How a Multi-Layered Detection-Led Approach Keeps Your Home Safe

Home security has come a long way, with modern technology offering a wide range of options to protect your property. At OPTEX, we advocate for a detection-led, multi-layered security solution to provide comprehensive protection and minimise false alarms. We break down what this approach involves and how it can secure your home, family, and valuables.

The Problem with False Alarms

Few things are more frustrating than being awakened by a home alarm, only to discover it was triggered by something harmless, like a passing cat or falling leaves. A key part of our detection-led solution is reducing nuisance alarms by adding smart sensors that work alongside your cameras. These sensors use advanced analytics to filter out non-threatening events, like changes in the weather, ensuring your system only responds to genuine security risks.

What is a Multi-Layered Security System?

A multi-layered security system strengthens protection by adding detection layers across all vulnerable areas of your property. Let’s take a typical home, for example. Vulnerable areas often include the perimeter, garden, driveway, and windows or doors. Our multi-layered approach starts by creating a defensive perimeter and works inward, covering multiple zones. Each layer serves as a barrier, providing early warning and tracking potential intruders before they can reach your home.

OPTEX offers the only true multi-layered security solution, designed to protect your home from the perimeter to the interior. By combining advanced detection sensors, cameras, and intelligent analytics, you can create a reliable system that provides maximum security with minimal false alarms.
