Home / Systems / Intrusion Detection

Early warning, built around your site.

Layered detection and alerting that helps protect people, property and critical spaces.

What it does

Intrusion Detection

An intrusion system is the building’s early warning: door contacts, motion detectors and glass-break sensors that alert the right people when someone enters where they should not. We design coverage around how the site is used so protection is strong without creating avoidable false alarms.

Typical scope

Designed around
the application.

No one-size-fits-all packages. The right components, coverage and management model depend on the site and the people using it.

Sensors and detectors

Door contacts, motion sensors and glass-break detectors placed for realistic coverage.

Panels and keypads

A central panel with straightforward arming controls and mobile access where appropriate.

Monitoring readiness

A cleanly programmed system prepared for professional monitoring and clear response procedures.

How we work

From walkthrough
to handoff.

A disciplined process keeps the design practical, the installation clean and the finished system easy to own.

01

Risk walkthrough

We identify entry points, vulnerable spaces and after-hours routines.

02

Sensor layout

Detection is placed for full coverage without false-alarm-prone guesswork.

03

Installation

Wired or wireless sensors are installed neatly and tested zone by zone.

04

Training

Your team learns arming, disarming and alarm response.

Common questions

Intrusion Detection FAQs

Is professional monitoring available?

AST can configure systems for professional monitoring, with procedures based on your contacts and response plan.

What about false alarms?

Thoughtful sensor selection, placement and training reduce the most common causes of false alarms.

Wired or wireless sensors?

Both have a place. Wired is ideal during construction; modern wireless can be effective in existing buildings.

Can I control the system from my phone?

Many current systems support authorized mobile arming, disarming and status review.
