A home Security System is an electronic system that provides monitoring and automatic alerts in the event of threats to your home.

Security Systems can range from basic do-it-yourself systems, to very elaborate systems that are monitored by a professional home security company.

Monitoring by home Security Systems can include features such as: motion detectors; smoke detection; CO monitoring; door and window monitors; heat sensors; and closed-circuit video recording.

There are five key components to most home security systems: monitors (both motion sensors and door/window contact sensors), control pad, alarm horn, a back-up battery, and it may or may not utilize a remote monitoring system.
