Re: How to secure an abandoned building that has pigeons, etc.?

I've seen buildings such as this have systems ranging from just a few basic
sensors to full blown everything.

And that is the thing with alarms. Depends on what the customer wants and
the company installing the system. There are many different customers and
many different alarm companies.

So far as bypassing systems... What they show on TV is nonsense - placing a
jumper or two in an electrical box. This is silly. Some companies
manufacture their own custom alarm panels. Few people would know about this.
Nothing is labeled. Even the employees working for these companies have
trouble understanding how these systems work let alone a burglar! Add to
this the variables of different customers and different companies, then no
telling what may be in a particular building!

Also sometimes there are paranoid customers or customers who are bound and
determined to catch whoever is doing something. These customers will spend a
small fortune on this and that. So add that to the mix as well.
