Burglar Alarm Systems

Posts Tagged ‘Design’

I would like to design a homemade burglar alarm system. Whenever somebody touches the grill installed on the outside of my window or event the air conditioner cover, it should trigger an alarm. I would like to activate this during night times and when we are out, so that we can stop burglar from getting in.

My failed attempt included a small battery, copper wires, and a bulb (later replaced by car horns). I connected one end of the battery to the bulb and other end was grounded. The other end of the bulb was wired to the grill. But, it doesn’t like my idea and the bulb never glows when I hold the grill myself.

To be frank, I am not an Electronics geek.

Could you please address this issue and help me in designing a simple burglar alarm system.

Product Description
Integrated Security Systems Design is a one-stop resource for security directors, consultants, engineers and installation managers who are interested in providing enterprise-class security in goverment and corporate installations worldwide. An integrated security system is a system that has been incorporated into other programs (such as Access Control, Private Branch Exchanges, Human Relations, Security Video, and Intercommunications) to perform tasks in a manner consistent with corporate or agency policies and procedures. This book explains how to accomplish such integration, thereby saving a company both time and money.

Integrated Security Systems Design is arranged to go from the strategic to the technical to the tactical. The strategic section covers the why of design, the technical section explains how it’s done, and the tactical section provides the cultural knowledge that leads to project success. Norman also offers guidance in avoiding pitfalls out of which lawsuits have arisen. Many of the subjects covered, such as how to make a security system invisible on an Information Technology System network, include material not available in any other book.

* Centralize monitoring of security, of business processes and of adherence to policy
* Learn the what-not-to-do’s of security design from an experienced practitioner
* Maximize your organization’s safety while reducing liability and operating costs
