The present invention is a component for an alarm system that may serve as an active component or an inactive, or decoy, component. The component is a small casing mountable in a visible manner that indicates activation with a flashing LED. Inside the component, the circuitry necessary to flash the LED and possibly monitoring devices, depending on the component's status as an active or inactive component. Active components also have security monitoring devices contained within the casing that monitor the surrounding environment through an access port. When a situation in the environment is registered by the device, it sends a signal to the alarm system of which it is a part. As added utility, the active and inactive components are outwardly indistinguishable, thus allowing the inactive components to serve as decoys either within a subscriber's alarm system or with non-subscriber's property, thus fulfilling a need for a high-tech version of the posted sign deterrent used in the alarm system industry today.
