People interested in security should be aware of the abbreviation of monitoring station. The decoding is simple: centralized monitoring console. This guarding method is the most reliable as it transmits alarms accurately.
CMS is required for various objects. Deciphering the concept, although simple, this method of protection includes various technical means, an organized group of employees. Security is ensured with a quick alarm response.
How does the system work?
For security in a house, apartment or office, you can install a monitoring station. The interpretation of this term is in any case the same. When an alarm occurs, it goes to the security console. This fact is recorded in the database and then transferred to the responsible person.
The operator of the monitoring station transmits information about the alarm to the detention group. The employee must say the address of the object and its description. All statements must be accurate. The group arrives at the indicated place, blocks the object, detains the criminals.
Guard structure
The central monitoring station has a structure in which each employee performs a specific job. The uninterrupted activity of the PTSN company depends on this. Deciphering this term includes the following structures:
- equipment connected to communicate with objects;
- operators - employees who transmit the necessary information to the response team;
- detention team - professionals leaving for the signal site;
- technical staff are responsible for the smooth operation of the console, security, equipment;
- managers sign contracts with clients;
- accounting;
- manual.
Each centralized security post has exactly this structure. To protect your object, you must conclude an agreement with the company. It will be much easier if the bandits are de alt with by professionals.
Choose a security company
To choose the right company to protect your property, you must adhere to the following rules:
- important to know the number of detention groups;
- should take into account the time of arrival of employees at the facility;
- need to find out about the term of the company, as well as the number of protected buildings;
- you can choose a company based on feedback from friends;
- need to know about the cost as the price should match the statistics of the region.
The security console is considered a complex structure, on the work of which dependsthe safety of people and the safety of property. Therefore, the choice of the company should be treated carefully.
Automated systems
Security equipment is presented in the form of several mechanisms that perform the function of protecting people and property. The degree of security of the complex depends on this. In homes, it is usually installed:
- burglar alarm;
- video surveillance;
- access control systems.
If the alarm system is used, then you can monitor all the premises. Security equipment can be wired or wireless. The second option is considered more convenient, since no connecting cables are required.
The installed equipment provides the right to control not only the situation inside the premises, but also the territory. If you conclude an agreement with the company, then there is a centralized security console. When the alarm is signaled, the detention group leaves.
CCTV systems cost more than alarms. But in order to get a full-scale security system, you need to install both subsystems. Access control equipment includes audio and video intercoms. This equipment is equipped with electromechanical locks controlled remotely. This element is not considered mandatory, so it is mounted at the request of the owner.
What does the system consist of?
Security equipment includes important technical elements to ensure security. These include:
- control panel with whichintrusion alarms: this equipment must be installed by specialists so that there are no further difficulties with work;
- sensors, which are of different types depending on the purpose: along with signaling systems, fire protection should be installed;
- alarm devices, presented in the form of sound devices, light signals, and the alarm is also notified to the phone.
Thanks to the operation of these systems, the safety of premises and people is ensured. If any system is out of order, it is necessary to repair the equipment. Only specialists should be trusted with this work.
Installing an alarm
To ensure security, many homes are equipped with alarms. Now many different devices are sold, differing in types, manufacturer and cost. Installation of equipment must be carried out by specialists in the presence of the owner.
Before the installation of the system, the house is inspected and documentation is drawn up. If the room meets the technical requirements, then it is possible to install equipment in it. The main elements of the alarm are sensors. They are different, but the most common is the system of opening the door, breaking glass, smoke, gas and flooding.
Professionals will place the device in the right place, which will ensure the efficient operation of the equipment. Wired systems are cheaper, only the long-term installation of cables is considered a minus. But for suburban real estate, this option is consideredthe most suitable. Wireless systems are used in the company's follow-up service.
How does the alarm work?
All alarms have alarm transmission functions. There are several options for performing this action:
- by radio channel;
- on GSM;
- by phone line;
- via satellite channel.
There is a range limitation with the radio channel. The distance over which the signal can propagate is no more than 5 km. This notification method is used when a security company is located near the object.
The GSM method is considered the most convenient. The equipment must have a special module where there is a SIM card. The system captures phone numbers, as well as the text of the alarm. When someone penetrates the object, a message is sent to the specified data. Notification can come to several numbers. Some systems have a call feature.
Alert on the telephone line occurs only if it is in the guarded house. Then the control panel is connected to it. Transmission distance may vary.
Even with a large number of notification methods, experts advise installing equipment that transmits data to a centralized console. In this case, all the work will be done by specialists.
