Specialist planning for intrusion detection, video security and access management
From a single secured area to a security network spanning multiple properties, planned and tendered manufacturer-independently.
Intrusion detection technology
The design and detailed planning of an intrusion detection system are governed by the security needs of the individual client, which we establish in detail. All stipulations are taken into account: those identified by the client, those required by the insurer, and those necessary for a police connection.
The basis for the design of these systems is found in the relevant DIN and VdS regulations. We support you in designing installations of every size, from small systems with only one secured area to complex security networks spanning multiple properties. Whether you speak of burglary protection, intrusion detection technology or an EMA: we plan the right solution for your site.
In addition, on request we produce an individual security concept for you, in order to specify precisely the protection objective and the associated task for each installation.
One particular focus is the threat analysis in the banking and savings-bank sector: for customer and bank vaults, strongrooms, self-service areas and night-safe installations. We assess the site's threat situation, derive from it the resistance classes, the type of monitoring and the organisational measures, and align the result with the insurer's requirements and the relevant VdS guidelines.
Video security
Video security today is far more than the mere recording of images. Modern video security systems form a central element of holistic security concepts and make a substantial contribution to protecting people, critical infrastructure, buildings and corporate assets.
PLANATEL plans high-performance video security solutions manufacturer-independently, technology-openly and in conformity with the standards, for industrial companies, KRITIS operators, energy utilities, data centres, public-sector clients, transport infrastructure and facilities in particular need of protection.
In modern video security installations, artificial intelligence takes on tasks such as object recognition, behavioural analysis and anomaly detection. Capable algorithms reliably distinguish between people, vehicles and other objects, analyse movement patterns and identify deviations from normal behaviour. False alarms are thereby reduced, security-relevant events are detected sooner, and the efficiency of the entire video installation is markedly increased.
The use of artificial intelligence and the growing interconnection of modern video security systems demand a holistic concept for information security and data protection. Alongside securing system access and encrypting data transmission, retention periods, deletion concepts and the audit-proof logging of user and system access must all be addressed as early as the planning phase.
Our service portfolio rests on many years of experience from demanding reference projects in automotive, energy supply, the chemical industry, public-sector clients and correctional facilities. As an independent specialist planning practice we support our clients, as required, across all project phases, from strategic consulting and concept design through to commissioning and acceptance.
Beyond that, we also support our clients on individual questions. These include the development of security and installation concepts, cost-effectiveness and option appraisals, feasibility studies, and the integration of modern video security systems into overarching PSIM and control room solutions. Our aim is to develop economical, future-proof and needs-based solutions, optimally matched to our clients' requirements.
Access management
Well-considered access management creates the basis for security, efficient operations and the economical administration of buildings and properties. We plan bespoke access and locking systems, matched precisely to the requirements of your building, your organisation and your users.
Together with you we analyse the organisational and security requirements of your site. We develop zoning concepts, define the necessary door functions, and take into account the stipulations arising from fire protection and escape route concepts. Future changes of use and extensions are built into the planning from the outset.
On that basis we develop economical and future-proof solutions, from mechanical locking systems through electronic access control systems to hybrid overall concepts. In selecting the systems, and in the question of which identification medium to use, we take account of the security requirements, the commercial considerations and the demands of data protection alike.
The result is a holistic access concept that meets security requirements, simplifies administrative processes and safeguards long-term security of investment, as independent specialist planning and consulting, tied to no locking system and no supplier.
Modernisation & optimisation of existing systems
Many of our projects begin with existing installations: a video system has aged, an access system is to be extended, a maintenance contract is to be reviewed. As a manufacturer-independent specialist planner, we assess your existing systems and contracts neutrally, with no interest in selling you a particular product. In optimising existing maintenance and servicing contracts we work, on request, on a success basis: our fee is a share of the savings actually achieved.
Who we plan intrusion detection, video and access systems for
The same installation is judged differently from every side: the specialist department asks about the protection objective, the owner about the follow-on costs, the operator about verifiability, the contracting authority about product neutrality. Our planning answers all four.
Security and specialist departments
We translate your protection objective into a specification that makes bids comparable. Instead of the next quote from your existing supplier you get genuine competition, and a rationale that holds up with management and insurers.
Operators of critical infrastructure
Perimeter, video, access and intrusion detection are planned as one system and connected to the overarching security management system. Retention periods, deletion concepts and audit-proof logging are part of the planning, not of the commissioning.
Banks, savings banks and financial services
For customer and bank safes, strongrooms, self-service areas and night safes we produce the threat analysis, derive resistance classes, monitoring type and organisational measures, and align them with your insurer's requirements and the applicable VdS guidelines.
Investors and building owners
We calculate over the service life, not over the purchase price: open systems instead of supplier lock-in, auditable maintenance contracts, and a zoning concept that survives the next change of tenant and the next change of use.
Public sector clients
Product-neutral specifications, transparent evaluation criteria and the technical review of the bids received. Data protection and co-determination are accounted for in the zoning and authorisation concept from the outset.

Frequently asked questions about intrusion detection, video & access management
Our video system is outdated. How do we approach modernisation?
With a neutral as-is survey: we assess the system, the infrastructure and the contracts, define the protection objectives with you, and plan the modernisation independently of any manufacturer. You then receive comparable bids, rather than the next bid from your existing supplier.
Why use an independent specialist planner rather than asking the manufacturer or installer directly?
Installers and manufacturers naturally advise in the direction of their own products. We advise solely in your interest: our recommendation rests on your requirements alone, and through the manufacturer-independent tender we create competition and comparable bids.
What must be considered for access management and data protection?
Access systems process personal data; their planning and operation must be designed in compliance with data protection law and are as a rule subject to works-council codetermination. We take these requirements into account in the zoning and authorisation concept, as we do retention periods and logging.
Does PLANATEL also plan small installations?
We support installations of every size, from a single secured area to a security network spanning multiple properties. Our clients are exclusively companies and public-sector bodies: security and specialist departments, operators of critical infrastructure, investors and building owners, and the public sector.
Does the intrusion detection system have to be connected to the police?
That depends on your insurer’s requirements. Where a police connection is required, we take the necessary requirements into account, as we do all insurer requirements and the relevant DIN and VdS regulations, at the concept and detailed design stage.
Why do I need an intrusion detection system?
The requirement generally arises from the operator’s or your insurer’s stipulations and from the security concept: the threat analysis shows which areas are to be protected, and how.
