Intrusion Detection

Surveillance, Access & Security

Intrusion Detection & Alarm Systems

Alarm control panels, motion detectors, door and window contacts, glass-break sensors, specialty detection products, sirens, notification devices, communicators, power supplies, and accessories for commercial, institutional, industrial, and residential security.

Facility Protection & Detection

Detect unauthorized entry, movement, forced access, and security events

Intrusion detection systems monitor doors, windows, rooms, hallways, perimeters, restricted areas, equipment spaces, and other protected locations for activity that may indicate unauthorized access or a security event.

Southern Electronics supplies intrusion products for new alarm systems, facility expansions, product replacements, system upgrades, commercial properties, schools, warehouses, industrial facilities, government buildings, retail locations, and residential applications.

How Intrusion Detection Works

Components that detect, process, communicate, and announce alarm events

A typical intrusion system connects detection devices to a control panel that monitors protected zones, evaluates system activity, activates local notification, and communicates alarm events to authorized users or monitoring services.

Perimeter & Opening Protection

Contacts and perimeter sensors monitor doors, windows, gates, fences, overhead doors, and exterior approaches for opening, movement, or attempted entry.

  • Door and window contacts
  • Overhead-door and gate contacts
  • Photoelectric beam sensors
  • Fence and perimeter detection
  • Shock and vibration sensing

Interior & Specialty Detection

Interior sensors monitor rooms, hallways, equipment areas, ceilings, glass surfaces, and specialized environments for motion or other security-related conditions.

  • PIR and dual-technology motion detection
  • Ceiling and long-range sensors
  • Glass-break and seismic detection
  • Vape and smoking detection
  • Specialized environmental sensors

Control, Communication & Notification

Control panels supervise system zones, manage arming and disarming, activate notification devices, store event history, and communicate alarm or trouble conditions.

  • Alarm control panels and keypads
  • Zone and output expansion
  • Cellular and network communication
  • Sirens, horns, strobes, and speakers
  • Power, battery backup, and accessories
