The risks of a security incident can be reduced drastically by taking necessary precautions. According to an online home security expert (home improvement.com), alarm systems come in a variety of shapes and sizes nowadays - from very basic motion-activated alarms through fully monitored home security systems. In between lie a number of variations on a theme, including trip wires, motion sensors, closed circuit telemetry and more.
The truth about alarm systems is that more money doesn’t always ensure superior performance – in fact, above a certain threshold you may even see diminishing returns. Mike Challo, C.E.O and founder at Isys technologies limited states that one of the hottest new varieties of home security system is the wireless kind. “These simple systems rely on radio signals to keep everything connected,” he said, adding that the advantage is that you save tremendous amount of time and money on the installation.
New varieties of home security systems have embraced wireless technologies. These simple systems rely on radio signals to keep everything connected. According to Challo, the advantage is that you save tremendous amounts of time and money on the installation.

An Isys technology employs three varieties of wireless alarm systems that are useful for both home and institutional security.

1.    A-001 wireless alarm kit

This wireless alarm system consists of a remote control, 1 magnetic (wireless) door sensor, 1 wireless flash siren and 1 wireless horn siren (16db). With the remote control, one can arm or disarm the home or office easily, and you can trigger the siren and flash light anytime you sense danger by pressing the panic button on the remote. The sirens are independently powered by a UPS adapter each that are connected to the standard 240v power socket that is commonly used in homes and offices in the region. In the event of power blackout or should an intruder terminate the power supply to the protected home or office, the UPS adapter provides power to the sirens for a guaranteed period of not less than 24hrs.

2.    Wireless and wired burglar alarm

The wireless and wired burglar alarm system has 8 wireless zones and 8 wired zones. These zones are armed with long-distance monitoring and alarm protected zone recheck; 8 LED to indicate the alarm zone; 6 programmed phone numbers and a multi-armed mode. The system also has an NI-MH rechargeable battery to back up power up to a 24 hour period.

This system has two options of wireless frequency i.e. 433MHz or 315MHz. It also has an adaptor whereby you input electricity from 110 ACV ~240 AC and a customized UPS Adaptor. The wireless receiving distance in an open place is 250m, indoor: 30~50m, (depending on the surrounding environment and wireless interference with a standby current of 15mA.

3.    32 zone wireless burglar alarm system

This system has a wireless frequency of 433MHz or 315MHz. An adaptor in inbuilt which inputs electricity from a 110 ACV ~240 AC. The wireless receiving distance in open place is >200m, indoor and 30~50m outdoors, depending on the surrounding environment and wireless interference. The internal volume is 95dB with an external siren of 110~120 dB.

This system can protect 32 zones with 32 different zones indicated on panel. The zones have different number of sensors according to priority, and they can be partially disarmed by remote control. The system has an NI-MH rechargeable battery to back up power for 24 hours and an auto-switch if AC power is off.
As a more advanced system, there is an LED on the panel to display protection zone. There is also a PIR detector is preset for the second zone which can be disarmed solely. In additional, there is an optional siren choice for audible or muted. This the alarm trigger time and siren sound time can be customized.
