Sector Alarm has revolutionized the prevention of illegal occupations in Spain with its advanced monitoring system, capable of detecting and managing alerts in less than 15 seconds. This system allows for immediate action in collaboration with the Security Forces, preventing many occupation attempts from materializing.
In a context where home security, especially with vacant homes, is becoming increasingly concerning, Sector Alarm has positioned itself as a leader in the home and business alarm market. According to the company itself, prevention has become a priority for many homeowners in light of the growing number of intrusion attempts and illegal occupations.
Oliver de la Rica, CEO of Sector Alarm, emphasizes the importance of acting promptly: “Speed in action is crucial. Detecting and intervening at the right moment can make the difference between a minor incident and a more serious problem.” This proactive approach is reflected in recent cases, such as one in April, where the Alarm Receiving Center identified an intrusion through a sensor on the door of a vacant home. Thanks to the quick alert to the authorities, an individual attempting to force the lock was apprehended.
Sector Alarm emphasizes that rapid detection also has legal benefits. If an intrusion occurs in an inhabited home, it is considered trespassing, allowing for more direct police intervention. However, when intrusions are not detected in time or occur in vacant homes, the legal repercussions can be more complicated.
Data from the National Institute of Statistics indicate that there are more than 3.8 million vacant homes in Spain, many of them not regularly used and vulnerable to intrusions. Additionally, the Ministry of the Interior records more than 16,000 annual complaints of illegal occupations. Although these numbers may seem low compared to the total number of homes, the emotional impact on homeowners is significant.
“The concern is not just about numbers, but about the perceived security of people. The peace of mind of having a system that detects and acts in a matter of seconds is invaluable,” says de la Rica.
In this scenario, Sector Alarm highlights the importance of prevention and fast response as the best measures to protect homes and provide peace of mind to homeowners. The company advocates for a operational model based on constant surveillance and quick response, ensuring that, in the majority of cases, intrusions are effectively resolved before they consolidate.
