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.

Is Burglar Alarm System useless?
A survey of housing safety said burglar alarm system is useless. A good lock and scheduled house lighting is more important for home security. Is that right? Will theft pass a well locked and light house without thinking it is occupied or empty?
How can a burglar alarm system well prevent burglary and stop crime? Actually, there are many functions of burglar alarm system people doesn’t know and doesn’t use. Fox example, the linkage output function. When a burglar alarm system is triggered, it can trigger alarm siren strobe and camera recorder or house lighting. So, not timer lighting but scare lighting will be turned on to drive out the theft.
You may do not need a good lock but you can install a door windows barrier to block the burglary before they come near the entrance. Of course, the sensor can turn on the light indoor or outdoor with linkage function of alarm system.
The linkage function is a simple port built-in for easy connection with any equipment which need to be triggered. For example, the FOCUS security has this function named PGM output. The FOCUS PGM output can be programmed with some event for selection. They are alarm, password change, AC power fault, communication fault, arm, disarm. That means you can select the event to trigger siren strobe or other device. For example, you select AC power fault event, then if the AC power line is cut, it will trigger the device immediately. The selection will be made according to your alarm system installing and environment features.
When a CCTV system is connected as the event following device, the defined security camera will make video record as crime evidence and help finding the criminal.
A professional alarm system can well prevent burglary cause the burglary crime will be noted immediately and be recorded. It does not only scare the theft but also stop the crime by warning the theft with listen-in and intercom function. More over, it records the crime scene and punish the criminal if the crime is not stopped.
How to well use the burglar alarm system? Read the alarm system instruction manual carefully and understand the functions. Then enable and set the functions according to your home security needs.
Of course, planning and making a suitable home security solution is the first step.
You can easy add more sensors detectors to your exist alarm system. For example, solar power wireless infrared beam sensor can be added for perimeter security. Smoke and CO detector can be added for home environment safety. Some special detector such as outdoor curtain PIR is used for balcony, door, windows entrance detection and alert. All products are with tamper resistant function and anti destroy.

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.

How to avoid CO carbon monoxide poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause serious damage to the brain tissue. Even if cured, it may remain a sequela of central nerve injury.
How to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning?
We need to know at what situations the carbon monoxide may produced.
- Coal burning
Coal burning is used for heating or cooking. If the coal is not completely burning, it will being producing amount of carbon monoxide. If the room is closed or unventilated, carbon monoxide poisoning occurs.
- Combustible gas water heater
Combustible gas is used for water heater for some homes. If the gas water heater is installed in bathroom and with door and window closed, the gathered carbon monoxide will cause poisoning. So, it is better not installing gas water heater in bathroom.
- Stay or sleep in vehicle with air conditioner turning on
When the running speed of the vehicle engine is slow, the gasoline is not burning completely and will produce amount of carbon monoxide. The produced carbon monoxide will blow into the car through air conditioner.
What symptoms are carbon monoxide poisoning?
Slight headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea is symptoms of mild carbon monoxide poisoning.
Frontal headaches, flush on face, very red lips, much sweat, fast heart rate, restless and entering into coma. That is the symptoms of moderate poisoning.
Dizziness, nausea and convulsions, unconsciousness, body temperature rising. That is the symptoms of severe carbon monoxide poisoning.
What should we do if someone has carbon monoxide poisoning?
Cause carbon monoxide poisoning will injure brain tissue and the poisoned person can not move or ask for help by himself.
If carbon monoxide poisoned person is found, the helper should creep to the scene and open door and windows quickly. Move the poisoned person to a ventilated and warm place and keep him or her lying.
For patients who are unconscious, the head may be tilted to one side to prevent the vomit from being sucked into the lungs causing suffocation.
Call an ambulance and send the patient to a hospital with a hyperbaric oxygen tank.
How to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning?
For the resident who uses coal to keep warm, the chimney should be installed in the room where fireplace is in.
Open door or windows when coal oven is used for cooking or heating.
Do not install gas water heater in bathroom. It should be installed outdoor or near the windows of room neighbor bathroom.
Do not sleep or stay in vehicle with door and windows closed. Should timely open window for ventilation when air conditioner is turning on for long distance driving.
Install Carbon Monoxide Alarm
CO Carbon Monoxide Alarm is a security detector for sensing CO and triggering sound and light alarm if the monitored carbon monoxide density reaches to set value. It can be easy installed with AC power supply or connected to home security system. Where should we install the carbon monoxide alarm? If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet, install a CO alarm at both ends of the hallway. Install at least one CO alarm near or within each separate sleeping area. For added protection, install an additional CO alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the fireplace, furnance or fuel burning heat source.
What is beam system and how does it work
Beam system is active infrared detector. It is consist of transmitter terminal, receive terminal, Optical lens, LED indicator for light intensity etc. The system works as invisible light wall. When someone is entering into the light wall, it blocked the beams. Then the detector triggers alarm for warning and notice. The beam system keeps working 24 hours.
To avoid false alarm of blocking by falling leaves, flying bird or small animals, the blocking time should be set not too short. But to ensure no missing alarm of quick passing theft, the blocking time should be set not too long. So, the blocking time or named sensitivity should be set accurately according to the environment. Factories may make the sensitivity adjustable at set value. Below is the sensitivity adjustment way for Solar powered beams system.
HB-T001Q3+ is updated item of HB-T001Q3. It has new features of including LCD calibrator and trigger sensitivity adjusting. With built-in LCD calibrator, the transmitter terminal and receiver terminal can be easy calibrated for working.
Moreover, HB-T001Q3+ trigger sensitivity can be adjusted by customer. Below is the steps to adjust the trigger sensitivity of HB-T001Q3+.
How to program the sensitivity of the solar beams
Sensitivity of the solar beams divided into 2 types: 200ms(factory default) and 100ms
Please follow up the operation steps if you want to switch the sensitivity of the beams to be 100ms
Step 1: Turn on the solar beams by press the ON/OFF button 3 times (both the transmitter and receiver)
Step 2: Long time press the ON/OFF button for 10 seconds and release the button when you hear bleep prompt (both the transmitter and receiver)
Step 3: Press the ON/OFF button 6 times (both the transmitter and receiver)
Step 4: Make sure the solar beams aligned with each other
Step 5: Long time press the ON/OFF button for 10 seconds and release the button when you hear bleep prompt (only the receiver)
Step 6: Press the ON/OFF button 4 times (only the receiver)
Step 7: Program successfully when you hear bleep prompt
There are three types beams system. They are infrared beams, infrared grating, and infrared light wall. They are applied at different situation. Infrared beam is installed on wall or fence. It has 3
beams or 4 beam, 6 beams and length is short compared with other two types. So, it should be installed over the wall or fence or with bracket and pole to get enough protection height. But it has maximum 100 meters detection length. Infrared grating is used for windows, balcony or gate. It has 4 beams or 8 beams and with 620 mm to 1200 mm. The detection distance is 10 meters only. Infrared light wall is used for fixing on ground and can have lamp on cover.
Professional Security System installation standards
The Security System Installation is technical task. Always the trained electronic engineers, alarm system installers are responsible for the work. There are detailed standards for reference from electronic security association, security industry alarm coalition and so on. In some countries, only licensed security system installers can do the work. Anyway, it is better to get some knowledge of security system installation and DIY home security or offer security service at professional way.
Indoor wiring technology
The indoor wiring should be safe and reliable. The wiring layout should be reasonable. The wiring should be neatly arranged and the installation is secured. Specified requirement is as below:
Wire requirement: The wire rated voltage should be greater than working voltage. The wire insulation should be consistent with the installation method and environment. Wire cross-sectional area should be able to meet the power supply and mechanical strength requirements.
Wiring requirement: Avoid using connector for wiring, if it can not be avoided, then the connector must be crimped or soldered. The wire connections and branches should not be subjected to mechanical forces.
The wiring in building should keep horizontal or vertical. Protection casing should be added for the wiring (Plastic or pipes, according to the technical requirements of indoor wiring optional). Metal hose can be used for wiring under ceiling, but it should be fixed and safe.
Signal wire and power wire can not be in the same tube. It is best not putting them in parallel. If have to put them in parallel, then there should be more than 50CM distance between each other.
The AC power wire of the alarm control box should not be put in the same pipe of signal or DC power wires. It should be wired separately. The installation of the AC power wire should comply with the electrical installation standard.
The wiring from the alarm control box to the ceiling should buried in the wall with casing or with hot iron pipes. So as to improve anti-sabotage performance of the anti-theft security system.
Indoor piping technical requirements
There are two types indoor piping: outfit and concealed. Outfit piping requires horizontal or vertical, neatly arranged. Concealed piping requirements pipeline short, smooth and with less elbows.
Choosing pipeline according to the design drawing. If there is no specified requirement, then calculate the total area of the traversed wire (with skin), it should not be more than 70% of the inner hole cross-sectional area of the pipeline to be selected.
In order to facilitate the threading and maintenance of the pipe, when the pipe length exceeds the following values, the junction box or cable box should be added in the middle of the tube for easy threading.
(1) No bending, add at length of 40 meters.
(2) With a bend, add at length of 25 meters.
(3) With two bends, add at length of 15 meters.
(4)With three bends, add at length of 10 meters
Fixing the pipeline: Fixed clamps should be added at corner of the pipeline or every 1.5 meters of the straight pipeline.
The pipeline bending radius should be consistent with the provisions of the the traversed wire bending radius. Pipelines with trachoma, cracks and large deformations are forbidden to be used in wiring works. Casing or buckle should be added for pipelines’ connection.
For vertical laying pipeline, fixed threading junction box should be added every 10-20 meters according to the size of the cross-section of the wire. The thicker the wire, the shorter the distance. Then use insulated wire clip to fix the wire in the box.
For vertical nozzle without putting into the box, it should be sealed after threading of the wire.
Terminal box or junction box should be fixed with not less than three screws. Screw adapters should be added for connections of connection box and pipe. Terminal box and Junction box should be covered with case. Sub-line box should be added at branches of pipelines.
Installation of IR detectors
IR detectors or Motion sensors should be installed according to the manual. It should has 24 hours tamper-resistance function. It should not be installed at places where the mouse or other small animals can reach. The motion sensors should be installed at strong and not easy to vibrate wall and fixed with 2-3 screws. There should not be with obstacle at its detection area.
Installation of Magnetic switch
Magnetic switch should be installed firmly and neatly. It is best to be embedded in door to avoid destroy. The distance between the fixed component and the movable component of the magnetic switch should be less than the following values.
- Less than 5mm for wooden door and iron door magnetic contact
- Less than 20mm for rolling door magnetic contact

We will provide detailed security system technical document such as installation manual, data sheet and security system instruction. We offer free security solution for your specified requirement.
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?

Notice for wiring FC-7448 bus-line alarm system
FC-7448 bus-line alarm system is meian tech FOCUS brand large business security, community security, commercial security system. It adopts new technology PC and security communication method. It is popularly used by security service. There are many optional accessories for system expansion. They are telephone line monitor module, RS232 interface module and micro- printer, monitored circuit input module, bus-type detectors. Below is the notice and guide to help wiring FC-7448 bus-line alarm system.
- It is best to wire all modules and detectors to alarm control panel with one bus-line cable. If it is not available, then it is best to have branch line longer than 300m. The wiring cable should keep distance from strong interference cables such as 220V AC power cable and fluorescent lamp etc. and avoid to wire in parallel with them.
- If the wiring cable length is more than 1.5km,then FC-7425 bus-line separator is needed. One FC-7425 can extend as long as 1.5km (RVV2*1.5mm cable is used). If more than one FC-7425 is used, then the extended distance depends on the cable used and the performance environment.
- Power supply: Generally centralized power supply is used, that is all devices or some nearest devices share a power supply. All devices should have enough working power supply, if not, then additional power supply device is needed. When multiple power supply devices are working together, then connect the ground of all the power supplies together and connect to the black end of alarm panel. Each power supply device positive terminal connects to its supplied devices.
- Connect all the wires’shield together and connect to power ground with one end only(no multiple ground).
- Connect all modules to bus-line. The module address DIP switch is binary, and any two module addresses can not be the same. Connect detectors to modules.
- After complete all wiring works, check the wiring of all the devices in turn to see if there is missed and misplaced wiring. Use multiple-meter to check whether or not there is short-circuit between all wiring.
- Ensure all wiring are correct and turn on the power. If there are multiple power supplies, remember to turn on alarm panel power supply at last.
