BLTI provides complete Intrusion alarm systems that consist of various sensors  connected to a control unit which interacts with a response device. The most common sensors indicate the opening of a door or window or detect motion.

New construction systems are predominately hardwired while in retrofits, wireless systems may be more economical and easier to install.  These comprehensive systems can seamlessly integrate fire and intrusion protection if required. Sophistication ranges from small, self-contained alarms to complicated, multi-zoned systems with color-coded computer monitor outputs.

BLTI recommends that clients take additional protection measures to safeguard against theft, intrusion and burglary by continual monitoring. When a client uses a central station they are safeguarding their business by sending a signal to an alarm monitoring company and having the proper authorities dispatched. By adding radio backup or cellular phone backup other than an ordinary telephone line, an alarm system can transmit a signal to our monitoring station. The alarm system sends regularly scheduled signals to the central station that denotes a normal state. This means that even if power and phone lines are cut, the alarm system will communicate to the central station that things are “not OK”. Proper authorities (e.g. fire, police or other emergency service providers) can be dispatched by our central station operators to your business location.  Intrusion alarm systems may also be combined with closed-circuit television surveillance systems to automatically record the activities of intruders, and may interface to access control systems for electrically-locked doors.  No matter what your Security needs are, BL Technology can provide the best system for you.  We take pride in providing quality products and services to our clients at competitive prices.

Access Control Systems regulate the movement of people within your building or property to help protect your employees, company assets and company information. This enables you to avoid key problems and have the ability to view where people are on your premises at any given moment, in real-time.

This cost-effective means of preventing unauthorized entry also provides a permanent record of anyone on your premises without inconveniencing your employees or disrupting your business. Access control can reduce exposure to most internal and external threats. BLTI strives to utilize any existing infrastructure to minimize costs for our clients and takes pride in providing quality products and services at competitive prices.

BLTI designed access control systems are ideal for:

• Commercial Facilities
• Industrial Facilities
• Educational Facilities
• Municipal Facilities
• Condominiums
• Retirement Residences

BLTI is able to provide both hardwired and/or IP based systems depending on your needs. Want to learn more? Click here to contact us now.
