Frequently Asked Questions
A commercial alarm system is a security solution designed to detect unauthorized entry, motion, or other threats within a business facility. It typically includes door/window sensors, motion detectors, glass break sensors, panic buttons, and control panels, and can be connected to 24/7 monitoring centers for real-time response.
Commercial alarm systems are built for larger spaces, higher traffic, and more complex needs. They often include zoned protection, multiple partitions, integration with video and access control, and remote management features. They’re also designed to comply with fire, life safety, and insurance standards.
Depending on the configuration, systems can detect:
- Unauthorized entry (doors/windows)
- Motion (interior movement after hours)
- Glass breakage
- Fire and smoke
- CO gas leaks
- Panic/emergency events
- Water/flooding Each threat type is handled by a different sensor and can be monitored individually or as part of a complete system.
When triggered, the system can:
- Sound an audible siren to deter intruders
- Send a real-time alert to authorized users
- Notify a professional monitoring center
- Dispatch police, fire, or medical responders (if verified or required)
- Systems can also activate cameras to record the event or lock down entry points.
While self-monitoring is possible, professional 24/7 monitoring is highly recommended for businesses. Monitoring centers verify threats and dispatch emergency services quickly, reducing false alarms and improving response time. It’s also often required for insurance compliance or high-value facilities.

- Reviewed annually by a licensed technician
- Regular testing ensures components are working properly and keeps you in compliance with NFPA, IBC, and insurance standards.

- Regular system maintenance
