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:
- The intrusion system transmits a signal to a professional monitoring center
- Trained operators evaluate the alert in real time
- Alarm verification protocols are followed to reduce false dispatches
- 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.

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
- Mass notification and emergency communications
This integration enables visual verification, coordinated response workflows, and centralized management—allowing security teams to see, assess, and respond to threats from a single platform.
