Security systems today offer you a wide range of detection devices. Various devices can detect glass breaking, motion, sound, smoke, fire, gas, water, and more. Glass break detectors can either 'hear' or 'feel' when glass breaks and send a signal to the control panel. Motion sensors can use infrared sensors to monitor movement in the range of its zones. Sound sensors can also be used to hear when windows are broken. You can add detectors that monitor gas or water leaks as well as those that can tell you if carbon monoxide gas is present. Low temperature detectors can alert your system if your heating system fails. This can prevent damage if your pipes freeze. Smoke detectors sense the presence of smoke, while fire detectors can trigger your system if they sense an increase in temperature. For more information on the different types of detection you can add to your home security system, contact an alarm company in your area.
