An electronic security system called an Anti Theft Alarm is installed at specific locations to deter theft or to catch trespassers in the act. It is an entire system with various security sensors and equipment performing their specific functions at various locations, including entrances, perimeters, interiors, exteriors of the premises.
Anti Theft Alarm Working Principle :
- Circuit Break - Devices are installed on doors and windows as part of a complete security system to detect any forced entry. These gadgets are made up of electric circuits with switches that control the flow of electricity in the circuit. In a typical situation, the circuit's electric current keeps flowing and the system stays in the alert mode. The electric circuit is broken and the flow of current is interrupted when someone enters the area violently. When the electric current stops flowing, the gadget enters panic mode and sends a signal to the control panel informing it that there is suspicious activity going on.
- Motion Sensing - As the name suggests, the security system consists of some devices like AIR sensor, PIR sensor, Microwave sensor that sense the motion in their vicinity or the detection range. These sensors read the temperature changes in their environment and report for suspicious activities to the control panel.
- Notification - The control panel responds in accordance with how it is programmed to act in response to warning signals after receiving the warning signal. In order to address the situation, this may entail sending an alert to the security team or the monitoring station.
