How the Security Systems Work

How Security Pro systems work

Each component of a Security Pro system plays a special role in the system's operation:

The panel is at the heart of the system. It stores the intelligence to monitor all sensors and touchpads. The panel initiates a call to the central station in an alarm situation.

Touchpads allow you to communicate with your panel. You'll use a touchpad to arm, disarm, and program your system.

Door and window sensors protect the perimeter of your home by alerting the panel when a door or window is opened.

Motion detectors in hallways or individual rooms detect a person moving across the field of detection.

Smoke and heat detectors remain alert for the presence of fire 24 hours a day.

Other environmental sensors detect water, freezing temperatures or carbon monoxide.

When a sensor is activated it immediately alerts the panel. The panel activates sirens and lights. If the system is monitored, the panel calls the central monitoring station. The central monitoring station operator reports the alarm to the police, fire department, or emergency medical personnel.
