A cabinet is a cabinet-like container that is customary in security technology and is used to accommodate certain objects that are to be protected from unauthorized use or misuse.
A Umschrank usually serves a general and open-side monitoring of a storage unit or a so-called hazard warning center , where the goods or device access can not be removed otherwise. The object to be protected is converted or built over with a cabinet.
Use for monitoring secure storage units
When monitoring secure storage units, such as B. a safe , a cabinet enables the effective use of relatively inexpensive and / or additional alarm systems , such as motion detectors , structure-borne sound detectors or light barriers . The advantage is that only a relatively small and precisely defined individual object (enclosure) has to be monitored or secured. Another advantage is that the type, construction and type of the safe (safe) remain hidden from unauthorized persons.
Enclosures are often used, particularly in areas with frequent traffic, because this enables economical security technology and also prevents or reduces false alarms . A well-known example of this is the housings of ATMs that enclose a safe, an industrial PC and various special devices.
Used for monitoring hazard alarm centers
A cabinet is also often used in hazard alarm control panels , such as fire alarm control panels (BMZ) , intruder alarm systems (EMA) and building services control centers . A well-known application example for a very small enclosure is the housing of manual call points .
In particular, technical control and monitoring devices, emergency alarms and telephones, emergency manuals, access keys, etc. are housed, combined and protected against unauthorized use in the cabinets of hazard alarm centers. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) recommends, among other things, the placement of steel cabinets to be secured in enclosures, if a so-called capacitive detector is to be used as monitoring technology.
