Professional solutions against wall & ceiling break-Ins

Wall and ceiling break-ins have been on the rise in recent years, posing a significant challenge for businesses and security professionals. What makes this technique so effective for criminals, and how can we provide robust protection against it? At By Demes, a trusted provider of electronic security solutions, we present the essential components from our Intrusion Catalogue that should be part of your portfolio to safeguard your clients.

What is a wall & ceiling break-In?

A wall and ceiling break-in involves burglars creating an opening in walls, ceilings, or floors to gain unauthorised access to a property, bypassing conventional entry points like doors and windows. This method is often used to target warehouses and retail spaces, where traditional security measures primarily focus on entry doors and windows, leaving structural vulnerabilities exposed.

Criminals typically use tools such as drills, saws, or sledgehammers to break through walls or ceilings while avoiding poorly positioned alarms or sensors. The success of this method often lies in careful planning and the absence of devices designed to detect vibrations, impacts, or unusual movements in protected structures.

How to prevent wall & ceiling break-Ins?

Preventing wall and ceiling break-ins requires a combination of active and passive security measures. Advanced alarm systems, strategically placed video surveillance, and specialized detectors are critical to ensuring comprehensive protection.

By Demes recommends the following solutions:

1. Installation of a professional alarm system

Modern alarm systems, such as the VESTA Alarm System, are indispensable for protecting against wall and ceiling break-ins. These systems include advanced sensors capable of detecting movement or anomalies in specific areas and send immediate notifications through mobile applications. Proper placement ensures that both primary entry points and vulnerable structural areas are covered.

2. Integration with video surveillance cameras

Video surveillance is a vital component in preventing wall and ceiling break-ins. Strategically placed cameras, as outlined in our article on how to install surveillance cameras according to police guidelines, ensure constant monitoring of high-risk zones.

High-resolution cameras with intelligent video analytics can detect suspicious activities, such as attempts to breach walls or ceilings. Integrating these systems with alarms creates a seamless security network for rapid response to incidents.

3. Use of impact and vibration detectors

Impact and vibration detectors are specialized devices designed to detect unusual movements, drilling attempts, or impacts on walls, ceilings, and floors. These devices provide early warnings, allowing intervention before burglars successfully gain access. They are adaptable to various structural types, from brick walls to reinforced surfaces.

Their installation complements alarm systems and video surveillance, providing a robust and layered defence against wall and ceiling break-ins.
