You want to protect your home or business professionally – but how does the process actually work? Many prospective clients shy away from the first step because they fear ending up in an opaque sales process. At Protexium Security it is different: our planning process is transparent, comprehensible and tailored to your individual needs. In this article we show you step by step how a tailor-made security concept emerges from your first contact.
Why good planning determines effectiveness
An alarm system is only as good as its planning. The best camera is worthless if it is mounted at the wrong angle. The most powerful motion detector fails if it does not cover the blind spot behind the garage. That is why at Protexium we invest more time in planning than most competitors – because we know: „Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.“
According to a study by the German Insurance Association (GDV), over 30 percent of retrofitted security systems are not optimally used – often due to incorrect positioning or incomplete coverage. For professionally planned systems, the effectiveness rate is over 95 percent. The difference lies in the planning.
The Protexium process in 5 steps
Our planning process follows a proven 5-step model that we have perfected across hundreds of projects – from the city apartment to the industrial facility. Each step builds on the previous, and you retain full control at every stage.
Step 1: On-site security analysis – Your security check
Everything begins with listening. In the free security analysis, we jointly capture your needs, concerns and priorities. Whether you use the online security analysis or prefer an on-site appointment – the result is the same: a comprehensive assessment of your current security situation.
Our security consultant examines:
- Building structure: Windows, doors, basement, roof access, secondary entrances
- Environmental factors: Neighbourhood, visibility, potential escape routes for intruders
- Existing measures: Existing locks, cameras, lighting
- Individual risks: Valuables, absence times, family structure
„The security analysis is 100% free of charge and without obligation. You are under no commitment whatsoever – we promise.“

Step 2: Expert planning in Germany – Technology meets precision
After the security analysis, your data is transferred to our planning department in Germany. Here happens what distinguishes Protexium from many providers: qualified engineers create your technical concept – not salespeople.
Our planners use state-of-the-art tools:
- GEO data and aerial imagery: Satellite imagery shows the property from a bird's-eye view – including blind spots, access routes and sightlines that can be missed during a walk-through alone.
- CAD-based planning: Every camera, sensor and detector is positioned with millimetre precision – aligned with the architecture of your building.
- 4-zone protection model: Planning considers all four security zones – from perimeter protection (Zone 4) to the core area (Zone 1).
- Standards compliance: All concepts are created in accordance with EN 50131 and other relevant standards.
By using GEO data and aerial imagery, our planners identify weak points that are often missed during a purely on-site walk-through – such as concealed access via neighbouring properties or poorly visible rear sides.
Step 3: Your transparent quote – No small print
After planning, you receive a detailed quote that leaves no questions open. At Protexium, transparency means:
- Detailed breakdown: Each individual component is listed – with designation, installation location and price. You see exactly what you are paying for.
- No hidden costs: Installation, programming and briefing are included in the quote. There are no surprises.
- No subscription traps: You purchase your system – full stop. The optional monitoring centre connection is listed separately and cancellable monthly.
- Directly from the back office: Your quote comes not from a salesperson but directly from the planning department – factual, technically sound and free from sales pressure.
As a rule, you receive your finished quote within 48 hours of the security analysis. For more complex properties – such as industrial facilities or high-security areas – planning can take somewhat longer, because additional standards (TRAS 120, KAS 51) must be considered.
Step 4: Professional installation – Clean, fast, reliable
Once you have decided on your protection concept, our certified technicians take over the proper installation. What you can expect from a Protexium installation:
- Firm appointment commitment: We arrive punctually and keep to the agreed timeframe.
- Clean installation: Our wireless systems make time-consuming cable-laying unnecessary in most cases. No chiselling work, no construction site.
- Individual briefing: After installation, we explain every device, every function and every alarm to you and your family – for as long as it takes until all questions are answered.
- Functional test: Every sensor, camera and siren is individually tested and documented.
The typical installation time for a detached house is one working day. For commercial properties we plan individual time slots, often outside business hours, so as not to disrupt your operations.
Step 5: Monitoring centre connection & long-term support
Installation is not the end of the work – this is where the actual protection begins. Optionally, we connect your system to a VdS-certified alarm receiving centre that monitors your home or business around the clock.
- 24/7 monitoring: Every alarm is immediately assessed by trained specialists.
- Intervention chain: In the event of an emergency, you, your contact persons and, if necessary, the police or a security service are alerted.
- Photo verification: Cameras with image evaluation reduce false alarms to a minimum.
- Regular maintenance: We inform you about due battery changes, software updates and system checks.
What sets Protexium apart from other providers
The security market is full of providers promising quick solutions. But not every quick solution is a good solution. What sets us apart:
- Engineers instead of salespeople: Your system is planned by technicians, not commission recipients.
- In-house research & development: We develop protection solutions that do not exist elsewhere on the market – from active defence with CS gas to intelligent perimeter systems.
- Two locations, one standard: Whether in Germany or in Tenerife – you receive the same planning quality from a single source.
- No franchise, no subcontractor: Everything from a single source – consulting, planning, installation and service.
„Security that protects before danger arises“ – this is not just our motto but our planning principle.
