A commercial security system detects unauthorized entry, motion, environmental threats, and emergency events within a business facility. Systems typically include door and window sensors, motion detectors, glass break sensors, panic buttons, and a central control panel that processes signals and initiates responses.
Commercial systems are larger, more scalable, and built with features like high-resolution imaging, video analytics, remote access, NDAA-compliant hardware, and integration with access control and alarm systems. They are also designed to support higher camera counts, longer retention periods, and multi-site management.
