Non-Security Elements of a Security System

When you think of a security system, the first thing that comes to your mind is probably security cameras and alarms. However, there is more to a security system. Not only do they protect you from fires, break-ins, and other dangerous threats, but they also monitor your property, making sure that there are no environmental factors that could affect it. 

What is a Non-Security Element of a Security System?

A non-security element means exactly what it says in its name. It’s a part of the security system that isn’t directly related to the security protection of a space or asset. However, this doesn’t mean that there’s no direct purpose for these elements. Having these elements in addition to security cameras, fire alarms, and other security measures can help keep your property safe.

Here are three examples of non-security elements within a security system. 

Environmental Device Monitoring

Environmental devices are responsible for monitoring the environmental conditions of your property or facility including the building’s electrical or heating system status. This monitoring system also closely follows pumping devices, generators, and other specialized equipment. In the case of flooding, smoke, or humidity, this monitoring system will ensure that your building and equipment are safe from damage. 

High-Low Temperature Monitoring

High-low temperature monitoring is a part of your security system that will alert you if the temperature becomes too hot or too cold.  This will put you at ease if you are away from your business on vacation and your building has a drastic temperature change. At Instant Alarm, our operators at our UL Listed Central monitoring station will monitor your building to ensure that the temperatures are at a safe level. 

Water Monitoring 

Water monitoring is a device that will detect high water levels within your business. If there are big environmental and weather changes from snowstorms or hurricanes, these water monitoring systems will ensure that your water level is not getting too high.
