32.3 Security system limitations
Not even the most advanced security system can guarantee
protection against burglary, fire, or environmental threats. All
security systems are subject to possible compromise or failure-
to-warn for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the
following:
– Sirens or horns placed outside the hearing range of people in
remote areas of the building or in areas that are frequently
closed off do not provide the intended protection.
– If intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry,
the security system does not detect the intruders.
– If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming,
or disconnecting all or part of the security system, the
security system cannot detect the intruders.
– If the AC power supply is OFF and the back-up battery is
either missing or dead, the security system does not detect
intrusion.
– Smoke detectors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, or
roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door. They might not
detect smoke or fire on a level of the building different from
the one on which they are located. Smoke detectors might
not be able to warn in time about fires started by explosions,
improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical
circuits, or other types of hazardous conditions.
