Keypad Locations :
Keypads are located by most contractors on the inside wall near the door most
often used by the occupants. They are also frequently located in the bedroom
to provide easy access by the users when retiring or arising. Keypads used for
home security perimeter protection are not recommended for outside mount-
ing because this would allow tampering, vandalism, or attempts by an intruder to search for a correct code.
Some exceptions to this rule are applications
such as exterior security gates and gated community entrances.
Sensor Locations
:
Sensors perform all thefunctions required for detecting and reporting an intrusion in the area they are designed to protect.
Window and door sensors are
installed on the door or window frame. Window sensors can be protected by
either a magnetic switch that detects an opening of the window frame or other
types mounted on the window to detect the sound or vibration of broken glass.
Interior surveillance cameras and motion detectors are usually wall mounted
and are used to protect open areas where an intruder might be able to defeat
the perimeter security system sensors.
Exterior surveillance cameras and security lighting systems should be locat-
ed in areas near the front, side, and rear entrances to detect intruders before
they reach the perimeter security sensors.
