Home Security

Home Security




Installation



Intrusion detection
Fire detection
Smoke detection
New
Retrofit
Options


Wired
Wireless
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
Zones


Just like audio/video zones
Security System zones


Location of sensors
Important

How zones are setup



Door sensors
Window sensors
Zones important


Multiple security zones
Keeps track of alarms
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
Zone

Multiple windows or doors = zone

Zone 1



Zone 2


Dining room
Living room
Master bedroom
Zone 3


Front door
Back door
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
Zones

Zones transfer info to controllers

Status





Power Line failures
Telephone system problems
System tampering
Low batteries
Type


Wired
Wireless

Difference is how signal is transmitted
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
Zones


Every circuit = zone = 1 device
Room


2 door sensors
2 passive infrared receivers

= total of 4 security zones
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
SubZones


Another circuit
1 zone = 1 circuit = 1 device


Another circuit connects to above circuit
If subzone goes off

Controller can’t tell if zone or subzone or zone has
triggered alert
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
NC and NO

Configuration of systems

NC

Normally closed
System is armed
 Open NC area and alarm gets triggered


NO

Normally open
Area is open
 If NO closes then it triggers alarm


Fire Systems

Advance security systems



Detects




Smoke detectors
Carbon monoxide detectors
Fire
Smoke
Heat
Components



Fire alarms
Smoke detectors
Heat sensors
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
Smoke Detectors

2 Types
 Ionization chamber detector



Produces molecules charged with electricity
Smoke attach to ions
Electrical current stops


Triggers alarm
Photoelectric Chamber



Light Source
Light sensitive receiver
Alarm




Light cannot get in
Smoke can get in
Smoke scatters light inside
Scatter light produces more light
 Triggers alarm
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
Smoke Detectors

Power

Batteries



A year without changing
If hear short beeps > change batteries
AC

If power fails

Alarm fails
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
Heat Detectors



Uses metal
Metal units when heat enters air around it
Alarm goes off

For Configuration check local codes or National
electrical code. For installation check
manufacturers website
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
Video surveillance

In house

CCTV

Closed circuit Television




Set cameras in different parts of house
Video available to specific channel
Video can be recorded
 Tape
 VCR
 PVR
Internet


Connect to house and view image
Image sent to e-mail
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
Monitoring

Monitor environment



Video surveillance
Lighting for security
Use sensors

Photo cells

Turn lights on evening


Not enough light is received so it turns lights
Motion detectors

Movement received


Triggers video recording
Or turn lights on or flood lights
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
Wired Systems



Low voltage telecommunications
Connects to main alarm
 Doors
 Windows
 Sensors
Features
 Reliability


Efficiency


Alarms is always connected to central system
It works


Can run with batteries
Wired systems have always been used
Availability

Many manufacturers make them
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
Wireless Systems




Easy to install and use
Portable
No wires
Low installation cost
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
Remote Access


Manage system from anywhere
Secure security system

Not too much integration with home network


Internet

Web browser




No one else can connect to it
Login and change system configuration
Connects to home network
Access cameras
Which system to use or buy?

Not all systems allow connection from Internet
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org
