Alarm systems can be used by anyone to monitor anything that can change state. Alarm systems are put onto glass windows to detect breakage. They can be set to either light detect or gross detect. It is important to test alarm systems after installation.

A building by an airport that has glass breakage detectors as part of their alarm systems will not want an active alarm every time a plane flies over. A service technician that services alarm systems can adjust the sensitivity of glass breakage detectors if a problem arises.

Alarm systems sometimes come with an access control system. The card reader systems available through Kastle Systems are the proximity reader, the insert reader, the swipe reader and the turn-style reader. The Kastle Systems alarm systems have programmable access cards that can also control tenant alarm systems.

In the office buildings that have chosen Kastle Systems for their alarm systems, a lot of the tenants also choose to purchase a Kastle System. The alarm systems that Kastle installs are also monitored by them at a central monitoring center.

Kastle has people in their Houston monitoring center monitoring alarm systems in Los Angeles, Dallas and Houston. They also lock and unlock buildings remotely from this location. The communication with the alarm systems is constant and done with a dedicated circuit. Kastle monitors their own equipment as well as the alarm systems in the buildings.

Alarm systems can be used cleverly in banks. There are alarm systems that can put a sensor in the place where one hundred dollars bills are kept in a teller's cash drawer. If an override switch is not turned prior to removing the last bill in the drawer, a signal is sent to the monitoring center.

Kastle Systems has a completely customizable system for monitoring alarm systems. Whenever an alarm is activated, a message is sent to the alarm console in the monitoring center. The message that activates is customized by the client and their account manager.

Sometimes when an alarm activates, all that is supposed to happen is to notify the onsite security guard. In some buildings, there is a request to notify local authorities to respond.
