a security system in small organizations that have just opened and are not able to use more serious methods of protection against criminals.
Main types
Alarms are divided into the following types:
- Compact fixtures for classic flush mounting.
- Devices installed in the public domain, while hiding behind other interior elements. This type is divided into two subspecies: simple devices that disguise themselves as common objects, and exclusive devices manufactured in accordance with the personal preferences of the client. On exclusive buttons the company logo is applied.
- Panic button - security alarm of a new sample (attached to jewelry, watches or key rings).
- Combined models - designed to prevent fake calls. In such devices, the signal to the security control panel will be received if both buttons are pressed.
Important! When using wireless devices, it is important to consider its range. You should also think about the placement in advance, as some structural materials can drown out the signal.
Where is it used?
Various models of panic buttons are widely represented on the market. The principle of operation is based on the transmission of a signal by a switching mechanism - this applies to mobile devices. If a conventional wired system is used, the alarm is first accepted by the alarm module, after which the information is transmitted to the control room. A few minutes later, a special service arrives at the scene.
KTS has a transmitter in its configuration, the functioning of which depends on the GSM range. They are widespread due to the coverage area, as well as easy installation and maintenance. Among the negative aspects, it is worth highlighting the dependence on the mobile operator and the possibility of jamming the signal by criminals who use special devices. To amplify the signal and range, additional devices are connected.
The security alarm system can have a different structure, which depends on the object where its installation is required:
- Financial institutions (banks and pawnshops) - CCC is established without fail and affects the overall security of the institution. In some cases, the button is equipped with additional functions, such as closing windows and doors.
- Hangar or warehouse - depending on the goods in stock. CCC can function together with an evacuation or video surveillance warning system.
- House or apartment - it is not advisable to install such a system. It is used when the communication line is connected with the security service.
- Cottage or garage - the alarm system functions together with a GSM modem.
Burglar alarm and alarm - the main differences
The security system is based on the execution of actions that have been pre-programmed. When the premises are hacked or other violations, the signal goes to the dispatcher on the remote control.
An alarm system allows a person to independently send a signal for help. These systems are installed in almost all small stores, which allows you to call for help during an attack.
Advantages of use
Ready-made devices are much cheaper than burglar or fire alarms. Standard alarms can be set up without problems on your own. Installation of a more serious system will take several days.
These devices show high efficiency in guarding an object of large quadrature and with a complex arrangement of rooms.
