Building security systems and building communications systems are building automation components that combine voice, data and video within a structured system. They are sometimes called guard tour systems or guard control systems.
Heat detectors are fire detection devices that sense heat produced by combustion. Heat detectors can trigger an alarm when they detect rapid temperature rise or reach a preset temperature.
Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are used to determine whether security has been breached and unauthorized access granted to property, equipment, resources or data.
