Intruder Systems
Break-ins at commercial properties can lead to significant financial losses, operational downtime, and compromised sensitive information. Protecting your business premises from unauthorized entry is crucial to maintaining safety and security. Unified provides advanced intruder alarm systems that proactively safeguard your assets, staff, and property. Our commercial intruder alarms act as both a strong deterrent to intruders and an immediate detection system - alerting you the moment a breach is attempted and ensuring a rapid response to any security incident.
Our intruder alarm solutions are tailored to your business needs and facility layout. We integrate cutting-edge detection devices such as PIR motion sensors, door/window contact sensors, glass-break detectors, and panic buttons at key points across your premises. These smart sensors, combined with loud sirens and strobe lights, create a robust shield around your property. Even in the middle of the night or during holidays, our system is actively watching over your building, providing you peace of mind that your company is protected 24/7.
Key Benefits of Unified’s Intruder Alarm Systems:
24/7 Monitoring & Response: Every intruder alarm can be linked to our always-on monitoring center. The instant an alarm is triggered, our control room receives an alert and can take action immediately. This around-the-clock vigilance means your business is never left unprotected, even outside of working hours.
Immediate Deterrence: The presence of a visible alarm system - including external sirens and flashing strobes - helps deter would-be burglars before they even attempt entry. If an intrusion is detected, the blaring alarm and lights will frighten off intruders and alert anyone nearby that something is wrong.
Advanced Detection Technology: We deploy modern, reliable sensors to cover all vulnerable entry points and areas within your premises. From motion detectors that cover open areas, to contact sensors on doors and windows, to vibration/shock sensors on glass - any unauthorised movement or break-in attempt will be swiftly detected. False alarms are minimised through high-quality equipment and professional installation, so you can trust that when an alarm sounds, it’s genuine.
Remote Alerts & Control: Stay connected to your security system at all times. With our intruder alarms, you can receive instant notifications on your smartphone if an alarm goes off. You’ll know immediately which zone triggered and why. You can also arm or disarm the system remotely via a secure mobile app or web portal - convenient for managing your alarm outside of business hours or allowing authorised staff/contractors in after-hours without compromising security.
Integrated Security Solution: Unified’s intruder alarms seamlessly integrate with our other security systems like CCTV and Access Control. This means your entire security setup works in unison. For example, if an alarm detects an intruder, integrated CCTV cameras can automatically focus on the area and start recording, while access control systems can lock down doors to contain the threat. The monitoring team can simultaneously view live video to verify alarms and even use an intercom or speaker system to warn intruders that police are en route. You get a centralised, unified security platform rather than isolated systems.
Professional Installation: All systems are installed by our team of certified security engineers. We design the system layout and device placement based on a thorough assessment of your premises, ensuring optimal coverage and minimal blind spots. Installation is carried out with minimal disruption to your operations and to high workmanship standards. Our engineers will also train you and your staff on using the system effectively - from arming/disarming procedures to managing user codes or mobile app access.
Regulatory Compliance: Unified is fully licensed by the Private Security Authority (PSA), and our intruder alarm installations adhere to all relevant Irish and European standards (such as EN 50131 for intruder alarm systems). We ensure your alarm system meets the requirements of insurers and authorities. All user actions can be logged and partitioned by access level, keeping your system compliant with data security and privacy guidelines.
Ongoing Maintenance & Support: Choosing Unified means you gain a security partner for the long term. We provide routine maintenance services to keep your intruder alarm in peak condition. This includes regular system health checks, sensor cleaning, battery replacements for wireless devices, and software updates. Our support team is on call 24/7 in case of any technical issues or alarm activations - if something goes wrong, we’ll have an expert engineer available to assist. With proactive maintenance, we greatly reduce the chance of false alarms and ensure your protection is never compromised.
Smart Detection & Crime Prevention
At the heart of every intruder alarm system is a network of intelligent detectors working together to spot trouble before it escalates. Unified uses state-of-the-art detection technology engineered for commercial environments. We will strategically install perimeter sensors around your building’s entry points - these include door contacts, window sensors, and glass-break detectors that trigger if someone tries to force entry or smash their way in. Inside your premises, PIR motion detectors and/or dual-technology sensors (combining motion and heat detection) watch over rooms, corridors, and other sensitive areas to catch any unauthorised movement. For businesses with outdoor yards or car parks, we can also deploy external motion beams or fence detection systems as a first line of defense, so intruders are detected before they reach your building.
All these measures focus on the principle that prevention is best. By detecting intruders early (at the fence line, door, or window), our system activates alarms and bright strobe lights immediately to startle and drive away the intruder. Simultaneously, an alert is sent to the monitoring station and to you via the mobile app. Often, the combination of a piercing siren and swift response is enough to stop the crime in its tracks. In addition, our systems are designed to be resilient against tampering - with features like anti-tamper switches on devices and secure, encrypted communication back to the alarm panel. This means saboteurs cannot easily disable the alarm without triggering it. By implementing comprehensive detection and robust prevention tactics, Unified’s intruder systems dramatically reduce the likelihood of your business becoming a victim of burglary or vandalism.
Seamless Integration with CCTV & Access Control
One major advantage of choosing Unified is our ability to deliver integrated security solutions. We can combine your intruder alarm with other security systems so they operate in harmony rather than in isolation. For example, if you also have a CCTV system from us, we can set up triggers such that when an alarm sensor goes off, the nearest CCTV camera automatically pans to that area and begins recording high-definition footage. This not only provides valuable video evidence but also helps monitoring personnel or guards visually verify what’s happening in real time. Likewise, integration with access control or electronic door locks allows your intruder alarm to automatically secure doors when an intrusion is detected - containing a threat to one area or preventing a burglar from moving freely through the building.
Integration is managed through a unified platform, meaning you can oversee alarms, cameras, and door controls all from a single interface if desired. This can simplify your operations: for instance, an authorized manager could log into one system to arm the alarm, view live camera feeds, and lock doors as they leave for the night, instead of dealing with separate apps or panels for each. Our integrated approach also improves your situational awareness during an incident - you get a complete picture of the event (sensors plus visuals) rather than just an alarm bell. Ultimately, a cohesive security ecosystem amplifies protection: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Unified has the expertise to design and implement these integrations seamlessly, giving you a smarter, more powerful security infrastructure for your business.
Professional Installation & Ongoing Maintenance
When you partner with Unified, you’re getting more than just equipment - you’re getting expert service from start to finish. Our process begins with a comprehensive survey and risk assessment of your premises. We identify vulnerable entry points, understand your operational routines, and listen to any specific concerns you have. Using this information, our security experts design a custom intruder alarm system plan that provides maximum coverage and convenience for your business. We choose reliable, high-quality alarm hardware from leading manufacturers (sensors, control panels, keypads, sirens, etc.) that meet industry standards and insurance requirements. On installation day, our certified engineers work efficiently to install the system with minimal disruption. Cables are neatly run (or wireless devices strategically placed) to preserve your workspace aesthetics. Before we consider the job done, we thoroughly test every sensor and device, ensure the monitoring connection is live, and walk you through operating the system. You and your staff will be trained on how to arm/disarm the alarm, use duress codes or panic buttons, and manage any integrated features like the mobile app or access control linkage.
Our commitment to your security doesn’t end at installation. Ongoing maintenance and support are integral to keeping your intruder alarm system effective long-term. Unified offers preventative maintenance plans wherein we periodically inspect and service your alarm system. During a maintenance visit, our technicians will check sensor alignments, test backup batteries, verify communication signals to the monitoring center, and perform any firmware updates on the control panel or devices. These routine check-ups catch potential issues early and ensure everything continues to run smoothly. Should you ever experience a problem or have a question, our support team is just a phone call away - 24 hours a day. We also provide rapid emergency call-out service: if your alarm system ever malfunctions or if there’s an after-hours incident requiring on-site attention, we can dispatch a qualified engineer to assist promptly. With Unified’s maintenance and support, you can rest assured that your intruder alarm system will always perform at its best, year after year.
