Security intrusion alarms are alarms that alert you to an intruder. Unfortunately, there are many reasons why someone may want to break into your business including theft and vandalism. Many businesses across the metro Atlanta area experience break-ins every day.

A security intrusion alarm can oftentimes act, as a deterrent to would be intruders. These alarms will also help law enforcement respond quickly in case a break in does occur. Security intrusion alarms detect when an unauthorized individual enters your building and will then notify law enforcement. Security intrusion alarms can also be paired with other security measures like security cameras and access control systems.

There are various components to a security intrusion alarm system that helps it function. These include:

  • Contact Sensors- These sensors rely on constant contact between two pieces to work. When the contact is broken, the alarm will sound. Contact sensors work well as door and window sensors.
  • Motion sensors- These sensors detect movement inside your building. Motion sensors are key for after hour’s security when no one should be in your building. If these sensors detect motion inside your building, an alarm will sound.
  • Infrared sensors- These sensors are also great for protecting your building after hours when it should be empty. Infrared sensors detect heat changes associated with a human body.
  • Sound Sensors- Similar to motion sensors and infrared sensors, sound sensors are key components for protecting your building after hours when it should be empty. Sound sensors detect sounds like talking, rummaging around of items, or breaking things.
  • Glass Break Sensors- These sensors do exactly what they say and detect breaking glass. These sensors will help detect if an intruder breaks a glass window or glass door to enter your building. Glass break sensors work by listening for the sound of breaking glass or by detecting vibrations made by someone attempting to break the glass.
  • Panic Buttons- Panic buttons are a key component to any security intrusion system. Not all break-ins happen after hours when a building is empty. A member of your staff to alert law enforcement quickly if a break in occurs can use panic buttons.
