Tunkeutumishälytys

Tunkeutumishälytys, a Finnish term, translates to intrusion alarm or break-in alarm in English. It refers to a security system designed to detect unauthorized entry into a protected area, such as a building or property. When the system detects a potential intrusion, it triggers an alert.

These alerts can take various forms. The most common is an audible alarm, such as a siren, which serves to startle the intruder and alert nearby individuals. The alarm can also send a notification to a security monitoring center, which can then contact the property owner or the authorities. In some cases, the system might also activate visual deterrents like flashing lights.

Intrusion alarm systems typically utilize a network of sensors. Motion detectors are commonly used to sense movement within a space. Door and window sensors detect when an entry point is opened. Glass break sensors can identify the sound of breaking glass. These sensors are interconnected and communicate with a central control panel, which processes the signals and determines if an alarm condition exists.

The purpose of a tunkeutumishälytys is to deter crime, protect property, and ensure the safety of occupants. They are a fundamental component of many residential, commercial, and industrial security strategies. The effectiveness of such a system depends on its proper installation, maintenance, and the response protocols in place when an alarm is triggered.
