Qantum Alarm: Reliable alarm systems for comprehensive home security

What characterizes an intelligent alarm system? It must provide reliable protection against break-ins, react at an early stage and at the same time prevent false alarms. At Heim+Handwerk 2022 in Munich, Qantum Alarm will be presenting a system that addresses precisely this issue: The alarm is triggered as soon as a break-in attempt is made - even before perpetrators get into the building.

Security concept with a focus on prevention

Traditional alarm systems usually only react when windows or doors have been opened or windows smashed. The system presented at the trade fair takes a different approach. It focuses on prevention and attempts to detect and stop break-in attempts as early as possible. The focus is on the idea of deterring potential perpetrators as early as the phase in which they attempt to mechanically break into windows or doors. The aim is to prevent an intrusion from occurring in the first place.

• Alarming as early as the attempted break-in
• Deterrence before the actual intrusion
• Advanced protection compared to classic systems

Sensor technology detects lever movements and the use of force

The system reacts to typical noises and vibrations that occur when tools such as crowbars or screwdrivers are used. As soon as a window or door is mechanically forced, the system sounds the alarm - regardless of whether it has already been successfully opened. At the trade fair, it will be explained that the sensor system specifically distinguishes between normal everyday noises and characteristic burglary patterns. This is to ensure that only relevant events trigger an alarm.

• Recognition of lever and burglary tools
• Reaction even before doors or windows are opened
• Focus on typical burglary patterns

Acoustic glass breakage detection as an additional level

In addition to detecting mechanical impacts, the system also has acoustic glass breakage detection. If a pane is smashed, the sensor recognizes the typical sound pattern and triggers an alarm immediately. This creates an additional level of security, which is particularly relevant for large window areas or patio doors. Here, too, the time factor is paramount: the alarm is triggered immediately, leaving the perpetrator no room for maneuver.

• Recognition of typical glass breakage noises
• Immediate alarm in the event of glass breakage
• Supplement to mechanical burglary detection

Artificial intelligence to reduce false alarms

At the heart of the system is an adaptive noise detection system that works with artificial intelligence. It analyzes and classifies sound patterns in order to differentiate between genuine burglary attempts and harmless everyday noises. At Heim und Handwerk, it is emphasized that this is precisely where one of the greatest advantages lies: False alarms should be avoided without reducing the sensitivity of the system. Tilting windows, normal opening or movements in the house do not trigger an alarm.

• Analysis of noise patterns using AI
• Distinguishing between everyday life and danger
• Minimization of false alarms

Retrofitting without structural alterations

The system is designed for easy retrofitting. No chiselling work or cable laying is required. The components are connected wirelessly and attached to windows and doors. A central control unit coordinates the sensors. An integrated emergency battery ensures that the system continues to function even in the event of a power failure.

• Radio-based installation
• No structural changes necessary
• Protection through emergency power supply

Security even when people are present

An important aspect is the usability when the building is occupied. Windows can remain tilted or open without triggering an alarm. The system only intervenes in the event of forced entry. In an emergency, the alarm is not only triggered outside, but also inside the house. The internal siren informs the residents immediately and provides an additional deterrent.

• Usable when absent and present
• No alarm during normal use
• Indoor siren for immediate warning

Classification of the system

At Heim+Handwerk, Qantum Alarm is presenting a security concept that takes classic alarm systems one step further. The focus on early warning, combined with intelligent noise analysis and simple installation, makes the system a practical solution for private households.

• Early warning principle instead of pure reaction
• Modern sensor technology with AI support
• A security solution suitable for everyday use
