Intrusion Alarm Systems

Commercial intrusion detection systems — from perimeter protection to interior motion coverage — designed and installed by PCS across Utah.

Overview

Protect Your Facility After Hours

Powered Control Systems designs and installs commercial intrusion detection systems for businesses, institutions, and industrial facilities across Utah. From basic perimeter door and window contacts to sophisticated multi-zone motion detection systems with 24/7 central station monitoring, PCS delivers reliable intrusion protection tailored to your facility's specific risk profile.

Our intrusion systems integrate seamlessly with video surveillance and access control — when an intrusion alarm triggers, cameras can automatically record and operators can visually verify the event in real time. This integration dramatically reduces false alarm dispatches and improves response effectiveness.

PCS provides both new installations and service/upgrades for existing systems, as well as 24/7 monitoring through a UL-listed central station.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial systems are designed for larger, more complex spaces with multiple zones, higher traffic, and integration requirements. They use heavier-duty hardware, support more sophisticated access schedules, and typically require UL-listed components and monitoring for insurance compliance.

Yes. PCS connects intrusion alarm systems to UL-listed central station monitoring services that provide 24/7 dispatch notification to law enforcement and designated contacts.

PCS programs camera systems to automatically record and alert when an intrusion alarm triggers in the same zone. This allows operators to visually verify whether the alarm is genuine before dispatching law enforcement — reducing false alarm fines and improving response.

Yes. When access control and intrusion alarm share a platform, arming and disarming can be automated based on who enters and exits — eliminating the need to manually arm the system when the last person leaves.
