SECURITY SYSTEMS

THE MOST BASIC DEFINITION OF ANY SECURITY SYSTEM IS FOUND IN ITS NAME. IT IS LITERALLY A
MEANS OR METHOD BY WHICH SOMETHING IS SECURED THROUGH A SYSTEM OF INTERWORKING
COMPONENTS AND DEVICES.
IN THIS INSTANCE, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HOME SECURITY SYSTEMS, WHICH ARE NETWORKS OF
INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC DEVICES WORKING TOGETHER WITH A CENTRAL CONTROL PANEL TO
PROTECT AGAINST BURGLARS AND OTHER POTENTIAL HOME INTRUDERS.

TYPICAL HOME SECURITY SYSTEM INCLUDES:

• A CONTROL PANEL, WHICH IS THE PRIMARY CONTROLLER OF A HOME’S SECURITY SYSTEM.
• DOOR AND WINDOW SENSORS.
• MOTION SENSORS, BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR.
• WIRED OR WIRELESS SECURITY CAMERAS.
• A HIGH-DECIBEL SIREN OR ALARM.
• A YARD SIGN AND WINDOW STICKERS.
TOMATION - SECURITY AUTOMATION
AUTOMATION - SECURITY AUTOMATION IS THE AUTOMATIC HANDLING OF A TASK IN A MACHINE-
BASED SECURITY APPLICATION THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE DONE MANUALLY BY A SECURITY
PROFESSIONAL.
A MORE ROBUST DEFINITION OF SECURITY AUTOMATION REFERS TO THE USE OF AUTOMATIC
SYSTEMS TO DETECT AND PREVENT CYBER THREATS, WHILE CONTRIBUTING TO THE OVERALL THREAT
INTELLIGENCE OF AN ORGANIZATION IN ORDER TO PLAN AND DEFEND AGAINST FUTURE ATTACKS.

URITY IN BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEMS

BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEMS ARE TRADITIONALLY CONCERNED WITH THE CONTROL OF
HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING, AS WELL AS LIGHTING AND SHADING, SYSTEMS.
THEY HAVE THEIR ORIGIN IN A TIME WHERE SECURITY HAS BEEN CONSIDERED AS A SIDE ISSUE AT
BEST.
W DOES A SECURITY SYSTEM WORK?
HOME SECURITY SYSTEMS WORK ON THE SIMPLE CONCEPT OF SECURING ENTRY POINTS INTO A
HOME WITH SENSORS THAT COMMUNICATE WITH A CONTROL PANEL OR COMMAND CENTER
INSTALLED IN A CONVENIENT LOCATION SOMEWHERE IN THE HOME.
THE SENSORS ARE TYPICALLY PLACED IN DOORS THAT LEAD TO AND FROM A HOUSE AS WELL AS
EASILY ACCESSIBLE WINDOWS, PARTICULARLY ANY THAT OPEN, ESPECIALLY THOSE AT GROUND
LEVEL. OPEN SPACES INSIDE OF HOMES CAN BE SECURED WITH MOTION SENSORS.
DESIRED SPACES
• ENTRY/EXIT (MAIN GATES, GUARD • FLOORS (CORRIDORS, STAIRS, FLATS-
ROOMS ETC) ENTRY/LIVING/KITCHEN/BEDROOMS)
• PARKING • TERRACES
• PARKS/YARDS (CHILDREN PARKS) • OFFICE AREAS OF THE SOCEITY
• POOL • SERVICES (FIRE, WATER MANAGEMENT,
HVAC, ESS)
• CLUB HOUSE
• OTHER ENTRANCES TO THE BUILDING
• LIFTS/LIFT LOBBY
 SECURITY AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS
• HAVING A FULLY INTEGRATED BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM IS AN INVALUABLE TOOL IN
MANAGING A BUSINESS, WHETHER OPERATING A SINGLE SITE OR MANAGING MULTIPLE
BUILDINGS ACROSS SEVERAL LOCATIONS.
• NEGLECTING TO TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO IMPLEMENT A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE SECURITY
STRATEGY PUTS YOUR ENTIRE BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AT RISK.
• BY IMPLEMENTING SECURITY MEASURES SUCH AS BUILDING ACCESS AND ELEVATOR ACCESS
CONTROL, CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION (CCTV) AND CCTV RECORDING SOLUTIONS, YOU CAN
REDUCE RISK AND PREVENT LOSS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND INFORMATION.
• IF YOU HAVE A SINGLE SITE OR MULTIPLE SITES, SECURITY CAN BE MONITORED AND
CONTROLLED FROM ONE CENTRALIZED LOCATION.
• VIDEO ANALYTICS CAN HELP SPOT BEHAVIOR THAT IS OUT OF PLACE AND DIGITAL RECORDERS
ARE EMPLOYED TO MONITOR SECURITY SENSITIVE AREAS.
• ACC CAN HELP YOUR BUSINESS DEVICE AND IMPLEMENT SECURITY SOLUTIONS FOR ALL YOUR
BUILDING AUTOMATION NEEDS.

SENSORS
NOT ALL THE THINGS THAT THREATEN YOUR HOME OR FAMILY INVOLVE SOMEONE TRYING TO BREAK
INTO YOUR HOME. THE THREAT OF FIRE, CO2, AND FREEZING, CAN CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS.
LUCKILY, MOST HOME SECURITY SYSTEMS HAVE ADDITIONAL SENSORS THAT CAN BE ADDED TO HELP
KEEP AN EYE ON THESE KINDS OF THREATS. 

• SMOKE SENSOR
• HEAT SENSOR
• CO2 SENSOR
• FREEZE SSECURITY SYSTEM THREAT DETECTION SENSORS
• ENSOR
• FLOOD SENSOR
CONTROLLING AUTOMATIOM DEVICES-
PUT SIMPLY, HOME AUTOMATION DESCRIBES A SYSTEM
OF NETWORKED, CONTROLLABLE DEVICES THAT WORK
TOGETHER TO MAKE YOUR HOME MORE COMFORTABLE,
CUSTOMIZED, EFFICIENT, AND SECURE. THE RANGE OF
CONTROLS THAT YOU HAVE OVER YOUR AUTOMATED
DEVICES RANGE DEPENDING ON THE PURA HOME
AUTOMATION SYSTEM WILL CONTROL LIGHTING,
CLIMATE, ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS, AND APPLIANCES.
IT MAY ALSO INCLUDE HOME SECURITY SUCH AS ACCESS
CONTROL AND ALARM SYSTEMS. WHEN CONNECTED
WITH THE INTERNET, HOME DEVICES ARE AN
IMPORTANT CONSTITUENT OF THE INTERNET OF
THINGS.POSE OF THE DEVICE.

WHERE ACCESS CONTROL IS REQUIRED TO ENSURE THAT ONLY AUTHORIZED
PERSONNEL CAN ACCESS THE PREMISES.
• HIGH EFFICIENCY
• TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION
• LOW MAINTENANCE COST
CAR NUMBER PLATE RECOGNITION
SYSTEM
AUTOMATIC NUMBER PLATE RECOGNITION (ANPR) IS THE ABILITY TO AUTOMATICALLY
RECOGNIZE THE SYMBOLS CONTAINED IN THE NUMBER PLATES OF A MOTOR VEHICLE WHEN READ
FROM AN IMAGE PROVIDED BY VIDEO SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS FOR THE PURPOSES OF FURTHER
PROCESSING BY A SECURITY SYSTEM
AUTOMATED PARKING SYSTEM
AN AUTOMATED PARKING SYSTEM IS A
MECHANICAL SYSTEM DESIGNED TO MINIMIZE THE
AREA AND/OR VOLUME REQUIRED AND TO
PROVIDE SECURITY FOR PARKING CARS. LIKE A
MULTI-STORY PARKING GARAGE, AN APS PROVIDES
PARKING FOR CARS ON MULTIPLE LEVELS STACKED
VERTICALLY.
AUTOMATIC GLASS SLIDING
DOORS
• GLASS SLIDING DOORS ARE TOTALLY AUTOMATIC AND USED FOR FREQUENT OPENING
AND CLOSING. THE OPERATION TIMING OF THESE DOORS CAN BE EASILY SET OR RESET
FOR THAT MATTER. EVEN THE MAINTENANCE OF THESE DOORS IS NOT AT ALL A BIG
DEAL. WITH VERY EASY AND EFFICIENT OPERATION GLASS SLIDING DOORS ARE INDEED
A GREAT CUSTOMIZED SOLUTION IN THE ENTRANCE DOOR AUTOMATION SYSTEM.
ELEVATOR CARD ACCESS SYSTEM
ELEVATOR CARD ACCESS SYSTEM PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE WHEN COMES TO BUILDING
SECURITY. IN THE LIFT CAR, A CARD READER IS DEPLOY TO SCREEN THROUGH ALL ACCESS
CARD. THE READER PERFORM TWO TASK IN THE LIFT CARD. FIRST IT WILL DENIED AN
UNAUTHORISED CARDHOLDER FROM PRESSING THE LIFT LEVEL BUTTON, BY DISABLE ALL
LEVEL BUTTON. SECOND IT WILL TURN ON ONLY THE AUTHORISED FLOOR BUTTON

ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM (ACS) IS
INTENDED TO SECURE SANCTIONED ACCESS
TO AN ENCLOSED AREA AND TO KEEP RECORD
OF TIME.
 VIDEO DOOR PHONE
 HANDS-FREE COLOR INTERNAL UNITS WITH FLAT TO FLAT INTERCOM.
 PICTURE STORAGE CAPACITY
 VIDEO DOOR PHONE (VDP) TO ALLOW THE KNOWN PERSON IN.
 CONTROL DIGITAL DOOR LOCK THROUGH VDP
 MULTI VDP ALLOWS YOU TO TALK TO OTHER FLAT OWNERS (INTERCOM CALLS / EPABX

 SECURITY PHONE, ALLOWS YOU TO SEE THE VISITOR AT ENTRANCE AND ALLOW INSIDE THE
TOWER.
 VIEW SELECTED COMMON AREA CAMERAS IN HANDS FREE COLOR VDP
 TWO WAY AUDIO & ONE WAY VIDEO.
 DOOR AND WINDOW SENSORS:
 DOOR AND WINDOW SENSORS ARE COMPRISED OF TWO PARTS INSTALLED ADJACENT TO EACH
OTHER. ONE PART OF THE DEVICE IS INSTALLED ON THE DOOR OR WINDOW AND THE OTHER ON
THE DOOR FRAME OR WINDOW SILL. WHEN A DOOR OR WINDOW IS CLOSED, THE TWO PARTS OF
THE SENSOR ARE JOINED TOGETHER, CREATING A SECURITY CIRCUIT.
WHEN THE SECURITY SYSTEM IS ARMED AT THE CONTROL PANEL, THESE SENSORS COMMUNICATE
WITH IT BY REPORTING THAT THE POINT OF ENTRY IS SECURE. SHOULD A MONITORED DOOR OR
WINDOW SUDDENLY BE OPENED, THE SECURITY CIRCUIT IS BROKEN AND THE CONTROL PANEL
INTERPRETS THIS AS A BREACH OF A SECURED ZONE. A HIGH-DECIBEL ALARM IS SOUNDED AND IN
MOST INSTANCES THE ALARM MONITORING COMPANY IS AUTOMATICALLY NOTIFIED.
 SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS : 
AVAILABLE IN BOTH WIRED AND WIRELESS CONFIGURATIONS, SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS CAN BE USED
IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS AS PART OF AN OVERALL SECURITY SYSTEM.
TYPICAL USES INCLUDE MONITORING:
• HARD TO SEE OR DISTANT AREAS OF YOUR PROPERTY
• REMOTE BUILDINGS LIKE GARAGES, BARNS, AND WORKSHOPS
• ENTRY POINTS, BOTH EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR, LIKE GARAGE
DOORS AND FRONT DOORS SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS CAN BE
ACCESSED REMOTELY ON COMPUTERS, SMARTPHONES, AND
TABLETS. THEY ARE OFTEN USED IN THIS METHOD WHEN
HOMEOWNERS ARE OUT OF TOWN, TO WATCH FOR DELIVERIES
AND OTHER SERVICE PERSONNEL LIKE CAREGIVERS AND
LANDSCAPERS,nAND TO MONITOR THE ARRIVAL OF CHILDREN
AFTER SCHOOL. THEY CAN ALSO BE USED TO RECORD ANY
SECURITY BREACHES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN HAVING FOOTAGE
OF A HOME INVASION, INCLUDING A GOOD LOOK AT THE
BURGLARS AND PERHAPS EVEN THE VEHICLE THEY DROVE.
 MOTION SENSORS
THESE SECURITY COMPONENTS, WHEN ARMED, PROTECT A GIVEN SPACE BY CREATING AN INVISIBLE
ZONE THAT CANNOT BE BREACHED WITHOUT SOUNDING AN ALARM. THESE ARE TYPICALLY USED TO
PROTECT ROOMS CONTAINING VALUABLES, AS WELL AS AREAS LESS FREQUENTED IN LARGER
HOMES.
 HIGH-DECIBEL ALARM: 
LOUD ENOUGH FOR NEIGHBORS TO HEAR,
HOME SECURITY ALARMS SERVE A FEW
DIFFERENT PURPOSES. FIRST, THEY ALERT THE
PEOPLE INSIDE THE HOUSE THAT A PROBLEM
OCCURRED. THEY’RE ALSO SHRILL ENOUGH TO
SEND A BURGLAR RUNNING WHILE ALSO
NOTIFYING NEARBY NEIGHBORS TO THE
SITUATION.
 GLASS BREAK DETECTOR
GLASS BREAK DETECTORS ARE USUALLY INSTALLED NEAR GLASS DOORS OR A WINDOW FRONT
OF A STORE. THIS EQUIPMENT USES A MICROPHONE TO DETECT WHEN A PANE OF GLASS IS
BROKEN OR SHATTERED. BY MONITORING THE SOUND AND VIBRATIONS THE ALARM ONLY
REACTS TO SOUNDS ABOVE A CERTAIN THRESHOLD TO AVOID FALSE ALARMS.
 INDOOR / OUTDOOR
SENSORS
STATE-OF-THE-ART SENSORS DETECT MOVEMENT
INDOORS AND OUTDOORS, LISTEN FOR THE SOUND OF
BREAKING GLASS TO GUARD AGAINST INTRUDERS,
PROTECT VALUABLES AND MORE. THEY ENHANCE THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM AND
PROVIDE YOU WITH THE COMPLETE, WHOLE-HOUSE
PROTECTION YOU NEED. YOU CAN ALSO OPT TO RECEIVE
ALERTS ON YOUR SMARTPHONE IF MOTION IS SENSED IN
A PROTECTED AREA INSIDE OR OUTSIDE - GIVING YOU
THE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO ACT QUICKLY.
 ENVIRONMENTAL
SENSORS
IDEAL FOR KITCHENS AND BATHROOMS, LAUNDRY ROOMS
AND BASEMENTS, THESE DETECTORS CAN NOTIFY YOU
WHEN DETECTING FLOODS, LEAKS AND EXTREME
TEMPERATURES—HELPING TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF
DANGEROUS CONDITIONS AND DAMAGES TO YOUR HOME
AND VALUABLES.
YARD SIGN AND WINDOW STICKERS:
 
ON THE SURFACE, THESE ITEMS MIGHT SEEM LIKE NOTHING MORE THAN MARKETING TOOLS FOR
ALARM COMPANIES, BUT THEY PLAY IMPORTANT ROLES IN HOME SECURITY. WHEN YOU PLACE A
SECURITY COMPANY’S STICKER IN A FRONT WINDOW AND PLANT THEIR SIGN IN YOUR FRONT YARD,
YOU ARE TELLING BURGLARS YOU HOME IS PROFESSIONALLY PROTECTED AND NOT A WISE CHOICE
FOR AN ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. THEY ARE EFFECTIVE AT CONVEYING THIS MESSAGE AND SHOULD BE
USED AS RECOMMENDED BY THE SECURITY COMPANY.
CONTROL PANEL :
THE CONTROL PANEL IS THE COMPUTER THAT ARMS AND DISARMS THE SECURITY SYSTEMS,
COMMUNICATES WITH EACH INSTALLED COMPONENT, SOUNDS THE ALARM WHEN A SECURITY ZONE
IS BREACHED, AND COMMUNICATES WITH AN ALARM MONITORING COMPANY.
THEY TYPICALLY FEATURE A TOUCHPAD FOR EASY PROGRAMMING AND INTERACTION, IS WHERE
PASS CODES ARE ENTERED TO ARM AND DISARM THE SYSTEM, CAN WORK ON VOICE COMMANDS,
AND CAN BE PROGRAMMED TO WORK WITH WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROLS CALLED KEY FOBS.
