Security System

An electronic system that is designed to prevent theft or intrusion and protect property and life. Security Systems may include intrusion detection, access control systems, fire alarm systems, and video surveillance systems. A monitored security system is connected to a central monitoring station who can respond to the alarm and notify the authorities.

Control Panel

The central computer or “brains” of a security system. Every sensor on the security system transmits to the control panel. A control panel can be connected with a central monitoring station to make it a monitored security system.

Alarm Event

An event triggered by an alarm device that alerts the control panel that some type of emergency has occurred. The control panel then sends signals to the Monitoring Center, where operators can respond to the event.
