The alarm keypad is either hardwired to the control panel or directly built in. Keypads can come in many forms, including graphic touchscreens, wireless keypads, and wired keypads. The alarm keypad is used for system programming as well as system arming/disarming. Notification devices, like sounders and sirens, are put in place to alert residents of a break in. Motion detectors, Door/Window Sensors , and Glassbreak sensors are mounted throughout the home to detect possible intrusion from any home access point, like a door or window. When the security system is armed, these sensors are activated, and will trigger an alarm if an intruder attempts to break in. 2. Central Station Monitored: Your security system sends alarm signals to a company over telephone lines, internet lines, cellular networks, or even all three. The operator on the other end dispatches police and fire personnel to your home in the event of an emergency.
