www.convergencetechnologycenter.org DUE 402356 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
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org Home Security Intrusion detection Fire detection Smoke detection Installation New Retrofit Options Wired Wireless
3
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org 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
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org Zone Multiple windows or doors = zone Zone 1 Dining room Living room Zone 2 Master bedroom Zone 3 Front door Back door
5
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org 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
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org Zones Every circuit = zone = 1 device Room 2 door sensors 2 passive infrared receivers = total of 4 security zones
7
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org 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
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org 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
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org Fire Systems Advance security systems Smoke detectors Carbon monoxide detectors Detects Fire Smoke Heat Components Fire alarms Smoke detectors Heat sensors
10
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org 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
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org Smoke Detectors Power Batteries A year without changing If hear short beeps > change batteries AC If power fails Alarm fails
12
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org 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
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org 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
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org 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
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org 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
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org Wireless Systems Easy to install and use Portable No wires Low installation cost
17
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org 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
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org 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
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org 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
www.convergencetechnologycenter.org 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
