Explore Our Capabilities

  • Scalability and Agility

    The right intrusion detection system is your first line of defense against a potential breach or event that could put your business, or your people at risk. Allied Universal focuses on intrusion detection solutions that are scalable, provide early incident identification and can be integrated into your larger security solution.
  • Thermal and Radar

    Level up your security with the introduction of thermal and radar detection. Thermal systems use infrared cameras to identify heat signatures from intruders, effectively detecting movement in low visibility conditions such as darkness, fog, or smoke, when cameras may not be as effective. Radar intrusion detection, on the other hand, employs radio waves to detect motion, even in challenging weather conditions. When combined, these technologies offer a robust solution that contributes to comprehensive monitoring, minimizes false alarms, and enables swift and accurate response.
  • Weapons and Shot Detection

    With gun violence increasing year over year, Allied Universal works with clients to enhance safety by quickly identifying and responding to gunfire incidents. Utilizing complex algorithms, these systems can accurately detect the sound of gunshots, differentiate them from other noises, and pinpoint the exact location of the incident… all in real-time. Once detected, the system alerts security personnel, allowing for rapid response.
  • Seamless Integration for Robust Security Oversight

    Combining people, process, and technology provides an infinitely more effective security program for your business. Your intrusion detection solution should seamlessly integrate with other core security tools and systems, enhancing your overall security posture. Technology solutions that work in vacuums are simply not as effective.

Business Benefits

The automation and integration of security technologies not only streamlines security operations, but lowers operational costs, and reduces the need for around the clock on-site Security Professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Question: How can I detect unauthorized access to my network or my property in real-time?

    Answer: We work with you to customize the system to align with your specific network environment to detect genuine threats. We would also utilize advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms to help the system distinguish between normal network activities and suspicious behavior. Any suspicious behavior would trigger an alert.

  • Question: What is the incident of false positives / alarms and how do we work together to minimize?

    Answer: Intrusion detection systems are designed to alert you to potential security threats, but false positives can occur and take focus away from other important activities. At Allied Universal, we aim to minimize false positives and provide you with reliable, actionable threat intelligence to strengthen your overall security posture, by customizing and fine-tuning the system to align with your specific network environment.

  • Question: What steps should I take immediately after detecting an intrusion?

    Answer: The first step is to determine if the threat is real. That could be through the utilization of video surveillance, or through human interaction. If real, the next steps are dependent upon the nature of the intrusion, the location and environment, and the overall risk to your business and your people. Your response could be to contact police, or it could be to educate an employee about your processes. There is no one set response.

  • Question: How can an intrusion detection system help prevent data loss and protect sensitive information?

    Answer
    An intrusion detection system as part of your physical security works by limiting access to areas of your business that might house sensitive or critical intelligence. An intrusion detection would alert security teams immediately upon detecting anomalies, facilitating prompt investigation and response to mitigate data loss incidents and prevent unauthorized data access.

  • Question: Can I integrate a new intrusion detection system with my existing security systems – video, access control?

    Answer: We know that the most robust security program relies on systems that work together to deter, detect and respond to threats. A technology assessment before you purchase your intrusion detection system would help you determine who and if your individual systems can work together.

  • Question: What kind of training do you offer clients in understanding their intrusion detection system?

    Answer: A part of our commitment to customer service is to support you and your team members in understanding how to use your security systems. We work with our vendor partners to bring robust and easy-access training sessions to our clients. We are there to answer all questions at any time.

  • Question: Do we respond to incident alerts or can Allied Universal respond on our behalf?

    Answer: Allied Universal has a full suite of security services beyond technology and can provide physical security coverage or alarm response if required and agreed upon as part of your contract. Our team is equipped to handle incidents promptly, with a swift and effective response. We work closely with your organization to coordinate responses and mitigate potential threats. Our Monitoring and Response Center (MaRC) also operates around the clock, enabling us to respond to incidents in real-time and minimize any potential impact on your operations.
