Intrusion detection to anticipate and stop any break-in in real time
Perimeter, volumetric and single-point sensors orchestrated on INNOVEO, automated Edge AI video alarm verification, hierarchical alarms forwarded to the APSAD P5 PREVENT centre. APSAD R81 and EN 50131 certified. More than 30 years of expertise.
Intrusion detection refers to an electronic system that detects any unauthorised entry into a protected space (building, perimeter, sensitive zone). Three technology families: perimeter (active IR barriers, buried cables), volumetric (PIR sensors, microwave, dual technology) and single-point (magnetic contacts, glass break, vibration). At ANAVEO, this detection is orchestrated by AlarmConnect on the INNOVEO platform, certified APSAD R81 and EN 50131.
An ANAVEO intrusion detection system covers five essential capabilities for securing a multi-site estate.
- Detect an intrusion in real time with a dedicated sensor for the protected zone
- Verify via automated Edge AI video alarm verification (eliminates 85% of false positives)
- Alert the client and the APSAD P5 PREVENT centre in under 60 seconds
- Trace every detection with timestamp and associated video sequence
- Supervise up to 30,000 sensor points across multiple sites on INNOVEO Experience
Four intrusion detection challenges in multi-site environments
Before rolling out an intelligent intrusion detection system, security, CISO and IT directors of multi-site organisations face four structural challenges that classic systems no longer address.
60 to 90% false positives at night
Animals, environment, poor calibration: most night alarms are false positives (APSAD study). They generate significant security guard costs and operator fatigue at the monitoring centre.
Costly 24/7 manual alarm verification
Without automated alarm verification, every alarm triggers a human intervention (80 to 200 EUR per intervention). The ROI of a manual multi-site setup quickly becomes unfavourable.
APSAD R81 and EN 50131 compliance
Without APSAD R81 certified installation and EN 50131 grade 2 or 3 sensors, the insurer may refuse coverage in case of incident. Criminal risk on sensitive sites if loss is not covered.
Multi-site: configuration discrepancies
Heterogeneous control panels per site, inconsistent daily ARM/DISARM, recurring blind spots. No unified supervision of the intrusion estate by security teams.
Perimeter, volumetric, single-point: three lines of defence unified on INNOVEO
ANAVEO orchestrates the three families of intrusion sensors on the INNOVEO platform, with APSAD R81 certified control panel, Edge AI video alarm verification, and multi-site supervision up to 30,000 sensor points on a single interface.
Perimeter detection
Active IR barriers, buried sensitive cables, seismic detectors and thermal camera detection. For fences, parking, industrial site or data centre perimeter. Detection before the intruder reaches the building.
Volumetric detection
PIR sensors (passive infrared), microwave (radar) and dual technology anti-false-positive with antimasking and antisabotage. For offices, warehouses, retail stores and storage zones.
Single-point detection
Magnetic contacts for doors and windows, acoustic glass break detectors, vibration sensors for safes and break-in detectors. For sensitive access points and high-value zones.
INNOVEO Experience: multi-site supervision up to 30,000 sensor points
A multi-platform application (PC, mobile, tablet) to supervise intrusion detection from anywhere.
- Multi-view and multi-site, up to 30,000 sensor points on a single interface
- Automated ARM/DISARM scenarios per site, per zone, per schedule
- Video alarm verification associated with each alarm with timestamped sequence
- KPI dashboards: alarms, false positives, average verification time, sensor coverage rate
- MFA and SSO for reinforced cybersecurity (Zero Trust by design)
- APSAD R81 control panel + redundant IP transmitters + GSM backup, SIEM integration via REST API
See, Know, Anticipate: the INNOVEO philosophy applied to intrusion
Three families of Smart Apps articulate the INNOVEO ecosystem, mirroring the three stages of operational anti-intrusion security.
Capture every intrusion from the first second
Multi-technology detection (PIR + microwave + IR barrier), automatic video association on trigger, hierarchical alert forwarded to the PREVENT centre.
Understand the nature of the alarm
KPI dashboards, timestamped traceability, behavioural analytics (recurring alarms, night intrusions). Centralised information for executive reporting.

VehiclesIntrusion detection by industry: industry, retail, logistics, tertiary, energy, healthcare
Depending on the industry, deployed technologies and configurations differ. Six major business segments addressed by AlarmConnect.
- Industry: site perimeter (IR barriers, buried cables), volumetric production, single-point ATEX zones
- Retail: volumetric stockrooms and back-office, single-point checkouts and safes, perimeter parking
- Logistics: perimeter warehouses (IR barriers), volumetric sorting zones, single-point loading docks
- Tertiary: volumetric offices, single-point sensitive access (server rooms, archives), perimeter parking
- Energy: perimeter isolated sites (copper, transformers), volumetric technical rooms
- Healthcare: volumetric sensitive medical zones (pharmacy, laboratories), single-point medication storage
Intrusion detection goes beyond simple alarm. It anticipates at-risk situations through a triple line of defence (perimeter, volume, single-point) associated with Edge AI video alarm verification, and ensures timestamped traceability of intrusions.

Everything about intrusion detection in eight questions
What is the difference between perimeter, volumetric and single-point detection?
Perimeter detection protects the site’s outline (fences, parking) with active IR barriers, buried cables or seismic detectors. Volumetric detection protects interior spaces (offices, warehouses) with PIR, microwave or dual technology sensors. Single-point detection protects specific access points (doors, windows, safes) with magnetic contacts, glass break or vibration sensors. The three families combine for a triple line of defence.
Which certifications must my intrusion equipment meet?
On the installation side: APSAD R81 standard (CNPP reference). On the hardware side: EN 50131 standard grades 1 to 4 (grade 3 standard for business, grade 4 for ultra-sensitive sites). On remote monitoring: APSAD P5. On transmission: EN 50136. ANAVEO is certified across all these reference standards and provides insurance-compliant documentation.
How to reduce intrusion alarm false positives at night?
Three levers: (1) dual technology sensors (PIR + microwave) that eliminate environmental triggers, (2) sensor antimasking and autoprotection, (3) automated Edge AI video alarm verification via CamGuide on AlarmConnect. The combination of the three reduces night false positives by up to -85%, as observed at our industrial clients.
Can multi-site intrusion be supervised from a single interface?
Yes. AlarmConnect on INNOVEO Experience supervises up to 30,000 sensor points on a single interface, accessible from PC, mobile or tablet. Automated ARM/DISARM per site, per zone, per schedule. Consolidated KPI dashboards for executive reporting.
Is video alarm verification mandatory?
It is not legally mandatory in France, but it is required by most insurers for sensitive sites and avoids unnecessary on-site visits by agents (cost savings). Automated Edge AI video alarm verification via CamGuide on AlarmConnect reduces false positives by up to -85% and drastically improves handling time.
What happens in case of network or power outage?
APSAD R81 control panels installed by ANAVEO have backup batteries (24 to 72 hours autonomy depending on configuration) and redundant IP transmitters + GSM backup + IP backup. On IP outage, transmission automatically switches to GSM. Sensors also have antisabotage and antimasking protection.
Does ANAVEO intrusion detection integrate with my existing HRIS or alarms?
Yes. INNOVEO exposes a REST API for integration with major HRIS (automatic ARM/DISARM rights management based on arrivals and departures) and with SIEM (cybersecurity correlation). On existing alarms, AlarmConnect supports standard market protocols (Contact ID, SIA, proprietary IP).
How does ANAVEO guarantee the cybersecurity of my IP-connected intrusion control panel?
Sovereign French hosting on the INNOVEO platform redundant Aix-en-Provence and Lyon, TLS 1.3 and AES-256 encryption, mandatory MFA and SSO, ISO 27001, GDPR and NIS2 compliance by design. ANAVEO’s PSSI is documented and applied, the SOC is operational 24/7. Control panels are configured Zero Trust: network segmentation, hardening, signed updates.
