Abstract: There is provided a security alarm system. The system includes an RFID tag mounted on a first of a window/door and framing thereof. The system includes a sensor with an RFID reader mounted on a second of the window/door and the framing. A distance between the sensor and the RFID tag varies as the window/door is opened. The sensor includes a signal range adjuster actuation of which alters the range within which the sensor can read the RFID tag. The system includes a control panel. The sensor signals the control panel to trigger an alarm when the distance between the sensor and the RFID tag increases beyond a threshold distance so altered and the sensor cannot read the RFID tag.

Abstract: There is provide a method of installing a security alarm system in a building having one of a doorbell chime, a smoke detector, a carbon monoxide detector and a thermostat in an existing location. The method includes disconnecting the one of the doorbell chime, the smoke detector, the carbon monoxide detector and the thermostat from existing wiring thereof. The method includes removing from the existing location the one of the doorbell chime, the smoke detector, the carbon monoxide detector and the thermostat. The method includes installing in the existing location a security control panel. The method includes connecting the existing wiring to the security control panel so as to receive power therefrom.

Abstract: There is provided a method of arranging a security alarm system on a window/door and framing. The system includes an object and a sensor which is capable of detecting the object within a predetermined range. The method includes positioning a first of the sensor and object on a first of the window/door and framing. The method includes opening the window/door to a threshold distance which facilitates ventilation and inhibits an intruder from passing through the window/door. The method includes positioning a second of the sensor and object along a second of the window/door and framing such that the sensor is able to detect the object as the window/door is opened up to but not past the threshold distance. There is also provided in combination, a window/door, framing extending about the window/door and a security alarm system coupled to the window/door and framing in the manner described above.

Abstract: There is provided a method of installing a magnetic proximity sensor including positioning the magnetic field sensor in a desired location and positioning a magnet in a desired location relative to the magnetic field sensor, with an indicator of the sensor continuing to be turned on during the predetermined period of time when the magnetic field generated by the magnet is sensed by the magnetic field sensor, and being turned off during the predetermined period of time when the magnetic field generated by the magnet is not sensed by the magnetic field sensor. The indicator light thus assists in determining proper relative positioning of the magnet and the magnetic field sensor. If after the predetermined period of time more time is needed to install the magnetic proximity sensor, the method includes initiates another predetermined period of time by removing and replacing a lid of the magnetic proximity sensor.

Abstract: A security alarm system comprises an RFID tag mounted on a window, a sensor including an RFID reader mounted on the window, and a control panel. A distance between the sensor and the RFID tag increases when the window is opened. The sensor signals the control panel to trigger an alarm when the distance, between the sensor and the RFID increases beyond a threshold distance and the sensor cannot read the RFID tag.
