A laser motion detector is a key component to your company’s monitored alarm system. These devices trip the alarm by sensing changes in the infrared energy levels when an intruder is in the area.

Monitored alarm vendors can install a laser motion detector at various parts of your home or office. The device is typically small and installed in discreet areas like the corners of windows or on walls. Detectors can protect large surface areas – a single motion detector light can detect movement in a 100-foot radius – by alerting the central monitoring station that there is an unauthorized entry on the premises.

Before including a laser motion detector as part of your system, make sure it’s the right option for you. For businesses, you need to deactivate your alarm before entering as you could trip the motion detector unknowingly. If you own house pets, many newer motion detectors include a pet alley that will allow them to freely roam around without triggering the alarm. However, if your pets are very active, they may set more sensitive systems off.

Other security monitoring devices
A laser motion detector is just one of many basic devices included a typical monitored security system setup. Among the other reliable components to a system:

• Control panels – The “brain” of the system that’s installed out of sight and sends all signals to the central monitoring station
• Security keypads - Electronic keypads installed outside entranceways for employees to enter codes for safe entry.
• Window and door contacts – Magnetic devices installed along door jams and window frames to trigger the alarm when opened.
• Sensors – Devices that alert the system when glass breaks.
• Sirens – Multiple loud horns and strobe lights that alert passersby to possible intrusion.
