There are several types of home security systems that can be incorporated into a house plan, including:
1. Burglar alarms – These systems detect intruders via motion sensors and door and window contacts, and emit a loud alarm to scare off the intruder and alert the homeowners and/or monitoring company.
2. Surveillance cameras – These cameras can be placed both inside and outside the home and can be monitored remotely via a smartphone or computer. They provide visual evidence of any suspicious activity.
3. Access control systems – These systems restrict access to the home through the use of electronic locks, keypads, and biometric scanners.
4. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors – These systems detect smoke and carbon monoxide and alert the homeowners and monitoring company in case of emergency.
5. Smart home automation – This type of system allows homeowners to control their home security from their smartphones, including adjusting lighting, locking and unlocking doors, and monitoring cameras.
6. Glass break sensors – These sensors detect the sound of breaking glass and alert homeowners and/or monitoring companies, alerting them to potential break-ins.
7. Flood sensors – These sensors detect water buildup and send alerts to the homeowners and/or monitoring companies, helping to prevent water damage.
8. Panic buttons – These buttons can be placed throughout the home and when pressed they alert the monitoring company and/or emergency responders, summoning help in case of emergency.
