Intrusion Detection and Alarm Systems
Why Intrusion Systems Matter
When an unauthorized person enters your property, time is critical. ParSecurity designs a network of intrusion detection sensors around your business and its needs, which may include door contacts, motion detectors, glass-break sensors and other devices that cover your entry points.
Intrusion Detection
Door contacts, motion detectors and glass-break sensors connect to an on-site alarm panel that detects when someone enters your property.
Alarm Monitoring
When the panel detects a problem, it sends a signal by phone line or wireless radio to our Central Station, where trained operators follow your prescribed action plan. Monitoring requires an active monitoring service.
Video Verification
With cameras added to your system, Central Station operators can review video after an alarm to help confirm a real intrusion before taking action.
How It Works
Three Parts, One System
It helps to know how the pieces differ. Intrusion detection is the equipment on your property that senses a break-in. Alarm monitoring is the service that receives the alarm signal and responds according to your action plan. Video verification adds cameras so operators can see what happened and help confirm whether the alarm is real.
Video verification is increasingly used with commercial alarm systems because it can help reduce false alarms and give responders more information. Alarm response requirements vary by city and police department, so ask us what applies at your location.
Central Station
Alarm Monitoring
Our Central Station provides 24/7 alarm monitoring. When an alarm signal is received, an operator follows the action plan you set up with us, such as contacting you or the appropriate responders. For customers with cameras, operators can also review video after an alarm to help verify the event.
