The Technology Behind Home Alarm Systems

July 2, 2011

Many people are afraid of home intrusions, and invest in a residential alarm system. However, many homeowners who install security systems without the help of a security agency do not understand exactly how they operate. Understanding how security systems work can help prevent false alarms and instill you with a better sense of security.

Security systems will often have two kinds of responses once they have been triggered. They can either emit loud noise and flashing lights in order to scare off the intruder, or they have silent systems that alert the homeowner, the security agency, and the proper authorities once the alarm has been tripped. Some home alarms systems have both of these response systems.

Most security systems start with the main exit and entrance of any home: the door.

The simplest door alarms often consist of two pieces of a circuit connected to both the door and the frame that make a complete electrical circuit when closed. Once the door opens, while the system has been activated, the alarm trips and the system either sets off loud noises and lights to frighten off would be burglars or calls the homeowner, security company, or the police.

Top 10 Green Things to Do! When building your new home.

Top 10 Green Things to Do! When building your new home.

In my real job (non-blogging) I am finding that more and more people are interested in building a more environmentally responsible and healthy home.  Leaving political discussions and arguments about “climate change” behind (I don’t like being preached to and I don’t like preaching), I believe there are many common sense reasons to build a “Green” home.  Here are two pretty good ones:

Save you money $ $ $ in the long run
Reduce your stress level – improve your quality of life

If you want to build a Green Home there is an abundant amount of information available to you.  But start investigating Green and you begin to realize there can be a daunting number of decisions to make – and they all impact your construction budget in some way.  Building Green can start to look incredibly complicated and expensive – and neither of these notions is inherently “Green”. Well it doesn’t have to work that way.

So what I want to do, starting with this posting is to help you simplify things.  I am starting out with a top 10 list of green things to do.  This will give us some focus for more detailed discussions to follow.  Those discussions will provide more detail on my top 10 list.  So here goes.
