What Protech does

Protech (Protection Technologies Inc., DBA PROTECH USA) is a Nevada-incorporated designer and manufacturer of perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS), founded in 1980 and headquartered in Sparks, Nevada. The company is a member of France-based VITAPROTECH group following its merger with SORHEA Technology, and operates additional sales/engineering offices in St-Laurent, Canada and Mexico City, with products manufactured across the USA, France, and Canada. Its portfolio spans seven technology families: integration software/hardware (SPECTRA, MAXIBUS UNIVERSAL, CONNECT MODULE, SmartBridge), active infrared barriers (BIRIS II, MIRIS 3100, MAXIRIS 3100, SOLARIS, PORTALIS), accelerometer-based fence-mounted sensors (G-FENCE 3000, 2400 IP65, 600Z and the G-WALL extension), dual-technology PIRAMID volumetric sensors using proprietary Stereo Doppler microwave with passive infrared, the triple-technology APIRIS 3100 barrier, and the 2025-launched HATCHSECURE hatch detection system. Protech claims to be the first manufacturer of solar-powered and wireless intrusion detection systems and the only producer of false-alarm-free stereo Doppler motion sensors.

The company serves eleven verticals with primary focus on utilities, military & defense, nuclear, corrections, oil & gas/petrochemical, transportation & logistics, government, commercial/industrial, solar, VIP estates, and secondarily cannabis facilities. Go-to-market is sales-led through system integrators and security consultants, with products distributed via ADI Global Distribution, PSA Network (vendor partner within the world's largest systems integrator consortium), Wesco/Anixter, and co-marketed with Hirsch (a VITAPROTECH sister brand). Pricing is quote-based with MSRP available through a registered customer portal. Differentiated technical credentials include USAF Protection Level 1 Nuclear & Below approval for PIRAMID XL-MIL, ISO 9001 certification since 1999, 8% of annual revenue reinvested in R&D, and a published performance envelope (probability of detection >0.95, false-alarm rate of 1/unit/year, 1-second alarm response, intrusion location accuracy within 10 feet). Notable quantifiable outcomes include Prob>0.95 detection, IP65-rated outdoor hardware, and ModBus TCP/API integration with seven major VMS platforms.
