A Tamper Alarm is a detection mechanism that signals when someone attempts to interfere with, open, or disable security equipment such as a camera, door contact, control panel, or enclosure. By alerting operators to physical tampering in real time, it protects the integrity of the security system itself and forms part of a data center's intrusion detection and monitoring layers.
