A security alarm is a system designed to detect intrusion – unauthorized entry – into a building or area.

Prisons also use security systems for control of inmates.

In the fields of physical security and information security, access control (AC) is the selective restriction of access to a place or other.

A fire alarm system has a number of devices working together to detect and warn people through visual and audio appliances when smoke, fire, carbon monoxide or other emergencies are present.

These alarms may be activated automatically from smoke detectors, and heat detectors or may also be activated via manual fire alarm activation devices such as manual call points or pull stations.

Alarms can be either motorized bells or wall mountable sounders or horns.

They can also be speaker strobes which sound an alarm, followed by a voice evacuation message which warns people inside the building not to use the elevators.

Fire alarm sounders can be set to certain frequencies and different tones including low, medium and high, depending on the country and manufacturer of the device.

Most fire alarm systems in Europe sound like a siren with alternating frequencies.

Fire alarm sounders in the United States and Canada can be either continuous or set to different codes such as Code 3.
