Intrusion Detection

AI detection on the zones that matter, live operators on every verified event, and voice-down response before the damage is done.

Your property has places no one should be after hours. Clear Watch Intrusion Detection knows exactly where those are — and raises the alarm the moment someone crosses in.

Intrusion Detection watches the no-entry zones you define — building interiors, perimeters, restricted areas — and raises an immediate alert when a person, car, or bike enters. It replaces both round-the-clock recording and the guard staring at a wall of monitors: instead of hoping someone notices, the system flags the specific event the instant it happens, so key assets are protected and incidents are answered promptly.

Detection targets are configured per zone, so you can watch for people at a warehouse door and vehicles at a yard gate with different rules. The engine is built to keep false alarms low in the real world — it accounts for reflections off stationary objects, vibration, and the influence of nearby objects, detects designated objects even when their form is unclear, and applies a filtering step so only genuine events are raised, even in complex environments.

Who Uses It

Central Stations & Monitoring Providers

Verified Video Events Instead of Blind Alarm Signals — Every Alert Arrives With Live Footage to Assess.

Every intrusion alert reaches the operator with live video they can assess in seconds — cutting false dispatches and raising priority response rates. No more acting on a signal with no context. Operators see what triggered the event before they pick up the phone.

  • Live video attached to every intrusion event at the moment of alert
  • Operators assess the scene in seconds — not minutes
  • Cuts false dispatches and raises verified response rates

Commercial Property

Protect Lobbies, Loading Docks, and Rooftops After Hours — Without a Guard at Every Building.

AI intrusion detection covers the areas that matter most after close — loading docks, mechanical rooms, rooftop access — across every building in the portfolio. Live operators respond to verified events in real time, so the protection is active, not just recorded.

  • After-hours coverage for lobbies, docks, rooftops, and mechanical rooms
  • Live operator response to verified events — no guard required on site
  • Scales across a multi-building portfolio from one platform

Critical Infrastructure

Substations and Water Facilities Sit Unmanned for Days. The Perimeter Still Needs to Respond in Seconds.

Intrusion alerts turn an unattended perimeter into one that responds within seconds of a breach — without a guard on site. For substations, water facilities, and communications sites, the gap between detection and response is where damage happens.

  • Perimeter response within seconds of breach — no on-site staff required
  • Covers substations, water facilities, and communications sites
  • Live operator escalation and direct 911 dispatch when warranted

Construction Sites

Copper Wire, Tools, and Fuel Disappear From Open Sites at Night. Zone-Based Detection Covers the Yard.

Zone-based intrusion detection covers laydown yards and trailers even before permanent fencing goes up — so the most theft-vulnerable phase of a project isn't the least protected one. Live response means the deterrent is active, not just recorded.

  • Zone-based coverage for laydown yards, trailers, and equipment areas
  • Works before permanent fencing is in place
  • Live voice-down and dispatch response to after-hours intrusions

Self-Storage Facilities

Catch People Climbing Gates After Close — Before a Unit Lock Gets Cut, Not After a Tenant Files a Claim.

Intrusion detection covers drive aisles and gate perimeters after hours, flagging people who enter the property before they reach a unit. The alert and voice-down happen while intervention is still possible — not after the damage is done and a tenant is filing a claim.

  • After-hours coverage of drive aisles, gates, and unit corridors
  • Alert and voice-down before a unit lock is reached
  • Protects tenant trust and reduces liability from after-hours incidents

How It Works

Detection is only step one. The moment an intrusion event fires, live video streams to Clear Watch's 24/7 monitoring operators, who verify what they're seeing, issue a live audio voice-down over your on-site speakers, and escalate to dispatch when warranted — including direct digital 911 delivery to more than 700 PSAPs. Most intruders leave when a voice calls them out by their clothing color. The ones who don't meet responding officers.
