Which security devices do you need for home protection?

Which devices do you need for home security? Motion detector, door contact, smoke detector, water-leak detector, siren and other components.

A professional alarm system consists of several devices working together. The goal is not to install every possible sensor, but to place the right devices in the right locations.

Valves.ee lets you configure a Jablotron security system according to the needs of your home or business.

Control panel – the heart of the alarm system

The control panel connects detectors, sirens, keypads and communication functions. It processes events and triggers the configured alarm, notification or automation.

Motion detector

A motion detector monitors a room while the relevant security area is armed. It is commonly used in hallways, living rooms, garages, offices and storage spaces. Pet-friendly and photo-verification options are available for suitable applications.

Door and window contact

A magnetic contact detects when a protected door or window is opened. It is commonly used on entrance doors, terrace doors and other important openings.

Smoke detector

A smoke detector helps detect a fire at an early stage. When connected to the alarm system, a fire event can also be included in system notifications.

Water-leak detector

A water-leak detector is useful near boilers, washing machines, kitchens, utility rooms and other places where a leak could cause serious damage.

Indoor and outdoor siren

Sirens make an alarm clearly audible and, with an outdoor siren, visible outside the property as well.

Keypad

A keypad allows local control of the system: arming, disarming and checking status. It can be used alongside the mobile application.

How many detectors do you need?

The number depends on the layout and risks. A small apartment may need only a few core devices, while a large house can require protection for several entrances, floors and separate rooms.

Can security devices be added later?

Yes. The system can be expanded later with extra motion detectors, smoke detectors, water-leak detectors, sirens and other devices.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a motion detector in every room?

No. Detector placement depends on the layout and the routes you want to protect.

Which is more important, a door contact or a motion detector?

They perform different tasks and are often used together.

Does the smoke detector work when intrusion protection is disarmed?

Fire detection is normally configured independently from ordinary intrusion arming so that it can remain active continuously.
