Burglar Intrusion Alarms
Our burglar intrusion alarms use anti-defeat Magnasphere sensors and intelligent ProSeries motion detectors that detect forced entry attempts. Systems automatically alert our monitoring center while minimizing false alarms from pets or environmental factors. Commercial installations include anti-jamming technology and silent holdup alarms for employee safety.
Video Surveillance
We install high-resolution video surveillance systems with remote viewing capabilities via smartphones or computers. Our systems include motion-activated recording, live feeds, and three daily health checks to ensure operational readiness. Commercial systems integrate with access control and intrusion detection for comprehensive security.
Fire Alarm Systems
Authorized dealer of VES and Hochiki fire alarms, we install code-compliant smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide detection systems. Our fire alarms integrate with sprinkler supervision and temperature monitoring to prevent water damage. Systems automatically alert our monitoring center and local fire departments upon activation.
Access Control Systems
Our access control systems offer swipe-card, proximity card, keypad, and biometric entry options. Systems track employee access times and locations while preventing unauthorized entry. Integration with our monitoring center enables real-time alerts for security breaches and remote system management from secured servers.
True Digital Radio Monitoring
Our proprietary SecureNet and FireNet systems use dedicated digital radio frequencies that cannot be jammed or disabled by cutting phone lines. This technology ensures reliable signal transmission for security, fire, and environmental monitoring systems, providing uninterrupted protection for residential and commercial properties.
