Intruder detection
Hub of detection technologies, monitoring options and site-specific guidance.
CCTV detection
Motion, human and vehicle detection, virtual tripwires and video verification.
Perimeter security
Fence sensors, beam systems, radar, thermal and buried-cable detection.
CCTV monitoring
Remote, alarm-triggered and 24/7 monitored CCTV with operator intervention.
Alarm monitoring
ARC / central monitoring station pathways, verified alarms, keyholder response.
Intruder alarms
Wired, wireless and hybrid commercial alarm systems with monitoring options.
Video analytics
AI-driven detection: line crossing, loitering, object detection, LPR and more.
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.
Detection approaches at a glance
A quick comparison of the most common commercial detection models. Suitability depends on site type, operating hours, response model and risk profile.
| Feature | Intruder alarm | Monitored CCTV | Perimeter detection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary detection | Internal door/motion sensors | Camera + analytics or operator | Fence, beam, radar or buried cable |
| Verification | Sequential confirmation or audio | Live operator visual | Camera or sensor pairing |
| Response pathway | ARC → keyholder / police | Operator intervention → escalation | Audio challenge → CCTV verify → response |
| Best suited to | Occupied premises, retail, offices | Industrial, remote, high-risk sites | Large outdoor sites, energy, logistics |

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.
