How Do Home Security Systems Work?
Home security systems are widely used across the United States. While many people are familiar with burglar alarms and their purpose, they may not fully understand how these systems function. Let's delve into the workings of home security systems.
How It Works
The Circuit
Home security systems operate using a simple electric circuit. This is similar to how a light switch functions. In a burglar alarm, sensors act as switches that detect an intruder's actions, such as opening a door or window.
Types of Circuits
Closed-Circuit System: In this system, the circuit is complete when the door is closed. Electricity flows smoothly, keeping everything normal. If someone opens the door, the circuit breaks, stopping the electrical flow and triggering the alarm.
Open-Circuit System: Here, the circuit completes when the door opens, allowing electricity to flow and triggering the alarm when the circuit is completed.
Magnetic Sensors
A magnetic sensor in a closed-circuit system includes:
- A battery that powers the circuit
- A spring-driven metal switch installed in the door frame
- A magnet embedded in the door, aligned with the switch
- A buzzer powered separately, activated by a relay-driven switch
Control Box
The control box connects to multiple alarm circuits and has its own power source. Once an alarm is activated, it remains on until someone enters a security code on a connected keypad. Typically, the control box is hidden, preventing burglars from easily disabling it.
Home security systems provide peace of mind by effectively monitoring entry points and signaling unauthorized access through sound alerts, ensuring protection and safety.
