ATSS SURFACE MOUNT SWITCH
The surface mount is as its name implies, mounted on the surface of the door/window with wiring exposed. A door contact is the most basic of alarm triggers.
These are just magnetic strips that are in contact while the door is closed but break the circuit when the door is opened. Then it triggers the alarm.
Surface Mount Magnetic Sensor are used on closed circuit alarm systems. These devices work through a magnets, so when the magnets are lines up, the switch is closed. These types of devices are meant to be an easy to install option for windows and doors that open. Below are the pros and cons of these devices and alternatives to using them.
Pros of Surface Mount Magnetic Door Contacts
Ease of installation: These devices are typically mounted through an adhesive that sticks to the door and the frame. They can also be mounted with wood or sheet screws depending upon your door or window you plan on installing it on.
Cheap: These devices are normally very cheap, the biggest cost with them is the installation and wiring if they are used on hardwired alarm systems.
Reliable wireless devices an option: There are reliable wireless surface mounts that are more expensive than the hardwired ones, but can allow you to quickly install them without running wires and paying someone house of installation fees.
Cons of Surface Mount Magnetic Door Contacts
Visible: They are not aesthetically pleasing to the eye in residential settings.
Subject to tampering: Since they are visible, it makes the more subject to tampering with. It can also alert burglars of the type of contact sensors you use and they may be able to find a window or door without them since they know they are not mounted inside of the door or windows.
Alternatives
Since the biggest downfalls of these devices are that they are not aesthetically pleasing and are subject to tampering there is a device called a recessed contact. This device woks pretty much the same way as the surface contact but the magnets are installed inside the frame and the door.

VIBRATION SENSOR-ATSS
Most of the sensors detect opening of a door, window or breakage of glass or movement of human beings. But it is equally important to detect if there is a break-in attempted through walls, ceiling or floors. This can be detected with the help of vibration Detectors.
The detector operates on the principle of resonance of frequency. When the external impulse frequency due to hammering or chiseling matches with the resonance frequency of the sensing element, the alarm is triggered off. False alarms are avoided with proper setting of the intensity controller. The vibration detector can be fitted to windows, door frames, walls, ceilings etc.
A typical vibration detector is effective up to 2.5 meters depending upon its location and the material to which it is fixed. Each detector can set to its own optimum level of sensitivity. There should be a sensor for every 20 ft of wall accessible to the intruder. Sensitivity should be adjusted to suit local vibration requirement.

ATSS PIR MOTION SENSOR
Passive Infrared (PIR) Motion Sensors protect space by ‘looking’ for changes in infrared (heat) energy levels caused by movement of an intruder.
The passive infrared detectors are passive devices. i.e., they do not transmit any form of energy. When a person enters and moves within the detecting zone, his body which is at its normal temperature of 98.6 degree F., radiates more (or less) thermal energy than the surroundings and such minute difference in thermal energy is detected by the PIR.
In simple words, PIR keeps a picture of t
