Most systems rely on a combination of contacts placed at doors and windows and motion sensors. It is best that all exterior potential points of entry have contracts that sense when they are open. Glass break sensors are also available and recommended. Motion sensors should not be used as the primary means of detection because they do not detect someone until they are already in the house.
The basic elements of a standard home security system include:
Control Panel: This is where the system wiring terminates, the backup battery is located and where it is connected to the phone lines if it is a monitored system.
Keypad: This is where the system is armed and disarmed.
Siren
Motion Sensor: These sense charges in a room caused by human presence. Special motion detectors are available for people who have pets.
Door and window contacts: These sounds the alarm when the door or window is opened (and the system is on).
( Protec CMS ): If the system is monitored, and the alarm is set off, the control panel sends a message to a central monitoring station, which is manned 24 hours a day.
After attempting to contact the homeowner, the central monitoring station will contact the police, fire department, or medics.

3. If the alarm is not deactivated the security systems sends a message to the monitoring company over telephone lines.
4. The monitoring company receives the message and verifies the alarm, generally by placing a phone call to the home. If they do not receive the proper password or do not receive an answer, they call the police.

Things to Remember About Security Alarm Systems
Burglars realize most security systems sound inside the house and then the alarm is transferred to remote locations through the telephone lines.
Most phone lines are typically exposed on the outside of the house in an accessible location where the phone line can be cut. If the telephone line is cut, the security alarm system cannot notify the central monitoring station of the break-in.
If the phone line is run underground until it is inside the home (with the main telephone junction box inside the home), the thief cannot tamper with the telephone line after he or she has broken in. Having a protected phone line to your house is a good idea whether you have a security alarm system or not. Remember: Security systems do not prevent thieves from breaking into homes.
