Home Exterior Intrusion Detection
Perimeter protection devices are responsible for detecting intrusions. These devices perform the following functions:
- Detect an intrusion
- Locate the specific point of intrusion
- Illuminate the area (if applicable)
- Activate security cameras to focus on the area
- Display real-time video on a touchscreen in an alarm window
- Increase recording rates to maximum values
- Indicate the point of intrusion on a graphical map of the property
If the property is unoccupied, alarm information along with audio and video is relayed to a monitoring station. With the provided information, appropriate actions can be taken. For example, if a wild animal triggers an alarm, Animal Control officers may or may not be summoned. However, if a human presence is detected, authorities can be alerted and intruders may receive an audible warning, ideally discouraging them from continuing their actions.
