Perimeter Sensors.
To maximize the detection of intruders on your property and minimize false positives, you need the right combination of sensors. Our alarm experts have the experience and know-how to select the optimal set of detectors to fit your property. One-size-fits-all solutions don’t offer the same level of accuracy or reliability.

• Multi-point Photo-electric Beams
• Half-microwave Body Heat
• Infrared Motion
• Magnetic Contacts

Interior Sensors.
Locks are the simplest deterrent to crooks, but a determined thief will bypass your locks. Don’t give a thief easy entry. Monitor all your access points for unauthorized entry with a combination of sensors to detect criminals before it’s too late.

• Glass Break Detectors
• Infrared / Microwave Motion Detectors

Family Safety.
Early warning of fires and poisonous gas accumulation can be the difference between life and death. In the Bay Area’s earthquake prone topology, a well-designed alarm system can be a critical factor in your family’s safety. Additionally, water leak detection can save you from massive water damage problems.

• Water leak detection (water bugs)
• Fire protection: smoke and heat detectors
• Carbon-monoxide

Monitoring & Notifications.
Monitoring and notification is a critical element of providing security. We always recommend monitoring for maximum protection of family and property but each client's needs are different. If you want a screeching alarm that will make paint peel, we can do that. If you want 24x7 monitoring, we can do that. If you want internet-accessible cameras which you can access from anywhere in the world using our local UL listed central station, we can do that, too.

• Audible Alarms (Sirens)
• 24x7 Monitoring
• Internet Accessible Viewing
• Split-screen / Multi-TV Security Centers
• Messages to pagers, cell phones, and email.

For commercial operations, surveillance and camera systems provide a cost-effective way of protecting your assets. Threats can be either internal or external. Alarm systems deter external agents, but are not effective against inside losses. Did you know that 78% of all theft occurs from inside?

Common inside theft techniques include:

• Bartenders over pouring or pouring free drinks.
• Cash register operators failing to ring up sales and pocketing the cash.
• Clerks giving unauthorized “2-for-1” deals.

Surveillance and camera systems are the best deterrent to dishonest employees. We even have a special retail module that ties into cash registers so you can link video and transactions. For the beverage industry, we have solutions which can drastically reduce losses.

For residential users, surveillance and camera systems can be an invaluable tool to protecting your family. Besides stopping theft, camera and surveillance systems can increase your child’s safety by enabling you to monitor the behavior of nannies and babysitters.

Surveillance & Camera systems are also beneficial for residential clients.

Benefits for residential users:

• Discourage theft by ‘trusted’ employees such as maids, gardeners, and cooks.
• Stop babysitters from inviting boyfriends over when they should be watching your child.
• Review nannies and babysitters treatment of your child to ensure it meets your parenting requirements.
• Verify alarm signals before dispatching authorities.

Intercoms and Sound Systems not only provide additional safety benefits, but also can improve your quality of life. A well designed intercom system can be used both for communication and to distribute music throughout your home or workplace.

Security & Commercial

• Tie into your phone system for increased functionality.
• Improve communication in large workspaces, construction sites, & warehouses.

Lifestyle

• Equip patios, pools, and gardens so you can relax and not worry about missing deliveries or appointments.
• Integrate with home audio systems and make music available in every room. Separate, stand alone sound systems provide distributed audio signals through your home for background music and ambiance. Fill your home with stereo sound in every room.

We can install cables and wiring for sound, intercom, video, telephone, and computer/Ethernet applications. All with the attention to detail and a dressed finish to match your home or business.
