Alarm Systems in Kenya are designed to detect intrusion – unauthorized entry – into a building or other area such as a home or school.

These systems are commonly used in residential, commercial, industrial, and military properties for protection against burglary (theft) or property damage, as well as personal protection against intruders.

These systems in residential areas show a correlation with decreased theft. Car alarms likewise help protect vehicles and their contents. Prisons also use security systems for control of inmates.
