1.1.
An intruder alarm system serves multiple purposes in strengthening overall security:
1. Deterrence of Crime – The presence of an alarm system discourages criminals
from attempting unauthorized entry. Visible alarm components (e.g., sirens, flashing
lights) increase the risk of detection and apprehension.
2. Immediate Detection of Intruders – Intruder alarms detect unauthorized access
and notify security personnel or authorities in real-time, reducing response time.
3. Rapid Response and Notification – Many alarm systems are connected to
security companies or law enforcement, ensuring a swift response to security
breaches.
4. Protection of Assets and Property – Alarms safeguard valuable property by
alerting owners and security teams to break-ins, preventing theft or vandalism.

vandalism.
5. Enhancing Overall Security Strategy – Intruder alarms work in conjunction
with other security measures (e.g., CCTV, access control) to create a layered
security approach.
1.2 How Intruder Alarm Systems Improve Security Personnel Efficiency and
Intrusion Detection (5 Marks)
1. Reduces the Need for Constant Patrolling – Security officers can monitor
multiple locations remotely through alarm-triggered alerts instead of physically
patrolling all areas.
2. Minimizes Human Error – Security personnel may overlook suspicious
activity, but an automated alarm system consistently detects unauthorized
access and eliminates oversight.
