Commercial Intrusion Alarm Systems

An intrusion alarm tells you when someone enters a building or a yard without permission. We install panels, keypads and sensors inside, and perimeter detection outside, set up so you know which zone went off.

Scope of work

Each part of the system, and what we do on it.

Scope of work: intrusion alarms
PartWhat we do
PanelsAlarm panels, keypads and zone expanders, with zones, users and arming schedules set up
DoorsDoor contacts, and overhead-door contacts on roll-up and dock doors
Open areasMotion detectors placed to cover the space without seeing heaters or vents
Panic buttonsPanic, hold-up and duress buttons at reception, cash areas and docks
PerimeterLong-range motion detectors, photobeams and lasers across yards, driveways and gate openings
Fence detectionDistributed acoustic sensing: a fibre optic cable along the fence that senses someone climbing or cutting it
Access integrationAlarm zones and doors managed together, so a valid credential can disarm on the way in
MonitoringProfessional monitoring available through a monitoring partner

The final scope follows the drawings, the site walk and what each trade supplies.

Protecting a yard or fence line

A large yard usually needs layers. Long-range motion detectors, photobeams and lasers cover open ground and the openings a fence can't close. Distributed acoustic sensing covers the fence itself.

With distributed acoustic sensing, a fibre optic cable runs along the fence from one end to the other. The system senses the vibration of someone climbing or cutting the fence, and it is tuned on site so wind and small animals don't set it off.

Questions

Can you work on an alarm system that is already installed?
Yes. We service, expand and take over existing systems, including mixed-brand sites and installs someone else left unfinished.
Do you monitor alarms?
Professional monitoring is available through a monitoring partner. We install and set up the system, and the monitoring company watches it.
