Intrusion alarms, with monitoring when you need it
Motion sensors and door and window sensors, with alerts to your phone and, if you contract it, to the monitoring center.
What it is for, depending on your site
The sensors detect; what changes is who handles the alert. Without monitoring, it reaches your phone and you decide; with monitoring, the center also receives it and follows the protocol agreed with you.
Shops and stores
You arm the system when you close: if someone opens a door after hours, the siren sounds and the alert reaches your phone.
Offices and companies
Zones by area and a code for each person, so you know who armed and who disarmed the system.
Houses and apartments
Door and window sensors with alerts to your phone; the panic button and 24/7 monitoring are optional.
Banks and multiple sites
Burglar alarms for banking with DMP systems, and a design for each site for companies with several branches. See DMP for banking →
What it includes and what it needs
What is included and what is optional are set in the proposal, after the visit. Anything that depends on the inspection is told to you before, not after.
See what is included and what it needs
Included
- Alarm panel and keypad
- Motion sensors and door and window sensors, according to the design
- Siren, indoor or outdoor, depending on the site
- Communicator for the alerts to your phone and, if you contract it, to the center
- Setup of zones, users, codes and schedules
- Testing and handover, with training for whoever arms and disarms
Optional
- Fixed or portable panic button
- Additional sensors, keypads or sirens
- Integration with cameras, to verify by image
- 24/7 monitoring by the center (separate monthly fee)
Site requirements
- Power for the panel
- A stable cellular signal or internet connection where the communicator goes
- Access to run cables, or walls suitable for wireless sensors
- A responsible person to define users, codes and the contact list
Defined during the inspection
- Number and type of sensors per zone
- Wired or wireless, depending on the construction
- Communication path: cellular, internet or both
- Whether your current alarm can be reused
If you already have an alarm, we check it during the visit: sometimes the panel can be reused and only the communicator changes; other times it is better to replace it. We tell you before we quote.
Supply, installation and what comes after
Each part has someone responsible for it. Supply and installation are ADVSYSA’s; monitoring is a separate service operated by AMS, an ATG Group company; the equipment warranty is given by its manufacturer.

Supply and installation · ADVSYSA
The equipment in the proposal, installed and configured by ADVSYSA technicians.
- Panel, keypad, sensors and siren
- Communicator and zone setup
- Users, codes and schedules
Testing and handover
Before handover, we test every part of the system with you and leave you the documentation agreed in the proposal.

- Inventory of what was installed
Optional services
Quoted separately; none of them is included by default.

- 24/7 monitoring (separate contract)
Monitoring · AMS
If you contract it, the ATG Group monitoring center, operated by AMS, receives the signals from your panel and follows the protocol agreed with you. It is a separate monthly fee, with its own contract. How our monitoring center responds →
Maintenance
ADVSYSA offers it under its own contract, with its scope in writing: it is not included with the installation.
- Periodic testing of sensors and communicator
- Replacement of panel and sensor batteries
- Adjustments to zones and users
Manufacturer’s warranty
See the manufacturer’s warranty
Each device carries its manufacturer’s warranty, with the term and conditions that manufacturer publishes for the installed model. It is a condition separate from the supply, the installation and the monitoring.
Panel and wireless sensor batteries are consumables: their normal replacement is part of maintenance; what the warranty covers is defined by the manufacturer. Ask us about the term and conditions that apply to each device in your proposal.
The installation is ADVSYSA’s. Ask us about the installation warranty: its term and conditions are in your proposal or your contract.
What people ask us about alarms
Do I need monitoring, or is the alert to my phone enough?
Without monitoring, the alarm alerts you and you decide what to do, at night or while traveling too. With monitoring, the signal also reaches the center, which follows the protocol agreed with you even if you cannot answer the alert. If nobody can answer the phone at all hours, monitoring covers that gap.
What happens when the alarm goes off?
The siren sounds and you get the alert on your phone. If you contracted monitoring, the center also receives the signal, verifies it according to the contracted service, contacts the people on your list and, if the event is confirmed, coordinates with the authorities according to the protocol agreed with you. There is no automatic dispatch, and no response time is promised. How our monitoring center responds →
Does it work if the power or the internet goes out?
The panel has a backup battery, with the runtime its manufacturer states, and the communicator can use the cellular network, the internet or both. With monitoring, and depending on the equipment, the center can also receive the alert of a power or communication failure. Which path suits your site is defined during the visit.
How much does it cost?
We do not publish prices: the upfront payment depends on the number of zones and sensors, and monitoring, if you contract it, is a separate monthly fee. The written proposal states what is included, what is optional and what goes separately (ITBMS, the sales tax, is added as the law requires).
Can I use my current alarm?
Sometimes, yes. During the visit we check the panel, its communicator and the condition of the sensors: if they are compatible with the center, they are reused; if not, we propose what to change. We tell you before we quote.
