Commercial Intrusion Detection & Alarm Systems
Detect. Deter. Defend. Sensors, video alarm verification and 24/7 monitoring that catch a break-in while it is happening and deliver a verified response instead of another false alarm.
Intrusion Detection and Alarm Systems for Commercial Facilities of all Sizes
A commercial intrusion detection system is a burglar alarm that has grown up. Contacts on doors and windows, motion and glass break sensors inside, thermal detection and sensor-equipped fencing along the perimeter, all reporting to a monitored platform that knows the difference between a delivery driver at the loading dock and someone cutting through the fence at two in the morning. It escalates only when something is genuinely wrong, across one building or a hundred sites from a single view.
Whether you are replacing an aging alarm panel, adding perimeter coverage to a system you already run, or securing a site for the first time, Prosegur designs, installs and monitors systems built around your property, your operating hours and your risk. Alarms are verified before anyone is dispatched, using live video, audio, or an officer on site, so your team and local law enforcement respond to real events rather than to the roughly 95 percent of alarm calls nationally that turn out to be false. Fewer false dispatches means lower fines, less wasted staff time, and a faster response on the one activation that actually matters.
Why Businesses Invest in Intrusion Detection
Real-Time Threat Detection
Intrusion detection systems provide real-time monitoring and alerts for unauthorized access, suspicious activity, or security breaches, enabling quick responses to potential threats.
Faster, Verified Response
Automated alerts allow for immediate action, whether it's notifying on-site personnel, contacting law enforcement, or activating pre-set security measures like locking doors or triggering alarms.
24/7 Alarm Monitoring
These systems ensure continuous protection, even during non-business hours, holidays, or when your premises are unoccupied.
Fewer False Alarms and Fines
Advanced sensors and video verification separate genuine threats from harmless activity, which matters more than it used to. Many cities now fine businesses for repeated false alarms, and some will only dispatch police to a verified alarm. Chronic false alarms can cost you your alarm permit, and with it your police response.
Our Intrusion Detection Systems & Services
Intrusion Detection Systems
Detection works in layers. The goal is to know that someone is on the property before they reach anything worth stealing, and to know it accurately enough that the alert means something.
- Entry points: magnetic door and window contacts, glass break sensors for windows and glass doors
- Interior spaces: motion detection and infrared sensors that track movement in designated zones
- Perimeter: thermal detection and sensor-equipped fencing that flag a boundary breach before entry
- Duress and hold-up: panic buttons for staff at counters, cash rooms and reception
Video and Audio Alarm Verification
Most alarm activations are false, and cities have stopped absorbing the cost. Dozens now fine businesses for repeat false alarms, require a paid permit before police will dispatch at all, or will only send an officer to a verified alarm. Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Seattle and Detroit all operate on that basis.
Verification is how you stay out of that system. Before anyone is dispatched, our team confirms what actually triggered the alarm using live video, recorded clips or audio from the site. False activations get resolved without a police call. Real events get escalated with confirmation already attached, which moves them up the dispatch priority queue instead of down it.
- How we verify: live and recorded video, audio verification, or a guard dispatched to the site
- What it saves: fewer false alarm fines, fewer wasted response hours, no risk to your alarm permit
- What it buys: verified alarms are prioritized by law enforcement, so response is faster when it counts
Rapid Response and 24/7 Alarm Monitoring
When an alarm is verified, response is already in motion. Our iSOC monitors sites around the clock, notifies your on-site team and local law enforcement, and can dispatch security officers where a physical presence is required. For large or remote sites, robotic and drone response can reach a perimeter breach faster than a person can walk it.
- Alerting: real-time notification to on-site personnel, our monitoring team and law enforcement
- Perimeter events: outdoor breach detection with immediate escalation, day or night
- After the event: detailed incident reports for follow-up, insurance and pattern analysis
Alarm System Installation and Integration
Our licensed technicians design around your building's actual layout and risk profile, then tie the alarm system into the video surveillance and access control infrastructure you already run. A tripped sensor pulls the matching camera view. A forced door raises a verified alarm rather than an unverified one.
- Design and installation: system layout matched to your property, professionally installed and commissioned
- Integration: connects to existing cameras, access control and monitoring platforms
- Built to grow: add zones, sensors and sites without replacing the system
System Health Monitoring and Maintenance
Keep your intrusion detection system performing at its best with proactive health monitoring services. Our team ensures every component operates reliably, giving you peace of mind around the clock. A sensor that stopped reporting three weeks ago is not a maintenance ticket. It is an unmonitored zone nobody knows about.
Key Benefits of Health Monitoring:
- Continuous diagnostics: faults surfaced and resolved before they become gaps in coverage
- Remote updates and resolution: firmware and patches applied without a truck roll
- Reporting: system health and maintenance visibility on a regular schedule

Intrusion Detection FAQ
Intrusion detection technology uses sensors, cameras, and software to monitor for unauthorized access or suspicious activity. When a potential threat is detected, the system sends alerts to security personnel or automatically triggers a response, such as locking doors or activating alarms.
It protects your property, assets, and employees by identifying and responding to potential security threats in real time. This reduces the risk of theft, vandalism, and other security breaches.
There are several types, including perimeter detection, motion sensors, door and window sensors, glass break detectors, and video analytics systems. Many solutions integrate multiple technologies for comprehensive protection.
Yes, intrusion detection systems can be tailored to fit your business's unique layout, industry requirements, and security needs. A professional security provider can assess your property and recommend the best solutions.
Absolutely. Most intrusion detection systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with other security components, such as surveillance cameras, access control systems, and monitoring platforms.
Yes, intrusion detection systems provide round-the-clock monitoring, ensuring your business is protected at all times, even during non-business hours.
Depending on the system setup, an alert is sent to the security team or monitoring service. The system may also activate alarms, notify authorities, or trigger automated security measures like locking access points.
Start by assessing your security needs, considering factors such as the size of your property, industry risks, and existing systems. Partnering with a trusted security provider ensures you get expert guidance and a solution tailored to your business.
