security system
Home defense network
A security system is a network of devices and procedures designed to protect property, people, or information from unauthorized access, theft, or harm.
Home security systems typically include alarms, sensors, cameras, and monitoring services: The security system detected motion in the backyard.
The term extends to digital contexts—firewalls, encryption, and authentication protocols that guard computer networks.
We upgraded the security system after the break-in.
