Planar protection

Physical security delays an attack. Planar Protection helps ensure that attack attempts are detected immediately. Together, they create a comprehensive security solution that combines certified resistance with proactive intrusion detection. 

Physical security delays an attack. Planar Protection helps ensure that attack attempts are detected immediately. Together, they create a comprehensive security solution that combines certified resistance with proactive intrusion detection. 


How Planar Protection Works

Planar Protection uses alarm cables embedded within the wall panels, floor, ceiling and door of the vault structure. If an attempt is made to penetrate the protected area, the system triggers an alarm, supporting a rapid security response. The detection technology is integrated within the vault construction itself and tested during production to ensure reliable performance. 

The solution is available in modular strong rooms from Grade V and above, providing an effective complement to certified physical security measures. 


Designed for reliable detection

Unlike vibration-based detection systems, Planar Protection monitors the integrity of the protected structure directly. This helps reduce the risk of nuisance alarms caused by external environmental factors, supporting higher operational reliability and availability. 

Key benefits 

  • Early attack detection 
  • Continuous protection of walls, floors, ceilings and vault doors 
  • Most reliable detection: Only real attacks are detected, no false alarm 
  • Efficient investment: no follow up costs like maintenance 

Physical Security and Planar Protection 

Physical security delays an attack. Planar Protection helps ensure that attack attempts are detected immediately. Together, they create a comprehensive security solution that combines certified resistance with proactive intrusion detection. 


What is Planar Protection?

Planar Protection is an integrated intrusion detection system embedded within the structure of a vault or strongroom. Special alarm cables are positioned close to the surface of walls, floors, ceilings and doors to help detect attack attempts from the moment penetration begins. 

How does Planar Protection detect an attack? 

The system uses alarm cables embedded within the vault structure. If an attacker attempts to penetrate the protected area, the cables are damaged, triggering an alarm and enabling an immediate response. 

How is Planar Protection different from seismic detectors? 

Seismic detectors react to vibrations generated by tools or environmental factors. Planar Protection monitors the integrity of the vault structure itself, helping reduce the risk of nuisance alarms caused by external vibrations such as construction work or heavy traffic. 

Does Planar Protection require regular maintenance? 

No. Unlike many traditional detection systems, Planar Protection does not require cyclical maintenance, helping to reduce ongoing costs while supporting high system availability. 

Can Planar Protection be used with modular vaults? 

Yes. Planar Protection can be integrated into modular vaults and strongrooms, providing continuous protection across walls, ceilings, floors and vault doors. 

Does Planar Protection limit the design of the vault interior? 

No. Because the detection system is integrated within the vault structure, there is no need for sensor access inside the protected space. This provides greater flexibility when designing strongrooms and safe deposit box installations. 

Why combine Planar Protection with certified physical security? 

Physical security provides resistance against attack, while Planar Protection adds an additional layer of intrusion detection. Together, they help create a more comprehensive and resilient security solution.
