Will the alarm system produce false alarm or missed alarm?

Unread post by vedard »

There may be false alarm in the alarm system. The Ministry of Public Security allows the alarm system to have a certain false alarm rate. The false alarm mainly comes from the infrared probe. Door magnet and host have no problem of false alarm, so when we install infrared probe, we should install it strictly according to the regulations, so as to minimize the false alarm rate.

The alarm system is not allowed to fail to report. In order to make the alarm system work well, please pay attention to whether or not the probe is well powered. If there is a weak current indication, please replace the battery in time.

How do you know it's time to change batteries?
When the power is insufficient, the power indicaticator light on door magnet and probe will be lit on. The low battery report will be sent to the alarm host.

Would the alarm work if the windows weren't closed?
Door/window magnetism will fail, but the probe can work as usual, so it is better to use double protection of door/window magnetism and probe.

Advice: pay more attention on security than smart

Unread post by Jim »

When you choose a home security system, you should pay more attention on security. For example, wired alarm system is more secure than wireless alarm system. PSTN network is more secure than GSM network. GSM network is more secure than TCP/IP network. TCP/IP network is more secure than WIFI network.
Why? More easy to access means more fragile.
Smart home is very intelligent. Because it is listening, watching and learning to your behavior. For example, the app can be set to automatically turn on your WIFI and access. It can read your phone record etc.
With the smart things, the theft may be able to access to all your wireless devices including your home security system. If your security camera password is changed or reset, you should check your router security.
It is better to have self network for your home security system.
