An intruder alarm, also known as a burglar alarm, is a security system designed to detect and alert about unauthorized entry into a building or property. These systems typically consist of various sensors, a control panel, and signaling devices. Sensors can include door and window contacts that detect when an opening is breached, motion detectors that sense movement within a protected area, and glass break detectors that identify the sound of shattering glass.

When a sensor is triggered, it sends a signal to the central control panel. The control panel then processes this information and activates an alarm. This alarm can be a loud audible siren, a flashing light, or both, intended to deter the intruder and alert occupants or neighbors. In many modern systems, the control panel can also be programmed to send notifications to a monitoring service or directly to the property owner via a phone call, text message, or email.

Intruder alarm systems can range from simple, self-monitored setups to complex, professionally installed and monitored networks. They are a common security measure for homes, businesses, and other valuable properties, providing a deterrent against theft and vandalism and offering peace of mind to occupants. The effectiveness of an intruder alarm system relies on proper installation, regular maintenance, and the correct placement of sensors to cover all potential entry points and vulnerable areas.
