  1. Security and Fire Alarm Systems LEARNING OUTCOME 7B Describe design overview and location considerations for home security and fire alarm systems. Outcome addresses learning outcomes 1-4 for these specific technologies.

  2. Home Security • Home Security • Intrusion detection • Fire detection • Smoke detection • Installation • New • Retrofit • Options • Wired • Wireless

  3. Zones • Just like audio/video zones • Security System zones • Location of sensors • Important • How zones are setup • Door sensors • Window sensors • Zones important • Multiple security zones • Keeps track of alarms

  4. Zone • Multiple windows or doors = zone • Zone 1 • Dining room • Living room • Zone 2 • Master bedroom • Zone 3 • Front door • Back door

  5. Zones • Zones transfer info to controllers • Status • Power Line failures • Telephone system problems • System tampering • Low batteries • Type • Wired • Wireless • Difference is how signal is transmitted

  6. Zones • Every circuit = zone = 1 device • Room • 2 door sensors • 2 passive infrared receivers • = total of 4 security zones

  7. SubZones • Another circuit • 1 zone = 1 circuit = 1 device • Another circuit connects to above circuit • If subzone goes off • Controller can’t tell if zone or subzone or zone has triggered alert

  8. NC and NO • Configuration of systems • NC • Normally closed • System is armed • Open NC area and alarm gets triggered • NO • Normally open • Area is open • If NO closes then it triggers alarm

  9. Fire Systems • Advance security systems • Smoke detectors • Carbon monoxide detectors • Detects • Fire • Smoke • Heat • Components • Fire alarms • Smoke detectors • Heat sensors

  10. Smoke Detectors • 2 Types • Ionization chamber detector • Produces molecules charged with electricity • Smoke attach to ions • Electrical current stops • Triggers alarm • Photoelectric Chamber • Light Source • Light sensitive receiver • Alarm • Light cannot get in • Smoke can get in • Smoke scatters light inside • Scatter light produces more light • Triggers alarm

  11. Smoke Detectors • Power • Batteries • A year without changing • If hear short beeps > change batteries • AC • If power fails • Alarm fails

  12. Heat Detectors • Uses metal • Metal units when heat enters air around it • Alarm goes off • For Configuration check local codes or National electrical code. For installation check manufacturers website

  13. Video surveillance • In house • CCTV • Closed circuit Television • Set cameras in different parts of house • Video available to specific channel • Video can be recorded • Tape • VCR • PVR • Internet • Connect to house and view image • Image sent to e-mail

  14. Monitoring • Monitor environment • Video surveillance • Lighting for security • Use sensors • Photo cells • Turn lights on evening • Not enough light is received so it turns lights • Motion detectors • Movement received • Triggers video recording • Or turn lights on or flood lights

  15. Wired Systems • Low voltage telecommunications • Connects to main alarm • Doors • Windows • Sensors • Features • Reliability • Can run with batteries • Efficiency • Alarms is always connected to central system • It works • Wired systems have always been used • Availability • Many manufacturers make them

  16. Wireless Systems • Easy to install and use • Portable • No wires • Low installation cost

  17. Remote Access • Manage system from anywhere • Secure security system • Not too much integration with home network • No one else can connect to it • Internet • Web browser • Login and change system configuration • Connects to home network • Access cameras • Which system to use or buy? • Not all systems allow connection from Internet

  18. Components • Security control Panel • Center of security • Interface with home network is important • Controls everything • Sensors • Keypads • Working Devices • Security Cameras • CCTV • Important factors • Resolution • Sensitivity • Monitor and Switches • Switches used with multiple cameras • Changes picture from one camera to another

  19. Components • Keypads • Interface with security system • Arm/disarm system • Change state of system • Zone that has triggered alarm appears in keypad • # number = 22 = zone 22 etc.

  20. Sensors • 2 common sensors • PIR • Passive Infrared Sensors (Motion sensors) • Smoke detectors • Types • Contact sensors • Glass break sensors • Detects sounds • Motion sensor • Flood sensor • In basements • Carbon monoxide - CO
