Probably, no one is a secretthe fact that lovers of other people's livelihood meet (and meet) always and everywhere in huge quantities. But modern technologies have moved so far forward that an attacker, even if he knows a thousand ways to penetrate private property, will be difficult to implement his plan. This is due to the fact that in recent years there have been complex protective solutions that combine a lot of opportunities. This is the security system for a private house, office, bank, enterprise, etc. Consider the most basic aspects related to the operation of such devices.
So, what is such a system?Here it is necessary to clearly distinguish the complexity of combining the aggregate management components, the ability to track uninvited guests, types of alerts, as well as options for connecting equipment.
To date, there are three main types of such systems:
Let's briefly dwell on each type. But first a few words about the equipment used.
If you understand, any security system forprivate house, office or enterprise, depending on the degree of complexity and the functions assigned to it, must include several mandatory components: a visual surveillance system or the use of motion sensors, an alert system when attempting an illegal intrusion (sound or light alarm, instant sending SMS- messages to the owner of the house or office), the possibility of blocking the attacker if it has already penetrated into the premises, a central control panel and an uninterruptible power supply in the event of a power outage electricity.
It goes without saying that in the simplest case, for the most part, only motion sensors are installed. Among their types are the following:
Perhaps today the "Smart House" systems arethe best. With their integrated installation, this includes not only a primitive alarm for a private house. In this case, several systems are combined into one. That is, the security function is combined with autonomous control of all devices in the house or cottage.
Again, depending on the complexity, suchsystems can have video cameras, motion sensors, and controls for gas or water appliances, and use different methods of warning when an unpleasant situation occurs. As it should be, such systems are completely autonomous, but if desired, their owners can connect them to specialized security services. After receiving the alarm signal, a special team comes to the scene to deal with the situation, and, if necessary, take appropriate measures.
The only drawback is the very high cost of the system itself, and the costs of paying for the services of the security company.
Wired security system for a private houseis the simplest and cheapest. Among the advantages of such systems, judging by the numerous responses of their owners, it can be called that in the sensors used there is no need to constantly change the batteries or charge the battery packs.
Naturally, in the event of a power outageshould be provided for the installation of a special uninterruptible power supply (the type of how it is done for computers). And it goes without saying that it is possible to combine any sensors and cameras into one system. But here everything depends on the needs of the owner of the house.
Using wires to connect oftencauses legitimate difficulties. And what if the house is repaired? After all, for laying cables, for example, in the walls, you have to redo everything, and that's costs, and considerable. That's why many actively use wireless security systems for a private home or office.
Here it is worth noting two important features.First, all sensors or IP-cameras are connected to the control unit either via Wi-Fi or at a certain radio frequency. Secondly, (why they are called GSM-systems), a SMS-message is sent to a pre-registered number or several mobile phone numbers in case of an abnormal situation or even a video image is broadcast. But such systems are much higher than wired ones.
As for all that is currently offered to the market, we can distinguish several of the most popular manufacturers, both foreign and domestic:
As many have already noticed, in the listpresented by Samsung and Kodak. Their systems are mostly focused exclusively on video surveillance using a high-resolution camera with a rotation angle of almost 360 degrees.
Separately it is necessary to tell about production Honeywell.In fact, this is not a whole system, but only the main unit (Honeywell Tuxedo Touch), through which the monitoring and surveillance, and alarms, and the functioning of heating, gas and water supply.
The products of other manufacturers are targeted at both the private consumer and whole enterprises. Among the products presented, you can find quite a lot of solutions for the types of systems.
But that's interesting.Despite the high quality of products, Western manufacturers, for example, in Russia are not very popular. The owners' feedback shows that the domestic systems in terms of operation look much more preferable. The first and most important thing is that they are designed to work in post-Soviet networks with a voltage of 220 V (and not 230 or 210 in Europe or America). In addition, such systems are not switched off at significant voltage surges (we have +/- 10-15%, in the West - +/- 5% of the nominal value).
On the other hand, the Russiandevelopers feel great in conditions of low temperatures or high humidity, although in most cases they are somewhat inferior to foreign analogues in terms of functionality, as users note.
As it is considered, one of the most interesting isan imported security system for a private house in the Vista range from Ademco. In part, it repeats the products of the Canadian firm DSC, but its main feature is the possibility of virtually unlimited addition of new equipment and unification, say, even with lawn watering systems or fire alarms.
Among foreign systems, users also mention the products of the Israeli company Visonic, which has proved itself in the work when installed in country cottages or cottage settlements.
The enterprise protection system, when compared with the private sector, is quite complex both in terms of the equipment used and in the management plan.
Proceeding from the fact that the production areacan be permanently large, the most popular are hybrid systems from such grants as AXIS COMMUNICATIONS, ASSA ABLOY, BOSCH SECURITY SYSTEMS, and others.
In some cases, their solutions implythe installation of additional repeaters to amplify the sensor signal, which allows to increase the distance between them to 500 m. In addition, there is the possibility of using not one but several control panels (control units) or special key fobs, allowing the alarm to be manually sent from anywhere, if the main system for some reason it did not work.
In general, security systems for a private home are their ownhands to do is not so difficult. That's just the essence of the matter is to select the necessary basic and related equipment and connect it correctly.
Of course, you can order services from the profilefirm, but it's easier to buy everything yourself. It will be much cheaper. With regard to the connection, then connect the devices and the control unit will be able to any person who distinguishes plus from minus.
Some craftsmen, however, try to braze the schemeindependently, but without professional equipment and fine tuning here still can not do. So it's better to buy all the appliances separately. For example, the cost of a simple system of two sensors will cost an average of 100-120 dollars, systems are slightly more difficult for a private house - already in 300-700 dollars, well, and the conversion to the complex "Smart House" can amount to tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars, so that think, whether all this is necessary, if such a system will not be fully utilized.
