System scope is defined after reviewing the site and the required protection objectives.
What Is a Burglar Alarm System?
A burglar alarm system — also called an intrusion detection system — is an integrated network of sensors, a control panel, and notification devices designed to detect unauthorized entry into a property and trigger an alert before the intruder can cause harm.
A complete system is more than a few motion sensors. It involves selecting the right detection technology for each zone, designing the entry/exit logic, choosing the control panel and communication method, and confirming the installation against the property's security objectives.
Types of Burglar Alarm Systems
The right system type depends on property size, construction, and monitoring objectives.
Wired Burglar Alarm Systems
Sensors connect physically to the control panel. Highly reliable, tamper-resistant, and ideal for new buildings or major renovations where cabling can be planned in advance.
Wireless Burglar Alarm Systems
Sensors communicate by radio link. Fast to install with minimal disruption — ideal for apartments, villas, heritage buildings, and retrofits where running cable is impractical.
Hybrid Burglar Alarm Systems
Combines wired and wireless zones on the same panel. Offers the best of both: wired reliability for critical areas and wireless flexibility for expansions and difficult locations.
How a Burglar Alarm System Is Built
A burglar alarm system consists of several connected components. The design of each part affects detection speed, false-alarm rate, and overall reliability.
PIR Sensors
Passive infrared sensors detect body heat movement in protected rooms and corridors.
Door & Window Contacts
Magnetic reed switches detect opening of doors, windows, and shutters.
Glass-Break Sensors
Detect the sound frequency of breaking glass on shop fronts and ground-floor windows.
Control Panel
The brain of the system — arms, disarms, logs events, and drives notification.
Sirens & Strobes
Audible and visual alarm to deter intruders and alert occupants.
Communicator
GSM, IP, or dual-path module that sends alerts to phone and monitoring center.
Where required, burglar alarm events can be integrated with CCTV systems and access control so that an intrusion triggers video recording, door locking, or lighting activation.

Why Burglar Alarm Systems Are Essential
Protecting property, people, and business continuity.
Deter Intruders
Visible sirens, strobes, and warning signage alone deter many attempted break-ins before they happen.
Instant Detection
Sensors detect forced entry within seconds, allowing a rapid response instead of discovering the break-in hours later.
Property Protection
Rapid alerts limit loss of equipment, inventory, and valuables, and reduce damage caused during forced entry.
Business Continuity
A burglary can halt operations for days. A reliable alarm system reduces downtime and supports faster recovery.
Family & Staff Safety
Knowing that any intrusion triggers an alert — even at night — gives occupants confidence and peace of mind.
Insurance Benefits
Many insurers offer premium reductions for properties protected by certified alarm systems with monitoring.

Burglar Alarm System Cost in Egypt — What Affects the Price
There is no single price for a burglar alarm system. The total depends on the property and the required functionality.
Cost Factors
- Number & Type of SensorsPIRs, dual-tech detectors, door/window contacts, glass-break, and vibration sensors vary in cost. More devices means more hardware and installation time.
- Wired vs WirelessWireless systems reduce cabling and labour on retrofits. Wired systems are more economical for new construction and larger buildings.
- Coverage & ZonesBuilding size, number of entry points, and zone count determine panel capacity and sensor count.
- Panel FeaturesSmart panels with mobile app, GSM/IP communication, and home automation features cost more than basic panels.
- Monitoring OptionSelf-monitoring via app is free. Central station monitoring adds a monthly subscription for 24/7 dispatch.
- Integration RequirementsIntegration with CCTV, access control, fire alarm, or lighting adds configuration and equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers to common questions about burglar alarm systems, installation, and maintenance in Egypt.
A burglar alarm system is an intrusion detection network made of sensors, a control panel, and notification devices. It detects unauthorized entry and alerts occupants, an alarm monitoring station, or both.
Wired systems use physical cabling to connect sensors to the control panel and are very reliable for new buildings. Wireless systems use radio links, are faster to install, and suit existing or heritage buildings where cabling is difficult.
Cost depends on property size, number of entry points, sensor type, panel features, and whether central monitoring is required. Contact SISCOM for a free site survey and a detailed quotation.
A typical apartment or small shop takes 1 to 2 days. Villas, offices, and multi-floor buildings usually take 3 to 7 days. Large warehouses or industrial sites may require longer, planned after the site survey.
Yes. All our burglar alarm panels include rechargeable battery backup (typically 8 to 24 hours). For longer outages, we can integrate a UPS or generator connection.
Yes. Smart alarm panels and GSM/IP communicators let you arm, disarm, and view event history from a mobile app, and send instant push notifications when an alarm is triggered.
A Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor detects movement by sensing body heat. It is the most common intrusion detector and is used to protect rooms, corridors, and open areas.
A dual-tech detector combines PIR with microwave sensing. An alarm is triggered only when both technologies detect an intrusion, dramatically reducing false alarms in challenging environments.
Yes. Alarm events can trigger CCTV recording, send video snapshots to your phone, lock doors, or activate lights. Integration creates a coordinated response to any intrusion.
Yes. We can connect your burglar alarm to a certified monitoring center that dispatches a response 24/7, or configure self-monitoring via mobile app depending on your preference.
We recommend a full inspection every 6 to 12 months, including sensor testing, battery check, and panel diagnostics. Maintenance contracts ensure the system stays reliable.
We work with genuine equipment from manufacturers such as Bosch, Honeywell, Paradox, DSC, Texecom, Hikvision, Dahua, and Ajax, all supported in Egypt.
