Choose the right approach

Match the detection model to your site, not the other way around.

Different sites face different threats. A vacant industrial unit needs perimeter detection and verified CCTV monitoring; a 24/7 logistics hub needs analytics-driven detection that won't overload operators with false alarms.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is commercial intruder detection?

Commercial intruder detection covers the technology and monitoring used to detect unauthorised access to a business site. It typically combines intruder alarms, CCTV with detection analytics, perimeter sensors and a monitoring pathway that escalates verified events to a keyholder or response service.

Do you supply or install systems?

Intruder Detect is an independent informational resource. We help commercial site operators understand their options and connect them with a suitable intruder detection specialist, monitoring centre or installer based on site type and requirements.

Is your guidance relevant in both the UK and the US?

Yes. The site uses UK terminology where appropriate (intruder alarms, CCTV monitoring, alarm receiving centres, keyholder response) and US terminology where appropriate (security alarms, video monitoring, central monitoring stations). Visit the UK or US sections for region-specific guidance.
