Integration of TamperShield™ alarm monitoring with advanced JamAlert™ technology enables Interface to stop break-ins before they happen
Criminals are increasingly using portable cellular jammers to disable alarm systems before attempting a break-in. To address this growing threat, Interface Systems has enhanced its alarm monitoring capabilities by integrating JamAlert™ technology with its TamperShield™ alarm monitoring service.
The integration introduces an additional layer of protection designed to detect cellular signal interference before criminals can disable security systems. This proactive approach enables businesses to identify potential break-in attempts earlier and respond faster.
JamAlert™, developed by Digital Monitoring Products (DMP), is an advanced cellular jammer detection device that monitors alarm system frequencies and identifies unusual interference patterns. When jamming activity is detected, the system immediately triggers an alert, allowing security teams to investigate and respond before a breach occurs.
Early Detection Of Cellular Jamming
Portable cellular jammers are increasingly being used to disrupt alarm communications, particularly in high-value environments such as jewelry stores, financial institutions, and museums. These devices block the signals that connect alarm panels to monitoring centers, allowing criminals to attempt break-ins without triggering alerts.
JamAlert continuously monitors cellular frequencies used by alarm systems. When abnormal interference is detected, the device generates an alarm that signals a potential security threat.
According to Steve Womer, SVP of Product at Interface Systems, the integration changes how organizations detect and respond to sophisticated break-in attempts.
“TamperShield with JamAlert provides early visibility into sophisticated break-in attempts. Instead of discovering interference after a break-in, we can identify a jamming attempt as it begins, verify activity through video monitoring, and respond quickly. This proactive approach helps deter crime and reduce loss.”
Layered Protection With TamperShield Monitoring
When JamAlert is combined with TamperShield monitoring, businesses gain a multi-layered defense system that includes:
- Early detection of cellular jamming attempts at the site level
- Continuous monitoring of panel connectivity through the Interactive Security Operations Center (iSOC)
- Live video verification to confirm suspicious activity
- Faster escalation, including staff alerts, law enforcement dispatch, and voice-down deterrence when threats are confirmed
The layered architecture allows monitoring teams to assess threats in real time and take immediate action before a break-in occurs.
Compatible With Existing Security Infrastructure
JamAlert is compatible with intrusion systems from Digital Monitoring Products and Honeywell, enabling organizations to enhance their security posture without replacing their current infrastructure.
This compatibility makes it easier for retailers, financial institutions, and other multi-location enterprises to upgrade protection against increasingly sophisticated attack methods.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is JamAlert?
JamAlert is a cellular jammer detection device developed by Digital Monitoring Products that identifies attempts to disrupt alarm communications using cellular interference.
2. What is TamperShield alarm monitoring?
TamperShield is an alarm monitoring service from Interface Systems that continuously monitors alarm panel connectivity and system health through its Interactive Security Operations Center.
3. Why are cellular jammers a security concern?
Criminals use cellular jammers to block the communication signals between alarm systems and monitoring centers, preventing alarms from being transmitted during a break-in attempt.
4. How does the integration improve security?
The combined solution detects cellular interference early, verifies threats using live video monitoring, and enables faster response actions such as alerts, voice-down deterrence, and law enforcement dispatch.
5. Can businesses use JamAlert with existing systems?
Yes. JamAlert is compatible with intrusion systems from Digital Monitoring Products and Honeywell, allowing organizations to upgrade security without replacing existing infrastructure.
