What type of alarm activates when a break-in occurs?

A burglar alarm audible is designed specifically to go off when a break-in is detected. Its primary function is to alert both the occupants of a building and any nearby individuals or law enforcement to the presence of an unauthorized entry. This type of alarm usually emits a loud sound, designed to deter the intruder and notify people in the vicinity that there is a potential security breach.

The credibility of this response is supported by the actual deployment of burglar alarms in security systems. They can be integrated with motion detectors, door/window sensors, or other surveillance devices to activate automatically upon unauthorized access. When the system is triggered, it typically results in a loud siren or alarm sound.

In contrast, other types of alarms such as silent alarms are designed to notify law enforcement or monitoring centers without alerting the intruder. Monitoring alarms typically refer to systems that are constantly checked by a control center but might not necessarily provide an audible alert during a break-in. Security alarms is a more general category and can include any mechanism designed for protection, but it does not specify the audible aspect as clearly as a burglar alarm does.
