About this technology
Overview
A push-button panel is the control box for Tech House security system which consists of wire intrusion detectors at the doors, windows, and beneath the carpets. Occupants retiring for the night, or before leaving the house, activate system by punching a coded combination of numbers. After that, a step on the carpet or an attempt to force the doors or windows sets off a loud siren-like alarm.
