Sensors and Alarms
Everyone is familiar with traditional house and building alarm systems and their sensors motion sensors, heat sensors, contact (door-closed) sensors, and the like. Data center alarm systems might use additional kinds of sensors as well laser beam barriers, footstep sensors, touch sensors, vibration sensors. Data centers might also have some areas where a silent alarm is preferred over an audible one in order to catch perpetrators in the
act.
If the sensors are network-enabled, they can be monitored and controlled remotely by a management system, which could also include personnel movement data from access-control devices (see earlier section, Security System Management.)
