The security industry has been building intrusion systems the same way for decades — RS-485 buses, proprietary loops, motion detectors based on 20-year-old PIR and microwave logic, and segmented infrastructure for cameras, access control, and burglary.
It’s time to modernize the architecture.
Power-over-Ethernet Intrusion using IntrusionIQ changes the foundation.
With a PoE-based intrusion network:
• Your AI cameras become advanced motion sensors — indoors and outdoors
• One Ethernet backbone carries burglary, access control, cameras, and intrusion signaling
• Buildings, campuses, and even multi-city facilities can operate as a unified, networkable system
• Head-end command and control remains with your intrusion panel, camera, and brand of choice
IntrusionIQ allows integrators to leverage analytic cameras as true perimeter and interior detection devices — human detection, line crossing, loitering, object removal, and more — while still reporting standard alarm zone inputs to the panel. No proprietary lock-in. No forced ecosystem.
At the same time, conventional sensors are not abandoned — they’re expanded.
Through the IntrusionIQ Point Identification Device (PID) — available in 2, 4, 8, and 16 zone configurations — integrators can deploy:
• Door and window contacts
• Overhead door contacts
• Glassbreak detectors
• Dual-tech and specialty sensors
• Panic devices
• Environmental inputs
All transported over Ethernet. All connected back at your Honeywell, DSC, Bosch, Napco Control Panel.
This creates a universal zone input layer that dramatically broadens sensor choice while reducing wiring complexity and lowering material cost.
From an architectural standpoint, distributed PoE nodes provide:
• Faster speeds and higher throughput than legacy RS-485 bus designs (V-Plex, Zonex, Combus, and similar legacy bus topologies)
• Better fault isolation and troubleshooting
• Segment-by-segment reliability. Install dedicated Security Network or use existng customer provided V-Lan infrastructure already in place, or hybrid mix.
• Wireless bridging and fiber optic capabilities
• Virtually limitless expansion across million-plus square-foot facilities — or across cities
Instead of home-run sensor wiring and bus limitations, you deploy network nodes exactly where detection is needed.
One network. Distributed intelligence. Brand freedom.
Security infrastructure should scale like IT infrastructure — not like 1998 alarm wiring.
