6 Sensors on Alarm Monitoring Systems

Did you ever think how alarm monitoring systems can sense any strange in our office, car and home? There are lots ways to sense it. But in this article I will explain 6 sensors on alarm monitoring systems which working in indoor. This type not advised to be used outdoor due to its weather durability and false alarm vulnerability.


Here are 6 sensors on alarm monitoring systems:


Passive infrared detector is one of common sensor detector found in household and small business environment. The meaning of passive in here is the detector able to run its function without need to generate and radiate its energy. This detector using principal of differentiation, which can check presence or non presence, and verify an intruder or object actually in there



Ultrasonic detector transmitted 15-75 KHz as their ability to detect any motion intruder or object after receives differentiation transmition. And these technologies considered obsolete by many alarm and not advised to install. It because there must two conditions must meet to make this detector successful: 

@ There must be a motion object either toward or away from the receiver.  

@ The motion object must cause any change in the frequency to receiver.



    This device radiate microwave from transmitter and detect any reflected microwave or reduction intensity by its receiver. To reduce from false alarm, it combined with passive infrared detector.

    This device can detect the presence of intruder by transmitting visible or infrared light beams across an area. For the further application it can installed in stack of three or more where the transmitter and receiver are staggered to create a fence like barrier.

    The detector used only for internal perimeter building protection.  It can generate sound when the glass breaks and can rang from infrasonic which can heard by human ear. But it not recommended, because now burglar can cheat it using the conduct foil when they cut the glass. So the alarm can’t trigger.

    Most system always equipped by this sensor. These known as 24 hour zones. Smoke and heat detector protect from risk of fire and carbon monoxide detector protect from the risk of carbon monoxide.


    There are 6 sensors alarm monitoring system most used around the world. So if you want to take some alarm at your house, you can take this reference.
