English to Spanish translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Automation & Robotics / surveillance system
English term or phrase: trip wires
In this context, I do not really know if it talks about a "physical" "interruptor/pulsador":

CONTEXT: " Many commercial surveillance systems target a small number of susceptible areas in a business and make use of “hot spots” or “trip wires” to identify activities of interest. "

ATTEMPT: "Muchos de los sistemas de vigilancia comerciales tienen como objetivo un número reducido de áreas sensibles en un negocio y hacen uso de “puntos calientes” o “pulsador de emergencia” para identificar las actividades de interés."

Thanks!

cuerda or luz láser de trampa


Explanation:
http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=tri...

Una trampa o sistema de alarma puede ser tan simple como una cuerda atada a una lata de aluminio llena de piedras. Cuando el pie de alguien tropieza con la cuerda, la lata cae y hace ruido, informándote la presencia de un intruso. Un sistema de alarma que use láser hace lo mismo para alertarte de un intruso, sólo que de manera más lujosa. Pero no dejes que el adjetivo "lujosa" te desanime, los componentes son fáciles de conseguir y no tan costosos.

Dos de los elementos son simples reflectores, los otros dos son el emisor y el receptor de láser. El haz de luz rebota en los espejos y llega desde el emisor al receptor. Si el haz se ve interrumpido suena la alarma y un ejército de fornidos seguratas se te echará encima
