Anti-theft alarm realizes “multidimensional prevention and control” and creates an intelligent service ecology.
Burglar alarm systems, as a vital component of modern home and commercial security, are gaining increasing attention and importance. They not only effectively prevent incidents such as theft and illegal intrusion but also enhance residents’ sense of security and quality of life to a certain extent.
According to relevant data, the global security alarm market has surpassed $40 billion, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5% from 2023 to 2028. Additionally, the global commercial security alarm system market reached $1.811 billion in sales in 2024 and is projected to grow to $2.693 billion by 2031, with a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2031.
This robust market growth potential is undoubtedly driven by demands for smart cities, home security, and enterprise security upgrades.
Technology-Empowered, Weaving a Multi-Dimensional Security Network
The home represents one of the primary application scenarios for burglar alarms. Based on specific scenarios and functional differences, traditional systems can be broadly categorized as follows:
The most basic conventional systems include door and window alarms. Later developments introduced infrared alarms, which utilize infrared technology to monitor object movement within a space, triggering an alert upon detecting abnormal intrusion. Additionally, glass break detectors monitor specific sound waves produced when glass shatters to identify unauthorized entry.
Smart security systems integrate multiple functions—video surveillance, intrusion alarms, access control—to deliver comprehensive protection. While smoke detectors primarily monitor fire hazards, certain models also link with burglar systems to enhance security.
With the surge in smart home demand, devices like smoke alarms, gas leak detectors, and intrusion sensors have become household essentials. Beyond residential markets, commercial and industrial settings—including factories, warehouses, and data centers—show growing demand for perimeter alarms and fire warnings. In public safety, government initiatives like “Safe Cities” and the “Snow Bright Project” have significantly expanded alarm system coverage in public areas.
In recent years, security alarm products have evolved from “single-function devices” toward intelligent IoT solutions encompassing “multi-dimensional risk prevention systems” and “smart service ecosystems.” Competition now centers on technological depth and scenario penetration.
Focus on Intelligence
The integration of AI algorithms (such as behavior recognition and voice recognition) with the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving alarm systems from “passive response” to “proactive early warning.”
Focus on Cloud Platform Adoption
Cloud storage and remote management capabilities have become standard features, enabling users to achieve multi-area coordinated alarms through cloud platforms.
Focus on Multi-Technology Convergence
Alarm systems are deeply integrated with video surveillance, access control, and fire protection equipment, forming “one-stop” security solutions.
Competing at CPSE: From Traditional Security to Smart IoT
From a vendor perspective, traditional burglar alarm manufacturers have long expanded their business scope into smart security systems and even smart IoT, IoT sensing, and related fields. Representative companies such as Huanyutong, Ailian, Hayman, Maichi, Congwen Security, Star Security IoT, Woltou, and Yaojing Technology. At the CPSE Security Expo from October 28-31 this year, these leading manufacturers will once again demonstrate their capacity for continuous innovation and creation.
Huanyutong’s core offerings include: – “One-Touch Emergency Assistance Alarm System” and “Bank ATM Emergency Assistance Intercom System” for smart security; – “Digital Medical Care Intercom System” for smart healthcare and elderly care; – “Interactive Management System” and “Prison Visitation Management System” for smart prisons; – “Wireless Call System” for IoT applications. These solutions provide clients with comprehensive intelligent integrated services.
Ailian focuses on professional alarm products including perimeter intrusion alarms, indoor alarm detection, networked alarm systems, and one-touch emergency alarms. At the 2025 CPSE Security Expo, Ailian will debut its new AMS wireless alarm system. Centered on its proprietary AMS wireless protocol, the system integrates “individual products + comprehensive solutions,” showcasing the beauty of smart IoT.
