Commercial Security Systems in NYC 

The basic composition of a security system

A general security system comprises of the following components:

• A controller or control panel that is programmed to manage the entire system
• Sensors put on windows and doors
• Motion sensors put both inside and outside 
• Security cameras, both wired and wireless
• A loud and effective alarm system 

The working process

The control panel as the name suggests is the main controller of the entire system. It is a computer that communicates with all of its components and performs the necessary action needed. It monitors the entire house or building and orders each component how and when to perform a particular task, to arm or disarm etc. If the control panel fails or is not efficient enough, there is no use of the cameras, sensors, and alarms working properly. 

Sensors are basically used to sense movement. The sensors put on the doors and windows will catch if they were tried to be opened from outside when the security system was on. If a window or door is suddenly or forcefully opened by the intruder, the circuit will break and trigger the siren or alarm, alarming every one of the situation. 

Motion sensors are the advanced version of the above sensors. They are used in places that contain the most valuable and expensive things. They keep the place secure by creating an invisible zone that looks out for any suspecting human movement during odd hours or whenever an unauthorized person enters the premises. It will trigger an alarm and notify us.

Cameras are necessary for a security system. They are used to record and monitor everything that is going on that a human cannot possibly do. Cameras send out live information to the control rooms and record data for authorities to watch later in case of a break-in or burglary. They also note distant areas from the property that are hard to see in case the burglar ran or covered his face. The entries and exits too are supposed to be monitored by the surveillance cameras. The cameras can be controlled, switched on and off and moved from anywhere with the help of computers and smartphones. So, you can easily have an access to your workplace when you are out and look for anything fishy.

Alarms are used to notify you and the monitoring company of a possible burglary or intrusion. They should be loud and effective in case you are sleeping. And if you are not home they should be loud enough for your neighbors to hear and come running for help. In most of the cases, a loud alarm is enough to scare the intruder away as most of them are amateurs and do not know their way around. 

Lastly, you should put on stickers and yard signs from us at TR Alarm Systems Inc. You might think that it is of no importance but by doing so, you are sending out a message that your property is protected and secure and can land anyone who tries to intrude in deep trouble.
