Many alarm panels are designed to be impenetrable to tampering. This function is known as “Crash and Smash” protection by some security companies. If an intruder tries to disable security by destroying the control panel, the control panel will send a signal to the monitoring company, which will despatch emergency personnel.
Some wireless security systems can still work even when the power is down. It depends on how the security system and the monitoring centre communicate. If the alarm system is connected to the Internet or VoIP, it will lose connectivity if the Internet goes down. If you use cellular radio, your alarm system will be able to communicate even if the power goes out and without Internet access.
Some home security systems protect against natural calamities by detecting heat, smoke, and moisture, in addition to intruders. Fire and water damage can be prevented or minimised with the use of alarms and SMS alerts.
