Intrusions: a growing challenge for shopping centres
Shopping centres are facing increasingly sophisticated threats.
Burglars exploit even the smallest security gaps, using advanced techniques to bypass traditional security systems.
The risks are varied and can result in significant financial losses, as well as creating a sense of insecurity among retailers and visitors: night-time break-ins, discreet reconnaissance during the day, coordinated attacks and more.
Aware of these challenges, a major shopping centre in French-speaking Switzerland decided to strengthen its security in order to effectively protect its premises, employees and customers.
The objective: implement a solution capable of detecting, deterring and stopping any attempted intrusion before it can cause damage.
The shopping centre chose Protectas and its solution combining innovative technology with human intervention, ensuring a fast and effective response in the event of an incident.
Result: intrusion stopped and 5 suspects apprehended
When five individuals attempted to break into the premises, the technologies deployed by Protectas enabled:
- Immediate detection of the intrusion using radar and thermal cameras.
- Proactive deterrence through loudspeakers activated by our Security Operations Centre (SOC) operators.
- A rapid response, with mobile patrols dispatched to the site.
- A coordinated police response, leading to the immediate arrest of one suspect and the apprehension of the other four a few hours later.

The success story
How Protectas implemented an effective and responsive security solution
To provide optimal protection for the shopping centre, Protectas designed and deployed a high-performance, responsive security system combining the latest surveillance technologies with coordinated human intervention.
- Reliable detection from the very first suspicious movement: two high-precision radar systems cover the entire perimeter, enabling attempted intrusions to be identified immediately and leaving intruders little chance of going unnoticed.
- Immediate and effective deterrence with 10 strategically positioned loudspeakers: intruders are immediately confronted with audible warning messages designed to deter them and encourage them to leave the premises before taking further action.
- Continuous surveillance, day and night: 30 PTZ and thermal cameras monitor the premises, providing full 24/7 visibility regardless of weather or lighting conditions.
- Real-time response for decisive action: the Security Operations Centre (SOC), operational 24/7, analyses incidents immediately and initiates the appropriate procedures within seconds.
- Fast and coordinated on-site intervention: mobile patrols are ready to respond as soon as a threat is confirmed, enabling an effective response to attempted malicious activity.
This proactive and responsive security solution provides reliable protection tailored to the specific needs of the shopping centre, helping to ensure peace of mind for retailers and visitors alike.
