Start a conversation Choose the right Kenmie solution
Kenmie Secure is coming soon as an armed intrusion-alarm service. Kenmie SiteWatch is available for continuous facility and environmental monitoring. Some properties need one; others may ultimately benefit from both.
The planned service is for properties that need to be armed against unauthorized entry and require a defined alarm response.
When the business needs continuous awareness of conditions that could damage equipment, inventory, or operations.
When both risks matter
The services are designed to be complementary. Once available, Kenmie Secure can handle intrusion and alarm response while SiteWatch separately monitors temperature, humidity, water, and operational conditions.
Side-by-side
The important distinction is not whether both systems can detect activity. It is what the event means and what response follows.
| Capability | Kenmie Secure — Coming Soon | Kenmie SiteWatch |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Detect intrusion and support an alarm response | Identify facility and environmental conditions |
| How it operates | Armed and disarmed around occupancy and schedules | Continuously watches configured conditions |
| Typical sensors | Door, window, motion, and glass-break | Entry, motion, water, temperature, and humidity |
| Keypad and user codes | Yes | No traditional alarm keypad |
| On-site siren | A core system capability | Not the primary response method |
| Mobile notifications | Security status and supported alarm events | Facility and environmental condition alerts |
| Professional monitoring | Optional with the Monitored service level | Not included |
| Emergency dispatch | Available through professional monitoring | Not included |
| Environmental monitoring | Not part of the service | A core SiteWatch capability |
| Underlying platform | Professional alarm panel, encrypted sensors, and cellular or Internet communication | Long-range wireless sensor gateway and cloud management |
Common starting points
Kenmie confirms the final design after reviewing the building, operating needs, communication options, and response expectations.
Use an armed intrusion system when the main requirement is protecting entrances, windows, interior areas, and the property after hours.
Use continuous monitoring when temperature, humidity, water, or an unexpected facility condition could interrupt operations or damage property.
Plan intrusion protection alongside SiteWatch monitoring for the equipment and environmental conditions the business depends on.
A simple dividing line: Kenmie Secure is planned to address unauthorized entry. SiteWatch reports environmental and facility conditions. Neither service includes fire, smoke, heat, carbon monoxide, gas, sprinkler, or medical-alert monitoring.
