Many owners of cottages protect their suburban property through an alarm. Recently, security systems for summer cottages are becoming more and more popular. In the modern electronics market, the buyer is offered many versions of such security systems. One of the most convenient of them is a wireless gsm alarm system.
Such a system is used where it is not possible to lay wires to the sensors from the central unit. Sensors in such a security system operate with batteries, and the signal is transmitted over the air.
Security systems for summer cottages have a number of features. Most often, the standard kit includes everything you need to create a gsm alarm. Setting up and installing such a system is notable for its simplicity. You can connect additional sensors or radio remote controls. But due to the fact that the batteries located in the sensors do not work in cold weather, such security systems are suitable only for installation in rooms where the temperature is maintained above minus 5 degrees.
Before installing security systems for gsm-based summer cottages, it is worth, according to the instructions, to configure the system by writing phone numbers to the memory of the central unit. After this procedure, place this unit in a place hidden from prying eyes, where it would be possible to power from a 220 V outlet.
Before installing the sensors, it is recommended to test them for operability, to check the passage of radio signals from them to the control unit.
You can arm or disarm such a system in several ways:
- by radio remote control;
- using a call from a mobile.
When triggered, the sensor sends a signal to the central unit, which, in turn, turns on the siren, sending SMS messages and dialing numbers previously entered into the memory. Also, if desired, it is possible to disable part of the sensors. For example, going to bed, you can leave on only sensors on doors and windows. The radio remote control has an immediate alert button.
Features that wireless gsm-alarm has:
- sends Russified sms messages;
- battery life can last up to 3 days when connecting a backup battery;
- it is possible to remove or arm the system by sending an sms command; this is also possible using a key fob or a radio remote control;
- sending a notification system using a gsm signal;
- if necessary, the opportunity to connect an external microphone;
- for visual determination of the alarm mode, a remote wired beacon is intended;
- in order to ensure the protection of areas inaccessible to radio signals, it is possible to connect several wired sensors, the wiring of which is protected by "terminal" resistors;
- You can configure 8 of 9 wireless zones with an unlimited number of sensors and one 24-hour zone with smoke and gas sensors in a constant security mode, regardless of the alarm mode;
- To control electrical appliances, there are three relays that are activated using SMS messages;
- function of partial arming and disarming;
- for notification via messages and calls, three numbers can be entered into the memory of the central unit;
- Using the program for online monitoring the balance of the SIM card, you can easily track the money in the account installed in the GSM alarm system of the SIM card.
Wireless burglar alarms for cottages can be used not only in the suburban area, but also for the protection of small rooms. Such systems can connect not only wireless, but also wired sensors. When triggered, the notification is made by sending an SMS message to the pre-programmed three mobile numbers. Security systems for giving provide an opportunity to create several zones, which will allow you to determine in which particular violation of the security regime occurred.
