Knowing how to identify the signs of a possible burglary in time can be the difference between avoiding an intrusion or regretting its consequences. Although many people think that burglaries are impulsive acts, the reality is that in most cases burglars carefully plan the attack, especially in homes and businesses with visible routines and little protection. At Alarmas Catalunya, after years installing security systems in homes and premises, we have detected patterns that are repeated before a robbery. Silent signals, suspicious behavior or physical marks that often go unnoticed… until it is too late. In this article we tell you the most frequent signs that you could be a target. And, most importantly, what you can do to act in time to protect what matters most to you.

Every summer, thousands of families face the same uncomfortable doubt: What if they occupy my house while I am away? It may seem exaggerated, but in cities like Barcelona, where we work in Alarmas Catalunya, squatting has gone from being an exception to a real and recurrent threat, in fact Catalunya is the autonomous community with more squats in Spain, we can see it here or here. We have received many calls to install anti-squatting alarms, and it is not pleasant to return from vacation and discover that someone has entered your property. In some cases it’s an attempted burglary, in others it’s a straightforward squat. This article seeks to give you clear answers: Is it legal? What does the law say? How can you avoid it?

\n\t\t\t

Industrial security has evolved a lot in recent years. It is no longer enough to have an audible alarm and a camera: today the key is early, intelligent and accurate detection. In this context, motion detectors in industrial environments are an essential component. But a recurring question arises: are they really reliable? From our experience in Alarmas Catalunya, where we protect from small warehouses to logistic complexes, we can affirm that yes, they are. But with nuances. Industrial environments have unique challenges: dust, vibrations, extreme temperatures, mechanical interference, large space volumes… And not all sensors are designed to withstand these conditions without failure or false alarms. Reliability depends, to a large extent, on choosing the right technology, installing it correctly and keeping it well calibrated. In this article we will discuss how these detectors work, what types exist, which ones are most reliable in the industry and what mistakes to<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead more \"\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Every day, hundreds of small businesses in Spain are victims of theft. And we are not just talking about occasional thefts or carelessness. We are talking about specific techniques, planned and executed by criminals who know well how to operate. The objective is always the same: to get in, cause as much damage as possible and get away with something of value, in minutes or even seconds. At Alarmas Catalunya, we protect businesses of all kinds, from small stores to large industrial warehouses, and we have seen how the creativity of criminals evolves year after year. That is why knowing these techniques is not only useful: it is essential to prevent them. In this article I explain the most common forms of burglary used today against small businesses, how they operate, what warning signs to look out for and, of course, how you can protect your premises before it’s too<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead more \"\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

If you are considering installing an alarm system, you have probably come across terms such as “grade 2”, “grade 3” or “grade 4”. But what do they really mean? Alarm security levels are a technical classification that indicates the level of protection offered by a system against intrusion or sabotage attempts. It is not a commercial whim or a fad: it is a European regulation that establishes objective criteria on what type of alarm is appropriate according to the type of property, its activity and its level of exposure to risk. In other words, protecting a single-family house in a housing development is not the same as protecting a jewelry store or a logistics center. Each situation has its own requirements, and that is why there are grades. From our experience at Alarmas Catalunya, we see it every day: many customers have installed systems that do not meet the grade<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead more \"\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Securing an industrial building today is not the same as it was ten years ago. In 2025, technological evolution has completely transformed security needs and solutions. Criminals are more sophisticated, threats are more diverse and the consequences of a breach can be devastating, both in terms of financial loss and reputational damage. We know it first hand. At Alarmas Catalunya we have been working for years in the protection of industrial buildings and we have seen how traditional systems have fallen short of today’s challenges. Therefore, in this article I want to share with you real, updated and functional keys to protect your industrial building in 2025. All based on what we apply every day with our customers. You will see from basic evaluations to solutions with artificial intelligence that eliminate the typical errors of old perimeter systems.
