Alarm security sensors are critical components in an alarm intrusion security system, each designed to detect specific types of threats or intrusions, and help with alerting stakeholders of all intrusions in their spaces. Here's an overview of the main types and their functions:
1) Perimeter Intrusion Detectors (Beam sensors)
These are mainly put on the perimeter all fences of a home, so that incase someone tries to jump into their premises, the sensors detect the motion immediately and an alert is sent immediately on the owner’s mobile phone.

2) Magnetic Contacts
We install these devices on the doors, and are protective devices in a way that they consist of a magnet that keeps them attracted to each other when the door is closed. When a door is opened, the magnetic field breaks and triggers the alarm. They're simple, reliable, and form the backbone of most security systems.

3) Motion Sensors
These sensors are installed in sensitive rooms, entry points or hallways that lead you to stores or rooms that one may not want everyone to access. They detect human bodies and are the most common indoor motion detectors.

4) Vibration Sensors (Door and Window Sensors)
These are sensors placed on doors and windows and pick motions of either breaking of glass or forceful opening of the door or window.

Conclusively, security sensors have evolved from simple alarms to intelligent protection systems that adapt to your needs. They're no longer just about catching criminals, it’s about preventing crime, protecting your family and businesses, and giving you complete confidence in your safety.
With the right combination of sensors watching over your property, you're not just installing a security system, you're investing in peace of mind that lasts 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
