Intrusion Detection and Central Station Monitoring

Intrusion Detection and Central Station Monitoring for Commercial Facilities

Unauthorized access, theft, and after-hours incidents present serious risks for today’s commercial, industrial, and institutional environments. Facility Protection Group delivers professionally designed intrusion detection and central station monitoring solutions that help organizations detect threats early, respond faster, and maintain safe, secure operations.

Our intrusion detection systems are engineered to integrate seamlessly with access control, video surveillance, and emergency communications—providing a layered, proactive security approach supported by 24/7 professional monitoring.

What Is Intrusion Detection?

Intrusion detection systems are designed to identify unauthorized entry or suspicious activity within a secured facility. These systems use a network of sensors and control devices to detect potential threats and immediately generate alerts when security boundaries are breached.

Common intrusion detection components include:

  • Door and window contacts
  • Motion detectors and interior sensors
  • Glass break detection
  • Perimeter protection devices
  • Alarm control panels and keypads

When properly designed and installed, intrusion detection systems provide continuous protection during non-business hours and controlled monitoring during occupied periods—reducing risk without disrupting daily operations.

How Central Station Monitoring Works

Central station monitoring provides the human response layer that transforms intrusion detection from a reactive alarm into a managed security service.

When an alarm event occurs:

  1. The intrusion system transmits a signal to a professional monitoring center
  2. Trained operators evaluate the alert in real time
  3. Alarm verification protocols are followed to reduce false dispatches
  4. Emergency responders or designated contacts are notified immediately

This process ensures alarm events are addressed quickly and appropriately—minimizing response time and preventing unnecessary disruptions caused by false alarms.

Benefits of Intrusion Detection and 24/7 Alarm Monitoring

A professionally monitored intrusion detection system delivers both operational and business-level advantages.

Operational Benefits

  • Faster response to security incidents
  • Reduced false alarms through verification protocols
  • Continuous protection without on-site security staff
  • Immediate escalation during emergencies

Business & Risk Management Benefits

  • Lower exposure to theft, vandalism, and liability
  • Improved compliance with insurance and safety requirements
  • Increased confidence for employees, tenants, and stakeholders
  • Scalable protection as facilities expand or change

Integrated Security for Smarter Threat Response

Intrusion detection is most effective when deployed as part of an integrated security ecosystem.

Facility Protection Group designs systems that integrate intrusion detection with:

  • Access control systems
  • Video surveillance and analytics

Frequently Asked Questions About Facility Protection Group

1. What industries does Facility Protection Group serve?

Facility Protection Group (FPG) supports organizations across education, government, healthcare, manufacturing, houses of worship, and other critical facilities. Each solution is tailored to meet the unique security and compliance needs of that environment.

2. What types of systems does FPG integrate?

We design and implement fully integrated low-voltage systems, including video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, and security communications. Our goal is to unify all these technologies into a single, manageable platform.

3. Do all systems need to be integrated or can they stand on their own?

Each system can operate independently of each other.  For small to mid-size applications this is fine.  However, if you want to control all of your systems from a single interface, that is a specialty that FPG provides to our clients that need a more centralized, cloud managed solution.

4. Does FPG provide both design and installation services?

Yes. Our team provides complete turn-key integration — from design and engineering to installation, commissioning, and staff training. We also offer ongoing maintenance and system support to ensure long-term reliability.

5. Can existing systems be upgraded or expanded?

Absolutely. FPG specializes in integrating new technology with your existing infrastructure. We often help clients modernize outdated systems, migrate to IP-based solutions, or expand coverage to additional facilities while protecting previous investments.

6. How can I get started or request a consultation?
