D-BEN SECURITY SYSTEMS, INC.

For all of your low voltage needs

Security alarm systems are designed to protect you by detecting certain pre-selected conditions -- an opening door, a breaking window, a sudden rise or fall in temperature, or the presence of smoke. They can also transmit a special alarm signal to indicate the need for medical assistance or other emergency help. To fully understand security systems you must become familiar with some basic parts and functions. Sensors come in all shapes and sizes, including glass break detectors and infrared units that detect motion and/or heat. The control unit , or  " brains" receives a message from the sensors through either wireless or hardwired systems. The alarm may include anything from flashing lights to blaring sirens.
