 state security is often challenging with respect to esthetics, interfacing with home automation systems and providing “user friendly” systems. As technology grows, so do opportunities for its use in security.
Protection Design, Inc. works with our clients and their architectural design team to create custom housings and low profile detectors so they blend with the overall esthetics of the home. Our experienced engineers work closely with the home automation team, ensuring that each system provides the required security levels yet remains unobtrusive.
System elements typically include:
• Closed Circuit Television – CCTV fills two key roles in any system. First, it provides oversight of the estate from a pro-active, preventative perspective. Having CCTV in place allows monitoring of the estate or other facility during all hours of the day or night. Its very presence acts as a deterrent. Secondly, CCTV provides "identifiable video" in post incident investigation. This is beneficial from a criminal perspective as well as liability. Other benefits include monitoring the estate remotely and verifying access data with video images.

• Access Control – Often overlooked as an investigative tool, access control may consist of card readers, electronic locking doors or simple door and window locks. For instance, an access control system that provides information beyond the basic purpose to control access increases security by recording who enters or exits a property, access times and points of entry. Such data can be very beneficial in the managing of estate security. Integrating the access control systems data with the other security technologies used ensures you a complete picture of your estate activities. And it can obtain that picture from anywhere, any time.
• Alarm System – Developing an alarm system that is easy to operate, reduces false alarms and integrates with other security technologies is a challenge in any system design. At Protection Design, Inc. we regularly accept these challenges, resulting in the design of effective systems. Our engineers apply the latest technologies, coupled with creative installation design to ensure quality in alarm systems operation.
Developing these three elements into a security system that interfaces with home automation is one of Protection Design Inc.’s main focuses. Working with specialty companies experienced in home automation, our consultant and engineer team use the latest technology and creative thinking to design a safe, secure environment for our clients.
