Telemetrics. 2015

The Russian, CIS and European markets offer a significant number of GSM alarm systems of various brands. Often the cost and characteristics of products are quite similar, and it can be difficult for the consumer to navigate this diversity and identify the characteristics of the device that are important to them.

Company In order to improve the quality of its own products and increase competitiveness, it continuously studies the features of wireless sets presented on the Russian market, including products of its direct competitors - Sapsan-GSM (Sapsan), MEGA-SX, Sentinel, Xital and others.

As part of this, our specialists conducted a small comparative study of the characteristics of some products on the market.

It is no secret to many that the vast majority of consumer electronics are made in Southeast Asia. At the same time, the quality of this electronics is different and ranges from Hi-End class systems to outright consumer goods. Therefore, you should pay attention to a rather important point - some importing companies not only purchase their products in China, but also control the quality of production locally, and also bear warranty obligations in Russia to their customers. In addition, control programs and functionality of devices are adapted to the consumer, a range of additional sensors for devices (gas, smoke, vibration, etc.) is supplied, instructions are translated into Russian. Some companies use their engineering capabilities and develop devices themselves, using manufacturing sites in China only for mass production. Today we will talk about such companies.

Based on their functional characteristics, all alarms can be divided into three obvious classes.

1. Autonomous GSM alarms- sensor and device in one housing - you can control only one zone, one room. The quality and reliability of such devices often leaves much to be desired. There is no way to install the device in a room where access to an attacker will be difficult, as a result of which it can be easily disabled.
2. GSM alarms universal— allow you to connect a large number of different wireless and wired sensors in different rooms object. In addition, you can configure a large number of logical events, as well as control the temperature in the house, various appliances, etc. Such devices can be perfectly used as GSM security alarms for cottages and garages, while at the same time representing a system “ smart home» entry level.
3. MMS signaling(GSM MMS alarm) - allow you to transmit image or video from an object. The disadvantage of such alarms is the need to constantly connect the device to the Internet via a GPRS/3G/LTE channel or use MMS messages, which in turn leads to unstable operation in areas of poor network reception or at times of network overload, which often happens in dacha areas.

Let's try to understand the offers of the main suppliers of GSM alarms of the most popular, second class.

More and more people are trying to secure their homes from illegal entry. If just a few years ago the main methods of protection against thieves were metal doors with sophisticated locking systems and bars on the windows, today they have been replaced by high-tech alarm systems. With their help, you can not only prevent robbery, but promptly call special services, for example, firefighters in the event of a fire.

Modern systems are equipped with a large number of different sensors that will respond in the event of an emergency. They will send a corresponding signal to the home owner, as well as send a signal to the control panel of the relevant services. The choice of such products today is quite wide, so choosing the optimal model is not too easy. As you may have guessed, our review today is dedicated to the best alarm systems for the home this year. Well, according to tradition, before starting the analysis useful qualities certain models, let's pay attention to the very important points which should be taken into account when choosing such products. This is where we will start.

What factors are considered when choosing an alarm system for your home?

In order to select the optimal system, you should determine the requirements that will be placed on it. Obviously, any security alarm must respond in real time to all emergency situations for which it is programmed. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately think about the location of the sensors, which, when triggered, will transmit a signal to the controller, from where it will subsequently be distributed to security devices - sirens, warning lights, the user’s smartphone and the security remote control. The design of most such devices increasingly uses LED assemblies equipped with speakers, which make it possible to promptly scare off an uninvited guest.

The alarm market is quite wide, but you should choose a model in strict accordance with the guidance of specialists who have extensive knowledge in the field of security. For many users, the presence of an image is important; for this purpose, cameras are located at certain points. The area covered will directly affect the cost of the equipment. If you plan to install the alarm outside the premises, then it is important that the temperature range in which the model is capable of operating coincides with the latitudes in which the house is located.

The quality of the transmitted GSM signal is very important, since if it is weak, it will be transmitted with a delay or will not reach the user at all. Consequently, the owner does not learn about the occurrence of a critical situation in a timely manner and will not be able to react correctly.

There are alarms designed specifically for private households. Experts recommend installing such systems around the perimeter of the site, providing points in outbuildings and the garage, and protecting doors and windows. For individual building there are three classical systems– wireless, addressable and wired, also known as classic. One of the most economical products is the so-called “shout,” the main distinguishing feature of which will be a loud noise that attracts the attention of neighbors.

It is not very suitable for a private house or cottage, but it will be very useful for an apartment. Thieves keep up with the times and are able to neutralize many sensors. To do this, it would not hurt to provide a sensor for temperature changes both up and down, and lower ones should be installed in the area of ​​the windows, because it is through them that in most cases burglars enter.

When developing today's ranking of the best home alarms and selecting the most suitable models for inclusion in the review, we relied on all these points, as well as taking into account reviews from users and professionals, as well as value for money, to ensure that the devices were within the means of most of our readers. We hope that the amount of information collected will be enough for you to decide on the choice of equipment.

The main task of any security system is to notify of intrusion into a protected area. The security alarm should go off instantly as soon as an intruder opens the window/door.

There are two types of security systems. The first type works as a repeller: it makes loud sounds to scare the thief and attract the attention of others. The second type of security system transmits an alarm signal to the owner or to the private security console.

Principle of operation

Security alarms with video surveillance are quite complex. This system must include sensors, a signal receiving and monitoring device, actuators and cameras. As soon as an intruder makes his way into the protected area, the motion sensor is triggered and transmits information to control device. This happens within 10 seconds; the normal time interval is 7-15 seconds.

Further, having processed this information, the control device transmits a signal to the actuator to activate the security system, most often such a device is a siren. Also, at this time, the control and receiving device transmits a signal to a previously installed device, this can be an SMS to your phone about the system being triggered or an alarm signal to the security alarm panel.

Such security systems can operate through several communication channels:

• Ethernet – transfer of all information between sensors, control device and the owner via the Internet.
• Radio channel – operation of the entire system and transmission of alerts to security organizations via a dedicated radio channel.
• GSM – communication is carried out via mobile cellular communications.
• GTS – telephone communication (more often in older models of security systems).
