What we do on Tenerife
German quality, Spanish location
An alarm system on Tenerife should be as reliable as your property – and as understandable as you are yourself. Protexium combines both: German engineering standards, planned by Protexium and installed by a registered local partner on the island.
In short: Protexium Security is a German security technology company that plans and supplies alarm systems and intrusion protection for English-speaking clients on Tenerife. Installation is carried out by registered local installation partners, and 24/7 monitoring is available on request through a licensed alarm receiving centre (CRA). The systems are EN 50131 certified, communicate independently of Wi-Fi via dual SIM, and the client owns the hardware outright, with no leasing.
Consultation & support in English
All communication – from the initial security analysis to troubleshooting in an emergency – is conducted in your language. No language barrier between you and your security.
German & European certification
EN 50131, EN 50132, EN 62676, CE and RoHS. The same standards that insurers accept in Germany also apply on Tenerife. Insurance discounts included.
Optional 24/7 monitoring
On request, your system is connected to a licensed alarm receiving centre (CRA). If an alarm is triggered, your designated contacts and the emergency services (112, Guardia Civil, Policía) are notified in line with your personal alarm plan.
For villas, fincas & holiday homes
Whether a detached villa in Adeje, a finca near La Orotava or an apartment in Puerto de la Cruz – the zone protection concept is tailored individually to the plot, building and usage profile.
Self-defending house
In response to verified break-in attempts, CS-gas modules, security fog, lighting and acoustic deterrence activate automatically. Intruders leave the property before any damage can occur.
Anti-squatter protection against Okupas
For second homes and holiday properties: discreet presence simulation and immediate monitoring-centre response prevent occupations by Okupas and Inquiokupas before Spanish eviction law even has to be invoked.

Answers for Tenerife
Frequently asked questions about security on Tenerife
Everything English-speaking residents and holiday property owners want to know before their first consultation.
Is there a German security company on Tenerife?
Yes. Protexium Security is a German security company headquartered in Wendelstein (Bavaria) that specifically serves English- and German-speaking clients on Tenerife. Consultation, planning and support are provided in English, German or Spanish, and installation is carried out by a registered local installation partner. The technology complies with German and European standards (EN 50131, EN 50132, CE).
In which locations on Tenerife does Protexium operate?
Protexium covers the entire island. Focus areas are the north (Puerto de la Cruz, La Orotava, La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife) and the south (Las Galletas, Los Cristianos, Costa Adeje, Adeje, Arona). On-site consultation appointments are available in all municipalities.
What is a self-defending house and is it available on Tenerife?
A self-defending house is a property that actively responds to a verified break-in attempt – for example through security fog, CS-gas modules, acoustic deterrence and strobe lights. Protexium offers this solution as an integral part of the zone protection concept (Zone 2) on Tenerife as well. Activation only takes place after multi-stage alarm verification in order to rule out false triggers.
How much does an alarm system on Tenerife cost?
Costs depend on the size of the property, the desired level of protection and local conditions (villa, finca, holiday apartment or terraced house). Following a free on-site security analysis on Tenerife, you will receive a transparent quotation with no hidden costs. The hardware is your property – Protexium does not use leasing models.
What is anti-squatter protection (Okupas / Inquiokupas) and why is it important on Tenerife?
Anti-squatter protection safeguards your holiday property or second residence against illegal occupation by squatters (Okupas) or tenant squatters (Inquiokupas). In Spain, eviction after an established occupation is legally complex and can take months. Protexium plans a combination of presence simulation, access monitoring and immediate alerting so that an occupation never takes place in the first place.
Does the alarm system on Tenerife work during power outages?
Yes. All Protexium systems feature battery backup and an independent radio network with dual SIM redundancy across two mobile network providers. This keeps the connection to the monitoring centre alive even during power outages or Wi-Fi disruptions on Tenerife.
Do I need to sign a maintenance contract with Protexium on Tenerife?
No. The hardware is yours with no ongoing instalments. Maintenance contracts and the 24/7 connection to a licensed alarm receiving centre (CRA) are optional and discussed transparently. For holiday properties we particularly recommend the monitoring-centre connection, because you are not on-site yourself when an alarm is triggered.
Are Protexium alarm systems on Tenerife compliant with insurers?
Yes. All systems are certified to EN 50131 (intrusion and hold-up alarm systems). This standard is recognised by German and Spanish insurers alike. Many clients thereby obtain better terms on their buildings and contents insurance, both in the UK/Germany and in Spain.
