Appendix
Security System Limitations
Not even the most advanced security system can
guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or
environmental threats. All security systems are subject
to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety
of reasons including, but not limited to, the following:
If sirens or horns are placed outside the hearing
range of people in remote areas of the building or
in areas that are frequently closed off, they do not
provide the intended protection.
If intruders gain access through unprotected points
of entry, the system will not detect their entrance.
If intruders have the technical means of bypassing,
jamming, or disconnecting all or part of the
system, they will not be detected.
If the AC power supply is OFF and the back-up
battery is either missing or dead, motion sensors
will not detect intrusion and the fire points will not
detect the presence of smoke.
Smoke detectors cannot detect smoke in chimneys,
walls, or roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door.
They might not detect smoke or fire on a level of
the building different from the one on which they
are located. Smoke detectors might not be able to
warn in time about fires started by explosions,
improper storage of flammables, overloaded
electrical circuits, or other types of hazardous
conditions.
If phone lines are out of service, reports from the
security system to the security company cannot be
sent. Telephone lines are vulnerable to
compromise by several means.
Inadequate maintenance and failure to test are the
most common causes of alarm failure. It is strongly
recommended that you test your system once a week
to be sure that all system components are working
properly.
Although having a security system
might make you eligible for reduced
insurance premiums, the system is no
substitute for insurance. Warning
devices cannot compensate you for
loss of life or property.
Fire Safety and Evacuation
Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death.
Most fire related deaths occur at night when occupants
suffocate in their sleep from smoke and toxic gases,
rather than from burns. To help reduce this risk, the
following program should be implemented:
1. Minimize fire hazards. Smoking in bed, cleaning
with flammable liquids such as gasoline, leaving
children home alone, and using unsafe holiday
decorations are some of the common causes of
household fire.
2. Install a fire alarm system. The primary purpose
of this system is to give the earliest possible
warning of danger.
3. A smoke detector should be provided to protect
each sleeping area in a home (refer to Figure 1
and Figure 2 on page 30).
4. Practice an escape plan. Because there might be
very little time between detection of a fire and
the time it becomes deadly, it is important that
every member of the family understand how to
quickly evacuate according to the plan.
