Intrusion Detection System



An intrusion detection system is an electronic security solution that notifies the property owner or the security guards on duty when an unauthorised entry into a home, office, factory, warehouse, etc. is detected. The Intrusion Detection System is made up of numerous sensors and other electronic parts that work together to offer unmatched security around-the-clock. The entire system serves as a barrier against intruders and gives early alerts in the event of an incursion attempt.

Components :

  • Control Panel – Control Panel is the most important component of an Intrusion Detection System. It is the main panel with which all other components are connected through wires or without wires. Control Panel acts as the brain of the whole Security system continuously receiving signals from all the components.

  • Motion Detectors – Motion Detectors are the essential part of an Intrusion Detection System that work on the principle of detecting objects with the help of waves they emit. On the basis of waves emission, Motion Detectors are of two types:

i) Active ii) Passive

  • Cameras – Cameras are integrated with an Intrusion Detection System which get activated and start recording when triggered by the Security system.

  • Siren – Siren is the alarm that goes off and alerts the owner or Security Personnel about the intrusion attempt being made.

Intrusion Detection System Working :

An intrusion detection system technically consists of a low voltage electrical circuit with sensors placed throughout the secured property. A device's sensor detects a stoppage in the flow of electricity when an obstruction enters its field of view and sends an electric signal to the Control Panel.

The procedures that an intrusion detection system follows are:

  1. Any security device's sensor activates in response to an intrusion activity, sending a warning signal to the Control Panel that is wired or wirelessly connected to it.
  2. Control Panel responds to a warning signal from a specific device by taking the appropriate action according to the device's preprogrammed settings.

The Control Panel will activate the siren if the gadget is programmed to do so. The Control Panel will take action if the device is programmed to signal a phone, and if the integrated CCTV needs to be triggered, the Control Panel will turn on the CCTV to record the activities.

Perimeter Protection

  Perimeter is the outer boundary of a premises which has the main entry and exit to the entire area which it encloses. The enclosed premises can be a home, industry, bank, warehouse, defence cantonment, etc, which are accessible only after crossing the first point of admission that is the perimeter. What is Perimeter Protection? The Perimeter of any premises is the first and foremost critical layer of security and needs to be protected. Every theft or sabotage starts from this point only and hence protecting it becomes the most important as well as the most difficult part of the Security System. Read More

Security Alarm Systems
