Intrusion Detection

Protect the Facility When No One Is Supposed to Be There

Security requirements change after the business closes.

Doors that remain unlocked during operating hours become perimeter protection. Restricted areas may need additional monitoring. Warehouses, offices, production spaces, storage areas, and exterior openings all become part of the after-hours security strategy. Veltek designs commercial intrusion systems around those realities.

After-Hours Protection

More Than Door Contacts

An effective intrusion system protects more than a single perimeter opening. The right combination depends on how the facility operates, what must be protected, and what happens after hours.

02 Detect activity inside
03 Communicate the alarm

Layers of Detection

Detection Across the Facility

An effective intrusion system may involve different types of protection across the same property. Veltek selects and places devices around the actual risks and operating conditions of the facility.

Perimeter Doors

Monitor exterior openings that become part of the building perimeter after hours.

Interior Areas

Add detection within spaces where movement should not occur while the facility is unattended.

Motion Detection

Provide another layer of protection beyond individual door and window contacts.

Glass Protection

Address vulnerable glazed openings where appropriate for the environment.

Restricted Rooms

Protect areas containing sensitive equipment, inventory, records, or operations.

Overhead Doors

Include loading, warehouse, and service openings in the after-hours security strategy.

Specialty Detection

Use specialized devices where ordinary contacts or motion detection are not enough.

Duress Devices

Support locations where employees may need a discreet way to initiate an alarm.

Alarm Communication

Provide the communication path needed to deliver alarm events to the appropriate destination.

Built Around Daily Use

Design Around the People Using the System

A security system that is difficult to arm or constantly generates unnecessary alarms eventually becomes a system people work around.

Connected Security

Integrate When It Makes Sense

Intrusion detection can also work alongside other security technologies. That can give customers better context when an alarm occurs.

Access Control Coordinate authorized users and controlled areas with the intrusion strategy.
Video Surveillance Use video to help provide context around alarm activity and investigate what occurred.
Alarm Monitoring Connect supported systems with professional monitoring and response capabilities.
Remote Notification Deliver supported alarm information to the people responsible for the facility.

Existing Alarm System Giving You Trouble?

Veltek can evaluate existing commercial intrusion systems, troubleshoot recurring issues, add devices, upgrade communications, and determine whether older equipment can remain in service.
