Interface Systems Elevates Security with JamAlert™ and TamperShield, Proactively Stopping Break-ins Before They Happen

In a significant move to counter evolving threats, Interface Systems, a premier managed service provider specializing in remote video monitoring, commercial security, business intelligence, and network services for multi-location enterprises, has announced a powerful integration: JamAlert™ into its TamperShield alarm monitoring service. This strategic enhancement aims to neutralize one of today’s most sophisticated criminal tactics – cellular jamming – by detecting attempts to disable alarms *before* a breach even begins.

The threat landscape is shifting, with sophisticated criminals increasingly deploying portable cellular jammers to disrupt alarm communications, particularly targeting high-value environments like jewelry stores, financial institutions, and museums. JamAlert™ directly addresses this challenge. This cutting-edge device from Digital Monitoring Products (DMP) diligently monitors cellular frequencies utilized by alarm systems. The moment abnormal signal interference is detected, JamAlert™ immediately triggers an alarm, providing an invaluable early warning of a potential security incident in progress.

The true power lies in its synergy with TamperShield, Interface Systems’ robust alarm monitoring service. TamperShield continuously monitors the vital “heartbeat” communications from alarm panels at Interface’s state-of-the-art Interactive Security Operations Center (iSOC). Together, JamAlert™ and TamperShield forge a formidable, multi-layered defense system, offering businesses unprecedented protection that encompasses:

• Early detection of jamming attempts at the site level
• Continuous monitoring of panel connectivity at the iSOC
• Live video verification to assess suspicious activity
• Faster escalation, including staff notification, law enforcement dispatch and voice-down deterrence when a credible threat is confirmed

“TamperShield with JamAlert™ delivers critical, early visibility into sophisticated break-in attempts,” stated Steve Womer, SVP of Product at Interface Systems. “Our ability to identify a jamming attempt as it begins, rather than discovering interference after a breach, transforms our security posture. We can swiftly verify the activity through live video monitoring and respond instantaneously. This proactive strategy is paramount in deterring crime and significantly reducing potential losses for our clients.”

Crucially, JamAlert™ offers broad compatibility, integrating seamlessly with both DMP and Honeywell intrusion systems. This flexibility enables businesses to significantly enhance their security posture and mitigate advanced threats without the need for costly and disruptive infrastructure overhauls.
