Professional Intrusion Systems: Securing Businesses with Smarter Protection

July 10, 2025

The need for robust commercial security has never been more critical. From small business storefronts to large-scale industrial operations, companies face a growing number of threats, both internal and external. Professional intrusion systems offer a comprehensive way to monitor, deter, and respond to unauthorized access. At Recore Security & Communications, we design, install, and maintain custom intrusion systems tailored to your facility’s unique vulnerabilities and operational demands.


Whether you need after-hours protection or a way to reduce employee theft, intrusion systems provide more than just alarms. They deliver peace of mind, usable evidence for law enforcement, and even insurance premium savings.


What Is an Intrusion System?

An intrusion system, also known as a burglar alarm system, is a network of sensors, control panels, and alert mechanisms designed to detect unauthorized entry into a building or area. These systems can be as simple as a door sensor with a basic alarm, or as complex as an integrated solution involving motion detection, glass-break sensors, video verification, and access control integration.


When professionally designed, intrusion systems provide:


Why Businesses Are Investing in Intrusion Systems


1. Usable Evidence for Law Enforcement

Modern intrusion systems offer more than just loud alarms. Many are equipped with smart sensors and video verification tools that capture time-stamped incidents and visual footage. This data is crucial when filing police reports or prosecuting criminal activity. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, electronic surveillance systems that capture usable evidence significantly improve case closure rates.


At Recore, we deploy technologies that integrate intrusion detection with surveillance systems, allowing business owners to provide authorities with clear, actionable documentation of any breach.


2. After-Hours Protection and 24/7 Peace of Mind

For many businesses, the greatest risk of theft or vandalism occurs when no one is around to respond. Professional intrusion systems are monitored around the clock, alerting law enforcement or private security teams in the event of a breach.


When Recore designs an intrusion system, we consider all access points, including employee entrances, loading docks, and rooftop entryways. Our goal is to prevent any unnoticed break-in attempts during off-hours while minimizing false alarms that can burden your team or emergency responders.


3. Proven Deterrent to Intruders

Studies have shown that visible intrusion systems, such as surveillance cameras, keypads, and motion sensors, have a strong deterrent effect on criminal behavior. According to the National Institute of Justice, businesses with alarm systems are significantly less likely to be targeted than those without.


Recore takes this deterrent a step further by integrating alarm systems with visible signage, lighting triggers, and real-time alerts to mobile devices. This comprehensive approach not only stops break-ins but also discourages repeat attempts.


4. Reduced Internal Theft

Employee theft remains a significant issue across many industries. From retail shrinkage to stolen tools on industrial job sites, the financial loss can be severe. Intrusion systems that monitor movement, door access, and unauthorized presence after hours can reduce the temptation and opportunity for internal theft.


Recore’s custom solutions help you identify patterns in unauthorized activity, verify time-stamped movement through different zones, and take corrective action based on real data, not speculation.


5. Lower Insurance Premiums

Many insurance providers offer lower premiums to businesses that have professionally installed and monitored intrusion systems. These systems reduce the risk of loss, making the business a lower liability. Insurance carriers may require documentation of the system’s capabilities, monitoring agreements, and maintenance records.


By partnering with Recore, your business gains not only a more secure facility but also a potentially measurable financial return through risk reduction.


Custom Intrusion System Design: What Recore Offers

No two businesses have the same security needs. At Recore, we begin every project by evaluating the client’s facility layout, access points, hours of operation, and industry-specific risks. From there, we develop a system that is scalable, reliable, and easy to use.


Our intrusion systems may include:

  • Perimeter door and window sensors
  • Motion detectors and glass break sensors
  • Video-verified intrusion alerts
  • Remote arming/disarming via mobile apps
  • Integrated keypad and badge readers
  • Wireless communication with monitoring centers
  • Battery and cellular failover for power outages


Whether you’re operating a single office or a multi-building complex, we tailor your system to cover all entry points, key assets, and blind spots.


Why Choose Professional Installation Over DIY?

While DIY security systems may seem convenient or cost-effective, they rarely meet the reliability or performance standards required by commercial properties. DIY systems often suffer from:

  • Limited sensor range
  • Lack of professional monitoring
  • Incompatibility with existing systems
  • Increased false alarms
  • No integration with access control or surveillance


Professional-grade systems installed by Recore come with commercial certifications, reliable uptime, and a dedicated team of technicians who understand your goals.


Integration with Other Security Systems

Intrusion systems are most effective when combined with surveillance, access control, and communication tools. Recore’s team specializes in integrating intrusion detection with broader security infrastructure, giving you complete visibility and control from a single dashboard.


This level of integration enables:

  • Streamlined alarm response with video verification
  • Automated lockdown procedures in emergencies
  • Employee access audits linked with entry events
  • Faster decision-making during security incidents


Compliance and Monitoring

Certain industries, including healthcare, education, and government contracts, require compliance with strict security protocols. Recore designs intrusion systems that help meet requirements from OSHA, HIPAA, NERC CIP, and other regulatory bodies.


Our UL-certified monitoring services operate 24/7 and follow best practices to verify alarms, notify authorities, and maintain compliance logs.


Maintenance and Support

An intrusion system is only effective if it’s maintained properly. Recore provides routine maintenance, software updates, and testing to make sure your system is always functioning at peak performance. We also offer customer support for training, troubleshooting, and making changes to your security plan as your business grows.


Final Thoughts

Professional intrusion systems are a vital investment for any business serious about protecting its assets, operations, and people. They provide reliable detection, strong deterrence, and usable evidence for law enforcement, all while helping reduce operational risk and insurance costs.

Access Control Systems
July 3, 2025
Access Control Systems are no longer optional; they are essential for modern facility security. Whether you're safeguarding an industrial site, commercial building, or high-traffic campus, access control systems help protect personnel, property, and sensitive data. These systems provide seamless entry for authorized users while keeping out potential threats, improving both security and operational efficiency. In this blog, we’ll explore how access control systems work, their components, the benefits of integrating them into your facility, and how Recore’s tailored approach sets the standard for physical security. What Is an Access Control System? An access control system is a digital security solution that regulates who can enter or exit specific areas within a facility. Unlike basic door locks, access control systems use electronic methods, such as key fobs, PINs, or biometric data, to authenticate users and grant or deny access. According to the U.S. General Services Administration, physical access control systems (PACS) are vital to controlling entry into secure areas using electronic identification . Why Your Facility Needs Access Control Systems 1. Stronger Physical Security Standard keys can be lost, stolen, or duplicated. Access control systems eliminate these risks by using unique digital credentials. Each access event is logged, providing a detailed audit trail. 2. Real-Time Access Management Access permissions can be updated instantly. If an employee leaves the company or changes roles, you can immediately revoke or reassign their credentials. 3. Enhanced Visibility and Accountability Every access attempt, successful or failed, is recorded. In the event of an incident, these logs provide valuable insights for investigation or compliance audits. 4. Scalability Across Multiple Locations From standalone door readers to enterprise-level networks, access control systems grow with your business. Networkable systems can control hundreds of entry points across facilities, all from a centralized platform. Core Components of Access Control Systems A well-designed access control system typically includes: Credential Readers: Devices that scan badges, key cards, biometrics, or mobile credentials. Control Panels: Hardware that processes reader data and decides whether to unlock a door. Electronic Locks: Magnetic or electric strike locks that are controlled remotely. Management Software: Software interface where administrators assign permissions, monitor activity, and generate reports. User Credentials: Key fobs, smart cards, PIN codes, mobile apps, or biometric inputs. Access Control System Types Standalone Access Control Systems Ideal for smaller facilities, standalone systems control individual doors without connecting to a centralized network. These are cost-effective and simple to install, making them a smart choice for single-building operations. Networked Access Control Systems Best suited for multi-site or enterprise-level applications, networked systems connect all access points through centralized management software. These systems offer remote access control, real-time updates, and advanced reporting. Integration Capabilities One of the most valuable features of access control systems is their ability to integrate with other building technologies, including: Video Surveillance Systems: Automatically record footage of access events. Alarm Systems: Trigger alerts for unauthorized access attempts. Building Automation: Control lighting, HVAC, and elevator access based on occupancy. Visitor Management Software: Issue temporary access credentials to guests.  Key Benefits of Access Control Systems
