What are some potential weaknesses/vulnerabilities to electronic security systems?
Other than power outages or cutting power to the system, what are some weaknesses that could be exploited and how could they be fixed/avoided? I’m talking things like alarm force, Wireless Security systems, electronic locks.
Assuming your system is connected to a monitoring station, there is always the possibility of human error on the dispatcher’s end, and of someone onsite knowing your password and saying “Everything’s OK, the password is X, no need for police.”
Sometimes if your emergency dispatcher is especially bright (not), they might allow themselves to be persuaded that the person onsite is OK to be there, even though they don’t have a password. It’s rare and not correct protocol, but I have seen it happen occasionally (“Well, they said they were a cop, so I didn’t dispatch on it!”
Cutting power to the system doesn’t usually disable the system. All systems nowadays have battery backups, and when it kicks on, it will send a signal to the dispatch office and the alarm system’s owner will get a phone call to let them know. Cutting the battery will also send a signal to the dispatch station to let them know the system has been powered off. Even cutting phone lines will send a signal to the dispatchers, in some cases.
Alarm systems in homes, in my opinion, are more trouble than they’re worth. You couldn’t pay me enough to have one!
