Intrusion Alarm
Intruder alarms detect attempted intrusion or unauthorised entry into a building, room, site or secure installation and trigger a response.
Well-fitted and maintained intruder alarms can make organisations and individuals less likely to become victims of burglary, vandalism and other forms of attack.
