Murtohälytys

Murtohälytys is a Finnish term that translates to "burglary alarm" or "intruder alert." It refers to a system designed to detect unauthorized entry into a building or property and to notify the occupants or a security service. These systems typically involve various sensors that can detect movement, opening of doors or windows, or breakage of glass. When a sensor is triggered, it activates an alarm, which can be a siren, flashing lights, or a silent signal sent to a monitoring center.

The primary purpose of a murtohälytys is to deter burglars and to alert people to a potential break-in, allowing them to take appropriate action, such as calling the police or confronting the intruder if it is safe to do so. Modern murtohälytys systems can often be integrated with other smart home technologies, allowing users to receive notifications on their mobile devices and remotely monitor their property. The installation and maintenance of these systems are usually carried out by specialized security companies. The term itself is commonly understood in Finland and is used in both everyday conversation and in the context of security services.
