Capacitance proximity sensors detect changes in electrical capacitance, which can be influenced by environmental conditions. Changes in relative humidity can affect the dielectric properties of the air or materials nearby, potentially causing false alarms or degraded performance.

B (Temperature) and C (Air movement) typically affect other sensor types (e.g., infrared or ultrasonic).

D (End-of-line resistance) applies to alarm circuit supervision, not proximity sensing.

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a proactive design philosophy that uses environmental elements to reduce crime opportunities. One of its core principles is natural surveillance, which involves designing spaces so that legitimate users can easily observe their surroundings. This increases perceived risk for offenders and discourages criminal activity.

A (Balanced systems), B (Protection in depth), and D (Layered defense) are principles used in security system design but not specific to CPTED.

A felony is a serious criminal offense that is punishable by death or imprisonment for more than one year. This classification contrasts with misdemeanors, which are less serious offenses typically punishable by fines or imprisonment of less than one year.

Misdemeanor (D) is a lesser offense.

Corruption (A) can be a felony but is a specific type of offense.

Misguidance (C) is not a recognized legal category.
