active protection for buildings, homes and sensitive areas
Alarm systems
Intrusion alarm systems are designed to prevent and report break-ins or unauthorized access in real time, increasing the security of properties and people. They can be installed in residential, commercial, industrial, or public spaces, and are custom-designed based on the risk level and characteristics of the site to be protected.
1.1 External perimeter systems
These devices protect the external perimeter of the property, creating a virtual barrier that signals the presence of intruders before they approach the building.
- Active infrared barriers: they form invisible beams between two aligned modules; the interruption of a beam triggers an alarm.
- Microwave barriers: Create a volumetric field between the transmitter and receiver; best suited for large open areas.
- Buried sensors (pressure or geophonic): invisible, they detect weight or movement on the ground. Microphone cables on fences: they detect vibrations or climbing attempts.
Typical applications: villas, industrial warehouses, power plants, guarded car parks, military areas.
1.2 Internal Perimeter Systems
Installed on doors, windows, skylights or frames, they signal the opening or tampering of accesses.
- Magnetic contacts: composed of a magnet and a reed sensor; they activate the alarm when the circuit is interrupted.
- Vibration or inertial sensors: mounted on glass or wall surfaces, they detect impacts, vibrations or forced entry attempts.
- Roller shutter sensors: monitor the abnormal movement of metal shutters or motorized roller shutters.
Typical applications: homes, shops, offices, museums, jewelry stores.
1.3 Internal Volumetric Systems
These sensors monitor the internal volumes of the building and detect the presence of moving bodies.
- Passive infrared (PIR) sensors: detect thermal changes in the field of view caused by the passage of people.
- Microwave sensors: emit waves and detect changes in reflection (Doppler); more sensitive but also more prone to interference.
- Dual-technology sensors (PIR + microwave): combine both technologies to reduce false alarms.
- Sensors with integrated camera: activate recording or sending images in the event of an alarm.
Typical applications: server rooms, archives, high-security environments, residential interiors.
1.4 Burglar-proof Systems and Vibration Detectors
- Vibration sensors on glass or walls: detect impacts or punctures.
- Acoustic glass break detectors: They pick up the characteristic frequencies of shattering glass.
- Opening sensors on safes or armored cabinets
Designed to protect high-value areas or objects, they detect localized break-in attempts.
Typical applications: banks, jewelry stores, pharmacies, sensitive archives.
Additional Features and Integration
- Programmable alarm control panels: intelligent zone management, event logging, remote access.
- Connection to monitoring stations or notifications via app/SMS.
- Integration with video surveillance, access control, and home automation systems.
- Anti-masking feature to prevent sensor obscuration.
