Wireless alarm devices and functions

Wireless alarm systems

Once a guard dog was enough to consider one’s home safe and discourage thieves, today it is essential to equip oneself not only with passive systemssuch as armored doors and window bars, but also a good anti-intrusion alarm system.
There are essentially two types on the market: those with wires (cable) and those wireless (radio waves), although mixed and integrated systems are not excluded and can offer perimeter or volumetric protection.

Wireless alarm

L’wireless alarm it has the particularity of using wireless technology; this allows you to transmit a signal thanks to radio waves on the 433 MHz and 868 MHz frequency bands. It is advisable to prefer systems that communicate on multiple frequencies simultaneously because they allow you to avoid disturbances to transmissions that can occur due to voluntary radio interference, deliberated by ill-intentioned people.

Users are increasingly oriented towards purchasing wireless alarm systems because the absence of wires entails a series of advantages: for example, the installation does not require the creation of traces in the walls and all the consequent annoyances (noise, formation of debris, dust, plus the time necessary for the works).

These wireless anti-theft systems also have greater ease of configuration and reconfiguration in case of movement of the sensors, ease of use with modern digital control panels, as well as the possibility of remote control.In fact, the most advanced systems also include applications for smartphone control. In any case, the effectiveness of an alarm system is guaranteed only by correct design and installation. The material must be provided by specialized companies and consolidated, capable of releasing the certifications in accordance with European standards.

An anti-intrusion system, even wireless, is always made up of various elements:

• the alarm centercomplete with power supply and back up battery, to allow the system to function even in the absence of electricity;
• i detectorsto detect intrusion attempts;
• i alarm devices local and/or remote (sirens, telephone dialers);
• i local control devicesremote controls or keyboards
• i remote control devicesappWEB per smartphone Android e iPhone/iPad.

Central to wireless home burglar alarm systems

The central of the wireless burglar alarm is the heart of the system, because it is where the signals from the detectors arrive and the devices are activated from it in the presence of an alarm situation.
This is an ABS plastic casing, containing the electronics, the reserve battery and possibly, in the more dated models, a control device, consisting of a keyboard through which the orders to activate and deactivate the alarm are given.

This device can also contain a anti-robbery code useful when, for example, the robber forcibly forces the homeowner to deactivate the burglar alarm. In this case, typing it sends silent alarm signals through the telephone dialer.

There are different types of control panel, but the fundamental requirements are the following:

• each detector must correspond to one single zone of the control unit so as to exclude, in the event of a fault, only part of the system;
• the operations of arming and disarming of the system must be simple and the indications clear;
• the control unit must be equipped with one accumulator battery which allows a certain autonomy of the system even in the absence of electricity.

It is also possible to connect to the control unit other detectors which have nothing to do with defense against intrusions, such as a gas detector to prevent escapes or a flood detector, useful near dishwashers and washing machines.

Detectors in a wireless alarm system

I detectors in a wireless home alarm system, they are those devices capable of recognizing the presence of an intruder in a protected area.

Over time they have become increasingly sophisticated, in order to distinguish the entry of an intruder from factors such as the presence of pets, falling leaves or drafts, and thus avoid false alarms.

There are different types of detectors on the market:

– those to detect the presence of a person, functioning a microwave oa ultrasound;

– those to detect the heat of the person’s body, functioning through infrared;

– those said punctualequipped with magnetic contacts to detect unauthorized opening of doors and windows.

Over the years, detectors have also become widespread dual technologywhich contain sensors with different technologies in the same unit, for example microwave and infrared, or ultrasound and infrared.

This activates one AND type function which allows the alarm to sound only when both sensors detect a presence, thus avoiding many false alarms.

Wireless home alarm devices

The main function of anti-intrusion systems is alarm signalling.
Thus, once the information has been received from the detectors and reported to the control unit, it memorizes it and activates the signaling devices.

The most common system for reporting the alarm is to use hearing deviceslike mermaids. Given their low cost, it is advisable to provide more than one, in order to guarantee continuity of operation in the event that one is deactivated. They are usually also equipped with a flasher which allows you to easily locate the affected house.

Antifurto365 wireless alarms: the siren

It is advisable to combine the siren with a telephone dialer capable of activating a alarm message pre-recorded, through a normal switched telephone line. The message is sent to the telephone numbers set during installation, to trusted people or to the local law enforcement station: Carabinieri or Police.

The connection to law enforcement is a free service and guarantees prompt intervention thanks to the widespread presence of the numerous Carabinieri and Police stations throughout the area.

Local control devices for wireless home burglar alarms

They are used near your alarm system to activate and deactivate it; the most common control device is the radio remote control or the keypad which allows deactivation after entering a password.

A modern and practical solution are also the electronic keys without wires or batteries!
