home security systems
Residential protection technology
Home security systems are equipment and services designed to protect a residence from intrusion, fire, or other threats.
A basic system includes sensors on doors and windows, a control panel, and an alarm; more elaborate setups add cameras, motion detectors, and professional monitoring.
We had a home security system installed after the break-in.
The phrase often appears in advertising shorthand as simply "home security."
