Home Security Systems - Flood Sensor Monitoring


Although disasters such as home fire and earthquake get far more media attention, the fact is that flooding is far more common and does substantially more damage - with effects that can last for months, if not years. A home security system with a flood sensor can't stop a flood, but it can alert you when water enters you home. This can help you limit the damage to your home. The sooner you can move valuables to higher ground, and start pumping the water out the less damage you will receive.

People living in low-lying areas such as the Gulf Coast or along the Mississippi River bottoms have discovered this the hard way. However, such flooding is not confined to areas around rivers, lakes and seacoast. Virtually anyone in North America can be a flood victim - and it doesn't take a great deal of water to cause a substantial amount of damage. According to National Flood Insurance Program, no more than 1 inch of water is all it takes to cause major property damage. Flood waters only two feet deep can carry off an automobile.

Tragically, a great deal of flood danger is caused by irresponsible development by greedy corporations that want to throw up housing developments in the most unlikely places, simply to turn fast profits. Compounding the tragedy is the fact that these homes are usually cheaply built and easily damaged - and then, homeowners find they are not even covered when they attempt to file a claim.

When it comes to flood danger, forewarned is forearmed. Just as your home has fire and intruder alert systems installed, so too should it have a flood alert system. Several reputable companies offer flood warning stations and systems for residential use that monitor factors such as precipitation, water levels for your area, wind speed and direction, relative humidity, temperature and even moisture levels in the soil - all of which can significantly affect the amount of damage your home is liable to suffer.

Most of these systems can be customized for different geographical regions, networked to National Weather Service bureaus such as NOAA over the World Wide Web, and use the latest communication technologies to keep you and your family informed about flood dangers, allowing you to take preventive steps - or if necessary, evacuate ahead of the rush.

When looking into a home security system with flood sensors, be certain that such a system can be combined with resources from local and federal government agencies, allowing you to access up-to-the-minute data via satellite and other sources.

Investment in a home security system with flood sensors for your home is as important as having smoke and fire alarms and intruder protection, regardless of where you live in the U.S.

The Hidden Benefits of Alarm Systems


Each year crews of young men and women spend their summer knocking on doors and introducing people to the benefits of owning a home alarm system. These door-to-door sales people brave the extreme temperatures of heat and humidity to bring the peace of mind that comes for owning a customized alarm system. Most people take for granted their peace of mind until they see for themselves the benefit of having a professionally installed security alarm. Aside from the obvious benefits of preventing burglary and theft home alarm systems are designed to protect property from other unforeseen dangers.

Todays home security systems can be equipped to monitor carbon monoxide levels and detect fire dangers. The sensors that are connected to a security alarm have updated technology that allows for the use of failsafe smoke detectors that are triggered based upon rising heat temperatures and carbon particles in the air rather than ion particle sensors that trip the outdated smoke detectors when the toast is burning. Home security systems provide peace of mind to millions of Americans that are able to sleep soundly at night and travel with the knowledge that they are being monitored both day and night and that assistance will automatically be sent if needed should a fire or a break in occur.

While television advertising depicts the dangers of a home invasion the majority of alarm system installations come from the people that walk the streets and present the benefits of home alarm systems to people that have given some thought to protecting their families but have not realized that home security goes beyond burglar alarms to blanket a house with full protection from all many dangers.

Four Sensaphone Monitoring Systems for Residential Use


Sensaphone's residential alarm solutions are designed for monitoring remote locations such as second homes, cottages or ski chalets. The owner or user programs the Sensaphone to monitor for specific conditions and if the conditions change outside of the user specified thresholds the Sensaphone will instantaneously alert the user or owner to the problem. There are several systems available from Sensaphone for this capable of alerting you by phone, pager, or email.

Sensaphone Alarms for Residential Use

Sensaphone 400

The Sensaphone 400 is the most popular of the residential Sensaphone systems. Out of the box the alarm dialer will monitor for power outages, listen for loud sounds such as a smoke alarm and comes with a temperature sensor connected to the Zone 1 terminals. There are an additional three input zones which you can use to monitor for water leaks or floods, humidity, even door switches or motion sensors for security. This alarm dialer will call four phone numbers when an alarm condition is detected.

Sensaphone 800

The Sensaphone 800 appears identical to the 400 and operates the same way. With all of the same out of the box features as the Sensaphone 400 the 800 has 8 different input zones and will call up to eight different phone numbers when an alarm condition is detected.

Sensaphone 1400

The Sensaphone 1400 is the "tough older brother" to the Sensaphone 400. Just like the 400 this Sensaphone has four input zones and will dial up to four different phone numbers when an alarm condition is detected. The two big advantages the 1400 has over the 400 model is that it comes in a lockable NEMA4X enclosure helping to protect the unit both from tampering as well as dust, humidity even corrosion in harsh environments. The second advantage is that the unit comes complete with a built in rechargeable battery backup.

Sensaphone 1800

If the Sensaphone 1400 is the older brother to the 400 than the 1800 is the same to the 800. With eight input zones and eight "alarm notifications" to choose from it is identical to 800. It also comes in a robust NEMA4X casing and has a built in rechargeable battery. One key feature it has which helps to set it above the rest is the ability to send text messages along with the voice phone calls.

Sensaphone has many alarm dialers to choose from, the above four are the most common for residential use. There are many other alarm dialers to choose from for monitoring everything else from greenhouses to server rooms to industrial pump stations.

The Many Applications of Misting Systems


The use of misting systems as a means of outdoor cooling has started to become popular for domestic situations such as around the patio or pool and barbecue area. However, the practice of using misting systems has been a vital part of a number of industries for many years now. Not only can these systems be used to effectively provide much needed cooling but they are also available to perform other important roles, some of which are completely unexpected.

Firstly, when we discuss misters we should point out that we are talking about high-pressure misting that produces water droplets that are incredibly fine. They can be measured as small as 20 -30 microns in size. This is compared to a normal water droplet that would measure around 200 microns. The way a mister works is that water is passed through misting nozzles under high-pressure, this pressure generated by the combination of small pumps as well as the tiny size of the holes in the nozzles. When the water hits the air it goes through a process known as flash evaporation and this evaporative process provides the cooling effect.

Misters are commonly used in a number of commercial fields in a variety of applications. One of the more common uses is in greenhouses where misting systems are used to control the temperature as well as the humidity levels. Greenhouse misters can be set up on a timer system to operate at certain hours of the day or on a sensor system so that when the relative humidity reaches a certain level the misters would kick into action.

In the food industry it is important to maintain a constant temperature and when storing certain foods it is just as important that the humidity level is kept above a certain level. A misting system provides this function too. The important aspect of using these misters is the flash evaporative effect that provides the humidity level that is required but does not wet the surroundings. This is an important aspect in an industry where mold growth is the enemy.

On industrial sites where the generation of dust is a constant problem due to both health concerns and vision problems it is necessary to have an effective dust suppression system in place. Dust control sprays using misting nozzles located at strategic spots around the site generate a fine fog that attracts the dust particles and quickly settles them to the ground. The important factor for the system's success is that the water droplets generated are close to the same size as the particles of dust that must be suppressed.

Agricultural cooling is another important job that is carried out by misting fans and lines. Heat stressed animals don't put on as much weight as animals that are comfortable and cows that are kept cool produce more milk. An outdoor cooling system effectively lowers the temperature for the livestock on hot days and the result for the farmer is an increase in production which translates in an increase in income.




The important ingredients in the success of all of these misting systems are the misting nozzles that control the flow rate and droplet size of the water that passes through them. They must be taken care of because they are small pieces of equipment that can be prone to clogging.
