Door & Window Contacts
Monitor protected openings and specialty doors with appropriate contact types.
COMMERCIAL INTRUSION DETECTION
Know When Something Is Wrong. Know What Happens Next.
SSP designs commercial intrusion detection around the way your facility actually operates, from perimeter and opening protection to interior motion, duress, alarm communications, monitoring, and multi-site support.

FROM SIGNAL TO RESPONSE
What Happens After a Device Trips Matters Just as Much
An effective system carries a reliable signal through a clear response path.
1
Detect
A protected zone changes state or a user initiates duress.
→
2
Communicate
The panel sends the event through the configured network or cellular path.
→
3
Add Context
Video, access events, zone information, and site procedures can support verification.
→
4
Respond
Monitoring, notification, and escalation procedures guide the next action.
DETECTION TOOLKIT
Choose the Right Device for the Risk
There is no universal “best sensor.” SSP selects devices based on environment, distance, traffic, temperature, operating conditions, and the type of activity that needs to be detected.
Interior Motion
PIR, dual-technology, long-range, and application-specific motion detection.
Glass-Break Detection
Detect acoustic patterns associated with breaking protected glass when appropriate.
Perimeter Detection
Extend coverage to exterior approaches, yards, fences, and exposed operating areas.
Duress & Panic
Fixed or wireless options for discreetly initiating an alarm or requesting assistance.
Alarm Communications
Use appropriate network and cellular paths for dependable event transmission.
AREA-BASED PROTECTION
Your Entire Building Does Not Have to Be Armed the Same Way
Commercial facilities often run on different schedules. Area and partition control lets closed spaces stay protected while approved users continue working elsewhere.
✓ Arm offices after staff leave while production remains active
✓ Keep 24/7 areas available without disarming unrelated zones
✓ Create separate protection for pharmacies, records, storage, or cash handling
✓ Standardize naming and arming procedures across multiple facilities

A System People Trust Starts With Better Engineering
Recurring nuisance alarms train users to ignore the system. SSP looks at the causes, not just the symptom.
1
Device Selection
Match detector technology to the environment and target condition.
2
Placement
Account for HVAC, sunlight, vibration, traffic patterns, temperature, and obstructions.
3
Programming
Use areas, schedules, delays, cross-zone logic, and event rules where appropriate.
4
System Health
Test devices, communications, bypassed zones, batteries, and recurring trouble points.
INTEGRATED RESPONSE
An Alarm Is More Useful When It Arrives With Context
Supported integrations can help operators understand what happened faster instead of treating every signal as an isolated event.
INTRUSIONEVENT
Video
Review nearby cameras around an alarm zone.
Access Control
Compare door activity with the armed state of an area.
Monitoring
Route events into documented escalation procedures.
Multi-Site
Standardize naming, users, schedules, and support across facilities.

FAQ
Commercial Intrusion Detection Questions
Common questions about design, integration, takeover, monitoring, and support.
What is a commercial intrusion detection system?
A commercial intrusion detection system monitors protected areas for unauthorized activity using devices such as door contacts, motion detectors, glass-break sensors, specialty perimeter devices, and duress inputs.
Can SSP take over an existing intrusion alarm system?
Yes. SSP can assess panels, devices, programming, communications, monitoring configuration, and documentation to determine what can be supported, repaired, expanded, or modernized.
Can intrusion detection integrate with access control and video surveillance?
Yes, when supported by the selected platforms. Alarm events can be correlated with access activity and nearby video to give operators more context.
Can different parts of a facility be armed independently?
Yes. Commercial platforms can support separate areas or partitions so different parts of a facility can follow different operating and arming schedules.
What devices are typically used?
Common devices include contacts, PIR and dual-technology motion detectors, glass-break sensors, long-range or specialty detectors, panic and duress devices, tamper inputs, and communication modules.
Does SSP provide ongoing service and support?
Yes. SSP supports troubleshooting, testing, repairs, monitoring changes, expansions, takeovers, false-alarm reduction, and long-term lifecycle planning for supported systems.
