Sensors

Sensors are vital components of physical security systems, responsible for detecting and monitoring environmental conditions or events.

Common Types of Sensors:

• Motion Sensors: Detect movement within a designated area.
• Door/Window Contacts: Monitor openings and closures of access points.
• Glass Break Sensors: Identify the sound of breaking glass.
• Smoke and Heat Detectors: Detect smoke or increased temperatures for fire alerts.
• CCTV Cameras: Video surveillance to monitor activities.
• Proximity Sensors: Detect the presence of objects or individuals for access control.
• Vibration Sensors: Identify abnormal vibrations indicating possible tampering.
• Pressure Sensors: Sense changes in pressure for various applications.
• Temperature Sensors: Monitor temperature fluctuations in sensitive areas.
• Water Leak Detectors: Identify water leaks or flooding to prevent water damage.

By strategically deploying sensors, security personnel can gather real-time data, respond swiftly to security incidents, and ensure the safety and protection of assets and individuals.
