SYSTEM / INTRUSION DETECTION

INTRUSION DETECTION / THE BASICS

INTRUSION DETECTION / WHY IT MATTERS
01
KNOW WHEN AN ENTRY OPENS
Monitor important doors, windows, gates, and other openings for activity when they should be secured.
02
DETECT MOVEMENT WHERE IT SHOULDN’T BE
Motion detection can provide another layer of awareness inside important areas of the property.
03
PROTECT MORE THAN THE FRONT DOOR
Design detection around vulnerable areas, interior spaces, perimeters, critical rooms, and other parts of the property that matter.
04
GET THE RIGHT SIGNAL TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE
A useful alarm system needs a clear plan for what happens when an event occurs. Alerts may need to reach owners, managers, monitoring services, or other appropriate contacts.
05
CONNECT ALARMS WITH THE REST OF SECURITY
Intrusion detection becomes more useful when alarm events can work alongside video surveillance, access control, monitoring, and other security systems.
INTRUSION DETECTION / BUILT RIGHT
THE PROPERTY
Understand the entrances, windows, interior spaces, perimeter, traffic patterns, and areas that actually need protection.
ENTRY POINTS
Determine which doors, windows, gates, and other openings should be monitored.
SENSOR SELECTION
Different situations may call for door contacts, window contacts, motion detection, glass-break detection, perimeter devices, panic devices, or other appropriate detection methods.
PLACEMENT
Sensor location can affect coverage, reliability, and the likelihood of unnecessary alarms.
ZONES & AREAS
Organize detection around how different parts of the property are used and when they need to be secured.
USER WORKFLOW
Determine who arms and disarms the system, when areas are occupied, and how authorized users interact with it.
