RCDD · Question #246

Which of the following is NOT a type of intrusion detection system sensor?

The correct answer is A. Time-auxiliary. Time-auxiliary is a fabricated sensor category and does not exist as a recognized intrusion detection system sensor type, while all other choices are established IDS sensor technologies.

Why each option

Time-auxiliary is a fabricated sensor category and does not exist as a recognized intrusion detection system sensor type, while all other choices are established IDS sensor technologies.

ATime-auxiliaryCorrect

Time-auxiliary is not a recognized classification of IDS sensor in electronic security systems. It is a nonsensical term that does not correspond to any physical detection principle used in intrusion detection technology.

BCapacitance

Capacitance sensors are real IDS sensors that detect changes in an electric field caused by an intruder approaching or touching a protected object or area.

CVibration

Vibration sensors are a legitimate IDS sensor type that detect mechanical disturbances or impacts transmitted through walls, floors, or safes.

DElectromechanical

Electromechanical sensors are a foundational IDS sensor type that use switches and contacts to detect the opening of doors, windows, or other physical barriers.

EThermal

Thermal sensors, including passive infrared (PIR) detectors, are a standard IDS sensor type that detect heat signatures emitted by intruders moving through a protected space.
