So what is your idea of a secure alarm system for your home or business? Trip mechanisms on the doors and windows that will sound the alarm if anyone enters? Or maybe sensors under the carpet and door mats that can detect anyone who walks on them after the system has been set? The truth is that thirty years or so ago this was basically a high tech system, but not any more.
Just like all other areas of the electronics industry, new advances have been non-stop over the years and the result is that new components of today's modern alarm system are nothing short of amazing.
Take for instance new, far more sensitive body heat and motion detectors that are now regularly used to create a 15 foot secure perimeter around buildings.
This means that you don't have to wait for an intruder to come into contact with your home or business for the alarm to be sounded.
No need to worry about false alarms from animals such as dogs and cats either, because these new sensors are finally calibrated to distinguish between humans and even larger animals such as deer.
They also work day or night, rain or shine and are easily concealed.
Of course any alarm system will have sensors on the windows and doors to sound the alarm if they are opened.
What about if someone simply breaks the glass to enter through a broken window though? To protect against this type of break-in scenario you now have several high tech options New tiny sensors are easily attached to the corners of a window that will sense the vibrations caused by breaking glass.
Even better then that, if you don't want any visible sensors on your windows another option is "sound sensors".
These can be mounted on walls near windows and can "hear" the sound of breaking glass.
