wiring home security system
More advanced home alarm systems may also contain vibration sensors to detect when glass has been broken by measuring the vibrations caused by the breakage. Also, many systems use motion sensors that compute the proximity of a room’s walls by producing infrared beams and measuring the time required for them to bounce back; if a beam comes back sooner than expected, it likely bounced off of a person and the sensor registers motion. When the alarm system is installed, each sensor is registered with the control panel either through wires or wirelessly. The control panel also interfaces with keypads and other input devices used by the home owner to control the system. The control center keeps track of the status of the sensors and reports activity through LCD displays and other output devices. Moreover, when activity takes places, such as the opening of a window, the sensors report the activity to the control center and the center registers that a disturbance has occurred.
The basic principle is the same for most cameras. The first thing you need to do is position the camera where you intend to keep it. It’s a good idea to start the motion detection at a low setting on your smart phone. All you have to do then is walk in front of the camera and check to see if the device’s LED comes on. If not, increase the motion detection setting and try again. Continue like this until the LED flashes. That’s it. The camera has detected your motion so you can set save the settings right there. You may have to play around with the motion
