What are the Foundations of a Well Designed Commercial Security System?

1. The Keypad

The Keypad is the brains of the system. It communicates with the sensors throughout the business and is responsible for sending signals to the central monitoring station in the event of an emergency. True Protection supports a wide array of commercial keypads including, but not limited to the Qolsys IQ5 and 2gig Edge.

2. Door/Window Sensors

Most businesses have several doors that lead into and outside of the business. Door/Window sensors are magnetic loop contacts that send signals to the keypad when the seal is broken. They are critical to protecting the doors of your business in the event of a break-in.

3. Motion Detectors

Motion Detectors are perfect devices for interior areas of a commercial property. They are primarily used to protect large internal spaces when the business is closed and nobody is there to trip it. When a commercial system is armed, the morion detectors sense motion and alert the keypad and the proper monitoring station is notified.

4. Glassbreak Detectors

Glass break Detectors are and audio device that pick up the frequency of glass breaking. These can be useful for businesses that have a lot of vulnerable employees or inventory where there are a lot of windows. These devices are great because they add protection when the alarm is on but individuals are still inside the building.

5. Cellular Monitoring

Our keypads utilize dual-path technology which allows a dedicated cellular connection with a WIFI back-up in the event of an outage. Providing redundant back-ups to protect your personal and assets has proven to be invaluable to business owners across Texas.

6. Professional Installation

True Protection maintains a staff of well-trained, experienced technicians that are familiar with a variety of business security platforms such as Qolsys, 2gig, DSC, Alarm.com, GNS, Brivo, and more.

7. Proper Training

After your installation, it is essential for our technicians to train you and your team members how to operate the system efficiently. Our job is to make you comfortable with your new technology.

We Address Your Business Concerns

There are many security issues that your business may face.

You might worry about issues other than physical security. A properly installed business security system with equipment such as Qolsys reduces robberies, internal theft, uncontrolled access, and other threats that have both digital and real-world consequences. Our Austin commercial security systems are ideal for any enterprise setup. Also, see the top cities we service: San Antonio, TX, Austin, TX, Houston, TX, Dallas/Fort Worth.

We help you design the right security system to control access, reduce internal theft, stop break-ins and monitor behavior within your brick-and-mortar store or offices. Some of the threats that we help eliminate include:

Burglary, Robbery, Internal Theft and Shoplifting

There are about 27 million shoplifters in the United States, and shoplifting costs U.S. businesses more than $13 billion annually. We build systems that control shoplifting, internal thefts, burglaries and robberies.

Limiting Access

One of the biggest risks in business comes from unauthorized people getting access to information, computer files, and physical areas where high-valued property is stored. We help you control access, eliminate the need for keys, and even cover a wider range of access.

Managing Safety Issues

Camera surveillance helps security staff identify possible threats to customers, property, and staff members. You will even control access in a volatile situation by closing and locking doors to prevent customers from entering areas where danger or conflicts appear.

Extended Security Solutions

Busy companies often have extended security threats at loading docks, garages, and parking areas. We supply specialized equipment such as monitoring cameras, door sensors, and motion detectors. Catch any questionable activities in areas where the company experiences vulnerabilities or where it could be held responsible for the actions of others.

Ensuring Perimeter Security

Our Twin Photobeam Detectors are used indoors and outdoors to detect perimeter threats. They are built with lensed optics that reinforce beam strength and eliminate false alarms due to weather changes. Adjustable for any situation, beams offer reliable perimeter security for business locations.

App Suite for Enhanced Security

Our commercial video monitoring services allow you to view live or recorded video from any location to stay on top of any security issues. Also, our system films in high definition with night vision capabilities. You can arm or disarm alarms, create passcodes for employees based on times and dates and essentially control all aspects of business security from your phone.

Security Systems FAQs

What's included in a typical business security system installation?

A standard setup includes a central keypad (such as the Qolsys IQ5 or 2GIG Edge), door/window sensors on entry points, and motion detectors for interior spaces when the building is unoccupied. Many businesses also add glassbreak detectors and cellular backup monitoring, and True Protection’s technicians handle installation and staff training as part of the process.

Can I manage security for multiple business locations from one system?

Yes. The Qolsys IQ5 platform is built for scalability and integrates with Alarm.com, so you can monitor and manage alarms, cameras, and access across single or multiple locations from one dashboard. This is especially useful for multi-site businesses that want centralized control instead of managing each location separately.

What happens if my business loses internet or power during a break-in?

The system uses dual-path cellular monitoring as a backup, so it keeps communicating with the central monitoring station even if your WiFi goes down. This redundancy means an outage at your business won’t leave you without coverage during an emergency.

Can access control and video surveillance work together with my alarm system?

Yes. True Protection’s commercial systems integrate intrusion detection, video, and access control into a single platform, so events like a door being accessed can trigger camera recording or alerts automatically. Everything is managed through the same app, giving you one place to arm/disarm, view footage, and control access.

Do I need professional installation, or can I set up a business security system myself?

True Protection uses trained technicians experienced with multiple commercial platforms (Qolsys, 2GIG, DSC, Alarm.com, and more) to handle installation, since commercial properties typically have more entry points and zones than a home. After installation, your team is trained on how to operate the system so day-to-day use doesn’t require ongoing support.

What areas does True Protection serve for business security installations?

True Protection installs and services commercial security systems across Texas, with dedicated teams in Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas/Fort Worth. If you’re outside these metro areas, it’s worth calling to confirm coverage for your specific location.

Can a security system actually reduce shoplifting and internal theft?

Yes. Visible cameras and monitored alarms act as a deterrent, and surveillance creates an audit trail that helps identify exactly when and how theft occurred, whether from shoplifting, employee theft, or break-ins. Given that shoplifting alone costs U.S. businesses more than $13 billion annually, a monitored system gives you a documented way to catch and address it instead of just hoping it doesn’t happen.

What's a glassbreak detector, and do I actually need one?

A glass break detector is an audio sensor that listens for the specific frequency of breaking glass and triggers the alarm even if a door or window sensor isn’t directly tripped. It’s most useful for storefronts or offices with a lot of glass, since it adds protection during business hours when employees are inside but the system may still be partially armed.

Can security coverage extend beyond the building itself, like parking lots or loading docks?

Yes. True Protection installs cameras, door sensors, and motion detectors in extended areas like loading docks, garages, and parking lots, which are common blind spots where liability and theft risk are higher. This is especially relevant for businesses that could be held responsible for incidents happening just outside their main entrance.

What's the difference between interior motion detectors and perimeter detection?

Motion detectors are placed inside the building to catch movement in unoccupied areas once the system is armed, while perimeter security (like photobeam detectors) is built to catch threats at the building’s outer edges, indoors or outdoors. Photobeam detectors use lensed optics to maintain a reliable beam even through weather changes, reducing false alarms compared to relying on motion sensors alone for outdoor coverage.

How does a security system help limit access to sensitive information or high-value inventory?

Beyond intrusion detection, a properly designed system helps control who can physically reach computer files, server rooms, or high-value inventory, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Pairing this with access control and camera coverage means you’re not just detecting a break-in after it happens, but actively limiting who can get to sensitive areas in the first place.
