Infrared detector is popular motion sensor. The PIR is used for security protection of bed rooms, living room, balcony etc. It is installed with bracket for angle adjustment. The detection area may be horizontal 110 degree, thickness 65 degree of fan-shaped area.
Can you install the PIR according to the instruction manual? Below we will make clearer steps for guidance.
Step1. Using impact drill to make two holes on the wall according to PIR bracket fixing hole. Then fix PIR bracket with screws (included in the PIR package)
If there is no impact drill, using cement nail to fix the bracket on the wall.
Step2. Insert the PIR body to the universal bracket. The PIR level angle and vertical angle can be adjusted for best detection.
It is better to install PIR in the corner of wall to get best protection area. Select installation location, installation height according to PIR instruction manual. Below is the illustration of installation ways and effect.
Door magnetic contact is another essential component of home security. Door contact includes two parts: magnetic switch and emitter. When these two parts are separated by about 1cm, the emitter will send alarm signal to siren strobe or alarm control panel. Magnetic contact can be used for alarm of door windows, fence or other protected objects.
The emitter should be installed on fixed object such as the door frame. The magnetic switch should be installed on moving object such as door. If the door and the door frame is not at the same plane, you can use a small piece of wood to block up the low side.
There are metal door contact, wood door contact and rolling door contact. Please select corresponding door contact for the door security protection. You can use double faced adhesive tape to fix the door contact or use screw to fix the door contact. It is better to use screw fix it. 
The alarm system installing manual will guide how to enroll the PIR, door contact to the alarm control panel. You should read the manual carefully and follow it.

Home Security Solutions and Alarm System Installation
How to make home security solutions according to individual needs and budget? Below we will give an example to explain it. The house is with 3 bed rooms, 2 bath rooms, 1 kitchen room, 1 study room and 2 balcony.
The principle of making home security solution.
1.Plan and make external security firstly. In security alarm industry, it is perimeter security zones. The security protection areas are fence, wall, gate and house entrances including door, windows and balcony. The connection areas between the upper and lower floors, between house and neighbor’s house.
2.Then plan and make internal security. In security alarm industry, it is interior zones and fire zones. The security protection areas are aisle, hall, living room, kitchen room, bed room, bath room.
3.The alarm control panel installing principle:
A.Install it at place with telephone interface and hide it. Do not install it near the door or where theft can easy find and destroy it.
B.If the alarm control panel can not be installed at hidden place, then a PIR motion sensor should be installed to monitor the alarm control panel.
C.It is best to install the siren strobe outdoor and far from the alarm control panel.
D.If the siren strobe can not be installed outdoor, it is best to use wireless siren strobe and avoid theft finding the alarm control panel.
Step 1: Define the protection range according to the house situation.
From below drawing, we can know the most easy to be invaded place is two balconies, then is the out door. And kitchen room windows, study room windows cause these rooms are always vacant at night time and can be entrance of theft. Bath room, child room, main bed room are listed as protection areas with priority code.
All protection areas are listed with priority code from 10 to 1 as below.
Step 2: Define defense zones and defense way, equipment for each zone.
After protection areas and zone is defined, the defense equipment quantity and types should be defined according to the community security environment and family environment, behavior. The above home security solution design for example, we can use different equipment for different level defense. The equipment can be added or deducted according to budget and needs.
1.Simple type installation:
With lowest budget and good security environment, we make simple type installation. Only gate No.7, balconies No.9 and No.10, kitchen room No.6, study room No.5 are defensed. Wireless door magnetism contact is used for gate No.7, kitchen room No.6 and study room No.5. PIR motion sensor is used for living room and bedroom to against intrusion from two balconies No.9 and No.10.
The alarm system used is 1pc PIR motion sensor, 3 pcs door or windows open contact, one set alarm control panel with 1 PIR, 1 door contact, 2 keypad, remote controller.
The functions of the simple type alarm system.
A.When the gate or kitchen room window, study room window is opened, (door or window is leaving more than 1 cm from the door frame or window frame) or someone is entering into living room or bedroom from the balcony, the alarm system will go off and siren strobe makes sounder and lighting for warning.
B.Backup battery is built-in and can work for 8-16 hours at AC off time.
C.PIR motion sensor is used for zone 9 living room and home arm can be set when someone is at home. So, the living room PIR will not trigger alarm when someone is at home.
D.If no one is at home, away home arm should be set and intrusion is detected at living room, the alarm goes off.
The cons: When magnetic contact is used for windows security, the windows can not be opened even at summer time.
2.Basic type installation:
Use wireless door windows magnetic switch for all doors and windows. Use 1 PIR motion sensor for addition of living room security protection.
The functions of the basic type alarm system.
A.When the gate or kitchen room window, study room window, bathroom window, child room window is opened, (door or window is leaving more than 1 cm from the door frame or window frame) or someone is entering into living room or bedroom from the balcony, the alarm system will go off and siren strobe makes sounder and lighting for warning.
B. Backup battery is built-in and can work for 8-16 hours at AC off time.
C. PIR motion sensor is used for zone 9 living room and home arm can be set when someone is at home. So, the living room PIR will not trigger alarm when someone is at home.
D. If no one is at home, away home arm should be set and intrusion is detected at living room, the alarm goes off.
Cons: When magnetic contact is used for windows security, the windows can not be opened even at summer time. When someone is at home, home arm should be set.
3.Practical type installation:
Cause the basic type alarm system using windows contact for windows protection and the windows can not be opened at arm status, the curtain PIR is used to replace windows contact. The curtain PIR is with direction recognition and alarm goes off if theft entering from outdoor. The alarm will not go off if home owners is walking at home.
Cons: The balcony security protection is not enough. The theft can enter into balcony without alarm going off. It alarms until theft goes into the house.
4.High grade type installation:
Use infrared fence as balcony and windows intrusion prevention security equipment. The infrared fence is installed outdoor and can stop intrusion outdoor. Smoke detectors and gas leakage sensors are used as well for fire prevention.
Solar power wireless infrared fence can be used. It is easy to install and there is wireless to wired transceiver for connection with any third party alarm control panel.
Smoke alarm and gas alarm should be set as 24 hours zone and not controlled by arm disarm setting.
5.Complete type installation:
With infrared fence installed outdoor for windows and door entrance prevention. And add outdoor PIR detector as well at balcony to ensure the alarm going off when the theft is at balcony. Add wireless siren strobe for warning and neighbor notice. So, home is more secured.
6.Thorough security solution with smart home
Smart home house appliance switch is added to complete type installation alarm system. The house appliance such as air conditioner, electric cooker, electric heater can be remote turned on or turned off by mobile phone, remote, smart home app or telephone calling.

Home gas safely using precautions
Gas source is important energy choice for every home now. It is used for cooking, heating everyday. But most people are lack of home gas safely using knowledge. They don’t know there is potential dangers for gas using. They don’t know there is rules for safely using home gas source. So, there is always news of gas explosion and gas fire.
Will home gas lead to death?
There are three different types of gas source for home gas supply. They are Natural gas, LPG and coal gas. Coal gas has little carbon monoxide toxic gas. The gas itself will not lead to death directly.
But if it is used improperly, for example it is not burned completely, it will produce lot of carbon monoxide and poison to death.
The leakage of gas will cause explosion if electric switch is turned on /off or ignition of match or lighter.
What are the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning?
- Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.
- Carbon monoxide poisoned people will feel strong prostration, breathing and pulse acceleration, confusion and can not move independently.
- Carbon monoxide poisoned people looks face flushing, loss of consciousness, breathing stopped, cramps, leading to cardiac arrest and death.
If people is poisoned by carbon monoxide, what should we do?
- Move the poisoned people from the poisoning place as soon as possible. Open the windows and doors for ventilation.
- Immediately use hyperbaric oxygen therapy to reduce sequelae for carbon monoxide poisoned people.
We know the dangers of home gas now. Then what matters we should pay attention to?
Before using home gas
- Check and make sure there is no leakage of the gas source. You can smell toxic fumes, you can hear hissing sounds and you can feel cool wind from the gas leaking part.
- Test and find the leaking part. Do not use matchstick or lighter fire to test it. Use soapy water or detergent to check. Cover soapy water or detergent on the pipe of gas source, then turn on the gas source. If there is bubble on the pipe, then there is crack. Replace the pipe immediately.
- The gas source cylinder should be with check data and qualified logo.
- The gas source cylinder should be placed upright on well ventilated place without sunshine.
- Do not put anythings on the cylinder to avoid burning.
What not to do for using home gas source?
- Do not add, modify, remove gas facilities and appliances by yourself or unauthorized department.
- Do not install the gas pipeline, valves, flow meters, gas appliances and other gas facilities in the wall, ceiling, cabinet and so on.
- Do not pile up debris in the room where gas meters, valves and other facilities are installed.
- Do not hang debris on the gas pipeline or pull the wire, rope to hang debris.
- Do not open or close the public valve of gas pipeline.
Home Security anti-theft knowledge and technology
Safely using gas source and electric source is the most important thing for home security to prevent fire. Burglary and robbery is the second danger for home security and it is increasing. People should watch out to avoid such dangers. Below is some tips of anti-theft knowledge.
- Close the doors and windows when you are away home. Using anti-theft security gate and lock it for full protection. Do not put the key under gate or in flower pot etc.
- Do not put amount of cash or valuables at home. Do not put identification card and bank account book together.
- If suspicious person is found around, should report to patrol police and verify their identity.
- The security door should be locked from indoor before sleeping. The key should be kept in the vertical position with the keyhole. So that to avoid technology unlocking of the burglary.
- Do not put trousers, coat, handbag, wallet near the windows when you are sleeping.
- Immediately clean the unidentified symbols on the gate or wall when it is found.
- Get help from neighbors and remind each other of suspicious phenomenon. Have them help to watch your home when you are away or on trip.
- Take the key with you and do not put it anywhere. Immediately replace the lock when the key is missing.
- Record and keep the factory number, clear mark of valuable device such as TV set, PC for future reference if they are stolen.
- Do not let preschool children taking keys with them.
Home Security Technology Protection
There are some new technology security devices to monitor home when you are away.
- IP camera is the most popular security device for home surveillance. It is easy to install and connect with internet to smart phone. Using app, the home can be monitored when you are on trip or on work.
- Complete home security system can detect illegal intrusion and take, send photos. Various alarm detectors such as door contact, PIR infrared motion sensor, smoke senor, gas detector, outdoor photoelectric beams detector etc. can be installed and protect the whole house including interior and exterior part.
- The entrance pass-ways should be protected seriously.
Christmas Home Security Protection cautions
Christmas holiday is coming and travelling season begins. But how to protect the empty home? An empty home is the biggest aim of theft, burglary.
There are many tips of holiday home security such as stopping newspapers, putting lights, TVs on intermittent timers, activating security system, noticing police or neighbors etc.
All the holiday home security tips are right but not enough. If you live in apartment, community security is the essential part of Christmas home security and all time home security protection. There is exterior security equipment such as CCTV, access control device, intruder detection system beams and surveillance on duty security guard. So, community security can mainly guarantee the home security on Christmas holiday. Adding interior security system, the home security is ensured.
But if you live in house, your home is exposed to theft and burglary. On Christmas holiday, your home may be the aim of theft and burglary. So, how to ensure the house security on holiday when you are away?
Alike community security, exterior security is essential part of house security. CCTV security camera is limited for using outdoor in many countries such as UK. The best security equipment for exterior security is solar-powered wireless photoelectric beams sensor. The break beams detector is installed on walls or on driveway, yard, balcony. It consists as a barrier of the house. It makes loud sound and bright light when someone breaks-in the barrier. It alerts the burglary and notices patrol police and neighbors at first time. Then, with alarm communication central connected, it dials home owner phone number and security service centers contact id or police center phone to report the break-in event.
With first time detection and fast response, the crime can be stopped at first time. If it is not convenient to install break-in system of photoelectric beams on wall or yard, driveway, there is another type called infrared grating. The infrared grating is installed on windows with 10 m detection distance. Of course it is installed outdoor as well to protect the entrance windows, garage gate or other pass-way.
So, it is time to reinforce the home security before Christmas holiday. If you need to know the details and know-how, we have all the information including video of installation guideline. For example, FAQ of break beams, program beam system, test infrared beams, video guide installing beam security

Is Smart Home equal to App controlled Home
In 2011, Google Android@Home proposed to connect every device at home to Android App. Then smart home is equal to intelligent hardware +App.
Now, almost all house appliance can support APP. You need to download and install app for TV set, fridge, washing machine, water heater and even range hood. The more intelligent house appliance, the more app for installation and less memory left for the phone.
Is the app controlled home equal to smart home? If you are home, you may turn off the light with switch or remote instead of app. App controlling is an extra way of remote controlling for house appliance. But it is not real smart home.
Some manufacturers have developed smart home hub and use one app to control all house appliances. Seems it enables the home automation system communicate with people. It is the best smart home system we can have on the market. But APP is not the house appliance itself and can not self identify the situation and self adjust. We are still expecting more intelligent, humane and emotional smart home.
We think it is available. The development of artificial intelligence technology will enable the device understanding people needs. The device can see (Gesture Recognition), can listen (Voice Recognition). For example, the air conditioner can sense environment and auto adjust temperature, the washing machine can auto identify cloth type and adjust washing way, the TV set can catch audience’s interest and auto switch program.
Smart home system should enable more experience of automati
on and easy communication of people with house appliance.
Many companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, GE etc. are thinking and developing it. Echo is a smart speaker which can listen to people and play music. Sol is a smart lighting from GE. Sol can report weather forecast, turn on /off the light by people voice order and play music as well. Front part smart hardware adding big remote resource consist the intelligent home kits.
So, smart home is not equal to APP controlled home. Without app, without smart phone, the direct communicable device is the smart home device.
Installing outdoor security cameras
CCTV surveillance system can be used for purpose of monitor, detection, observe, recognition, identify and inspection. Many homes are with CCTV cameras installed in house. Also many homes are considering installing CCTV cameras outside house to increase home security protection or other purpose.
There is limitation of installing outdoor security cameras for home owners. Neighborhood dispute is one problem. Security cameras may be used for unlawful purpose such as peeping. So, in some countries such as UK, there is privacy protection regulation regarding outdoor CCTV camera installation.
To correctly operate CCTV system, you should remember to obey the following rules. 1. Equipment should be sited in such as way that it only monitors those spaces which are intended to be covered by the equipment. 2. If domestic areas such as gardens or areas not intended to be covered by the scheme border those spaces which are intended to be covered by the equipment, then the user should consult with the owner of such spaces if images from those spaces might be recorded. 3. Operators must be aware of the purposes for which the scheme has been established. 4. Operators must be aware that they are only able to used the equipment in order to achieve the purposes for which it has been installed. 5. If cameras are adjustable by the operators, this should be restricted so that operators can not adjust or manipulate them to overlook spaces that are not intended to be covered by the scheme. 6. If it is not possible physically to restrict the equipment to avoid recording images from those spaces not intended to be covered by the scheme, then operators should be trained in recognizing the privacy implications of such spaces being covered.
Besides of above limitation and notice of outdoor CCTV cameras installation, there are extra notices from technical view for best performance of the CCTV cameras and avoid solarization.
The Security camera works well at day time and solarization occurs at night, Why?
How to install CCTV
Cause: The Security camera is installed to close to the wall and cause solarization at night. Adjust the camera to avoid infrared light reflects into lens through the wall.
There is trees in front of the camera and the block of trunk causes solarization at night. So, Adjust the camera to avoid blocking of trees.
CCTV-camera-installation
The CCTV camera is installed to close to the roof and causes solarization at night.
Where to install CCTV
The CCTV camera is installed to close to the light source such as lantern or bulb. It may cause solarization at night.
Security solution for house

How is sensor important for smart home
Sensing technology is important for smart home system. With sensors, the environment change can be sensed and reported to controller for analysis, the controller then commands the device adjusting and responding. The smart home system is the real automatic running smart system.
How is sensor important for smart home. How does the sensing technology change and improve the smart home system functions? Below we will analyze it.
- Sensors provide abundant data and enable artificial intelligence of smart home system
With sensors, the smart home system will be more programmable. Home is more visible and environment change is quantized and smart home system can automatically running according to change of reality. Everything can be a virtual device and is connected. Everything is intelligent and can learn and respond. So, the smart home system can provide suitable service automatically.
- Sensor is connection of house appliance
With sensors, the house appliance such as lighting, curtain, air conditioner, cooker can be set according to the model. So, the home is smart.
- Only with sensing technology, the smart functions can be realized
Smart home system is based on home, with building management, network communication, house appliance automation controlling and comfort functions.
Only with sensing technology, the home model can be set and remote controlled.
- With sensing technology, no need manual operation
The smart home system can automatically respond to environment without manual operation or input. Various sensors can work together and largely improve smart home intelligence.
- Sensing technology is needed for products digital
The improvement of smart home system relies on digital products. Sensors adding is the way to improve the products to digital products. So, the products information can be connected, transformed, saved, judged, analyzed and executed.
- The sensors function can be expanded with application of smart home system
The sensors can be with multiple functions when it is used for smart home system. For example, infrared detector PIR, when it is used for burglar alarm system, it is a motion sensor only to trigger alarm. But when it is used for smart home system, it can be used as motion sensor when the system armed; it can be used as sensor light when the system is disarmed. With multiple sensors and adding logical analysis, it can be used as elders monitor alarm sensor.
Security Service Upgrade
Network security service center is using a security system to receive protected areas’ security information and take action to stop crimes, prevent disaster. The security information transportation way is the core part of the security system.
PSTN telephone network is the most popular security service center network. But with development of digital communication technology, security system is developed as well with video alarm etc. PSTN network is with difficulty to transport the security signals fast and reliable.
The security service upgrade is to enable the security service with multiple data transportation network such as GSM/GPRS/TCP/IP and video alarm. Without any replacement, but with add-on of video alarm server and security management, GSM/GPRS communication module, the security service center can be upgraded.
Upgrade Security service
For CCTV surveillance monitor service, with add-on of Video alarm EAVS security equipment, the security system can be updated to alarm and surveillance monitor system as well. All old security equipment are keeps working well.
