Design your intrusion alarm layout plans
Place detectors, control panel, sirens and dialer on the building floor plan, document the zoning and deliver a clear technical dossier. A symbol library built for intrusion detection, with no CAD skills required.
Everything to document an intrusion detection system
More than a drawing tool: a layout assistant built for alarm installers and security design offices.
Motion and perimeter detectors
Place motion detectors (passive infrared, dual-technology, microwave) and perimeter protection (door contacts, glass-break detectors, beams) along with their coverage zones. Every symbol is clear and normalized.
Control panel, keypad and command devices
Locate the alarm control panel, keypads, badge readers and arming devices. Clear labeling makes commissioning, maintenance and remote diagnostics easier.
Indoor and outdoor sirens
Mark the location of audible and visual alarm devices (indoor sirens, self-powered outdoor sirens with strobe) to cover every area and deter intruders with no blind spot.
Dialer and monitoring link
Place the dialer (GSM/IP) and show the link to the monitoring center. The plan documents the alarm signalling path used for alarm verification.
Zoning and point numbering
Split the system into zones (groups/partitions) with a clear color code and number each detection point. The maintainer gets an immediately usable document during interventions.
Technical dossier export
Export to high-definition vector PDF (A4, A3, A2) ready for the technical dossier handed to the client or insurer. Plans are named, dated and versioned automatically in the cloud.
Why build your intrusion layout plans with Fabrik?
The layout plan is the centerpiece of an intrusion alarm dossier: it locates every detector, command device and alarm device on the actual building. It is the document the installer uses during installation, the maintainer during interventions and the client at handover.
Built on a generic tool, these plans are slow to produce and hard to keep up to date. Fabrik starts from the existing floor plan (architect PDF, scan, photo) and lets you place equipment by drag and drop, with millimeter precision and no technical drawing training.
Intrusion detection installations are designed against risk levels and certification frameworks. A clear, zoned and numbered plan makes the dialogue with the insurer easier and supports the installation's compliance with the targeted level.
Because one building often needs several plans (intrusion, but also evacuation and video), Fabrik lets you work on all of them from the same imported floor plan. You deliver a consistent dossier without redrawing the building geometry each time.
Floor plan import and assisted drawing
Import the architect plan (PDF, DWG, scan or photo) and redraw or annotate on top. Magnetic snapping speeds up the placement of walls, openings and equipment. You get a clean, to-scale plan without starting from a blank page.
Fast updates on every change
A detector added, a zone changed, a room repurposed: open the cloud-stored plan, edit and re-export within minutes. Version history is kept automatically, useful in case of a dispute or installation handover.
A consistent dossier for all of security
Intrusion, video surveillance and evacuation can be documented from the same tool and the same floor plan. Your dossiers keep a consistent visual style, which clients and principals appreciate at handover.
Frequently asked questions about intrusion layout plans
What is an intrusion alarm layout plan used for?
It locates on the building floor plan all the intrusion detection equipment: detectors, door contacts, control panel, keypads, sirens and dialer. It is the reference for installation, commissioning, maintenance and handover of the technical dossier to the client and insurer.
Does Fabrik handle zoning and point numbering?
Yes. You split the system into zones (groups or partitions) with a color code and number each detection point. The plan stays readable and directly usable by the maintainer.
Can I import the architect plan as a background?
Yes. Fabrik accepts PDF, PNG, JPG and DWG. You redraw or annotate on top using magnetic drawing tools to place walls, openings and equipment.
Are the plans suitable for intrusion certification frameworks?
Fabrik produces clear, zoned and numbered layout plans that help document an installation designed against the chosen risk level and certification framework. The software is a plan tool: the installation's compliance remains the responsibility of the installer and the certifying body.
Can I make the intrusion plan and the evacuation plan for the same building?
Yes. On the same imported floor plan you create the intrusion layout plan, the ISO 7010 evacuation plan and the video surveillance plan. One tool for a complete, consistent security dossier.
How do I update a plan after adding a detector?
Plans are stored in the cloud. You open the relevant plan, add the detector, adjust the zone if needed and re-export the PDF within minutes. Each version is archived automatically.
