If you have a built in pool in your backyard & a door that enters into the backyard then explain how the difference between a home security system & a pool door alarm operate in order to provide protection from a child entering into the area? Need answer to major dispute.
The only difference would be is that the pool door would have a Reed switch on it (otherwise known as a mag, which is a magnet that when it’s not connected it would signal to a control room or to a mobile phone) and the home alarm system would have a series of zones with different types of alarms (PIR, MAG’s, etc) If it’s monitored it probably means that the pool door would signal as a higher priority than a movement sensor. I’m assuming another difference would be that the Pool door would be silent, whereas the house alarms would have a strobe and siren. They are pretty much the same thing though, it just depends on whether your house alarms are monitored or not – if they aren’t the difference would be that the pool door would definitely be monitored otherwise it would serve little purpose.
On top of that – the pool door alarm would be armed 24 hrs – unless disarmed by a master code for use of the pool. The house alarms would be turned on and off all the time.
Home alarm is for break and enter.A pool alarm goes off when the gate opens mostly to alert you of children who may fall in and drown.
