Intrusion Detection
When It Comes to Intrusion Detection, a Local Business Makes All the Difference
Detecting a break-in is only the first step. With Desert Alarm, the same local team installs your sensors, monitors them, and can send a patrol officer to respond in person. A national provider leaves you waiting in a queue, while we have people in the Valley ready to act.

Intrusion Detection Questions, Answered
How does intrusion detection work?
We place door and window sensors, motion detectors, and glass-break sensors throughout your property. When one is triggered, the signal reaches a UL-listed central station and the right help is sent your way.
What happens when the alarm goes off?
Operators at the central station work to verify the alarm. If you have alarm response with Desert Alarm, an officer can also go to the property to confirm what happened in person before police are involved, which helps avoid false-alarm fines.
Can it cover a large building?
Yes. We design systems for warehouses, dealerships, offices, and retail spaces, layering sensors to cover every entry point no matter the size of the property.
Does it connect to cameras?
Yes. Intrusion sensors work alongside video, so operators can pull up your cameras when an alarm comes in and see what actually triggered it.
How fast can you install?
We are based in the middle of the Valley and offer some of the fastest install times around, within 24 hours, with same-day help available for emergencies.
