Alarm Systems
Burglar and safety alarms that alert you the moment something is wrong.
Know the moment something is wrong
Alarm systems alert you to intrusion and safety events so you can respond fast. We design and install alarms for homes and businesses and service them over time.
- Burglar/intrusion alarms
- Safety and environmental sensors
- Works with cameras and access control
- Install and service
Frequently asked questions
Do alarms work with cameras and access control?
Yes — alarms, cameras and access control can be combined into one connected system.
Do you install for homes and businesses?
Yes. We design and install alarm systems for both, starting with an assessment.
What Goes Into Planning an Alarm System for Your Property
A burglar and safety alarm is only as good as the plan behind it, and the right design depends on how your specific space is laid out and used. The first thing that shapes the job is the building itself: a single-story home with a few exterior doors is a very different project from a multi-floor commercial space with stockrooms, side entrances, and a loading area. The number and type of openings you want covered, the construction of your walls and door frames, and where your power and internet connections sit all influence which sensors make sense and how they are wired or connected wirelessly.
The second factor is how you want the system to behave when something happens. Some properties need a loud local siren that draws attention immediately, while others benefit from a quieter setup that sends alerts to a phone or links into existing security cameras and access control so you can see what triggered the alarm before reacting. We serve both commercial and residential clients across San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, and the wider Bay Area, Peninsula, and South Bay, and we match the design to the way you actually live or operate rather than installing a one-size-fits-all package.
- Entry points: which doors, windows, gates, and overhead openings need coverage
- Interior zones: hallways, stairwells, stockrooms, and high-value areas worth a motion sensor
- Building construction: wall material and door framing affect mounting and wireless range
- Connectivity: where power, Wi-Fi, and network connections are available for the control panel
- How you want to be notified: local siren, phone alerts, or integration with cameras and access control
Types of Sensors and Detection You Can Combine
Modern alarm systems are built from a mix of detection devices, and choosing the right combination is what makes a system both effective and easy to live with. Door and window contacts tell you the moment an opening is breached, while motion detectors watch interior spaces and are useful for catching movement inside an area after someone has gotten past the perimeter. Glass-break sensors listen for the specific sound of breaking glass, which is helpful for storefronts and rooms with large windows where someone might try to enter without opening a door.
Beyond intrusion, many properties also want safety detection built into the same system so a single setup watches for more than just break-ins. Adding sensors for smoke, environmental hazards, or other safety concerns lets the system serve double duty, and because everything reports back to one control panel, you get a single place to arm, disarm, and check status. We can talk through which detection types fit your property, whether you are protecting a home, a retail front, or a commercial facility, and we tie the alarm in with security cameras, access control, and door hardware when you want a connected setup.
