Honeywell home security is full of rich features
Honeywell Security and Custom Electronics is one of largest and most experienced manufacturer of security products in the world. It manufactures an astonishing 1,500 plus security products that are used to protect businesses, offices, factories, homes, government agencies, museums, malls and stores. It is therefore not a surprise to find Honeywell home security products being used in most homes.
The Honeywell home security products can be installed directly or with the help of First Alert Professional dealers, a division of the Honeywell company. These products are quite hi-tech and especially designed to ensure the safety and security of homes.
The first step in any Honeywell home security plan is to secure the doors and windows. For this, Honeywell uses magnetic contacts that sound the alarm whenever the distance between the magnet and the switch increases. The magnetic contacts are also placed on windows to prevent an intruder from breaking in by opening the window.
Homes that have several glass doors and windows are protected by Honeywell glass breakers. A burglar who makes the mistake of smashing the glass to enter a home will be activating an instant alarm, even if he uses scotch tape to muffle the sound of breaking glass.
The next line of security is provided by motion detectors. These detectors monitor large spaces within the house. The best thing about Honeywell motion detectors is that they are able to spot the difference between a crawling intruder and a pet weighing less than 70 pounds. This reduces the possibility of false alarms.
All these systems are activated by a Honeywell keypad. The keypad, which is installed next to the entry door, is used to arm and disarm the alarm with the help of a numeric code. Illuminated keys make it easy to operate the keypad at night.
The brains of a Honeywell security system is the control panel. It is kept in a basement or a closet. All suspicious signals are routed to the control panel which decides when to sound the alarm.
Honeywell provides both wireless and hard-wired alarm systems. The company also provides round the clock monitoring. The monitoring is done at central monitoring stations which are connected by telephone lines to the homes of a customer, police station, fire station and other emergency services. Honeywell also provides a variety of remote keys to activate the alarm system installed in a house.
