32.3 Security system limitations
Not even the most advanced security system can guarantee protection
against burglary, fire, or environmental threats. All security systems are
subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of
reasons including, but not limited to, the following:
– Sirens or horns placed outside the hearing range of people in
remote areas of the building or in areas that are frequently closed
off do not provide the intended protection.
– If intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry, the
security system does not detect the intruders.
– If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or
disconnecting all or part of the security system, the security system
cannot detect the intruders.
– If the AC power supply is OFF and the back-up battery is either
missing or dead, the security system does not detect intrusion.
– Smoke detectors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, or roofs,
or smoke blocked by a closed door. They might not detect smoke or
fire on a level of the building different from the one on which they
are located. Smoke detectors might not be able to warn in time
about fires started by explosions, improper storage of flammables,
overloaded electrical circuits, or other types of hazardous
conditions.
– If your security system’s method of communication is down (phone
line, cellular, or internet problems), reports from the security
system to the security company cannot send. Communication
methods are vulnerable to compromise by several means.
Inadequate maintenance and failure to test are the most common
causes of alarm failure. Testing the system once a week is strongly
recommended to ensure all system components are working properly.
