IHC - Security
IHC can provide the added comfort of protection from intruders with a highly sophisticated package of devices. A range of new intelligent PIRs (Passive Infra Red) can detect not just movement but will distinguish between an intruder and the family pet. Magnetic contacts can trigger alarms if doors or windows have been opened, and can be used to provide a ‘status check’ of all doors and windows before going away. With ‘presence simulation’, the system can also be used to dissuade intruders from entering in the first place – by drawing the curtains, adjusting the blinds, and periodically turning the lights on and off to make it look as though someone is at home. Meanwhile, sensors which detect a presence on the driveway can also provide a reassuring welcome for the home owner, triggering outside lights and hall lights.
Movement sensor: Triggers an alarm when movement is registered in a room. Should be mounted at points that must be passed to access the rest of the house and locations that are likely to be searched for valuables.
Magnetic contact set: Triggers an alarm if doors or windows are opened.
Blind and curtain control: Set the curtains or blinds to close automatically after dark to avoid the home looking unoccupied. Blinds can also be set to adjust themselves automatically during the day when they detect sunlight.
Intruder detection: Sophisticated sensors can detect different body masses - which means, importantly, they recognise the difference between a cat and an intruder. In the event of a break-in, a high-pitched tone sounds and all the lights in the house flash on and off putting pressure on the thief to leave. Meanwhile outside, an alarm sounds and motion detectors turn on external lights to draw attention to the unwelcome visitor.
Voice modem: Relays an alarm signal to selected phone numbers – including a security alarm centre if applicable.
