B5 Beveiligingstechniek BV

What B5 Beveiligingstechniek BV does

B5 Beveiligingstechniek BV is a Dutch electronic security systems integrator headquartered in Reeuwijk, Zuid-Holland, founded in January 2015 by Charl Baas and Stephan Vijfhuizen, both of whom previously held 10+ years of security-technology roles at Hulst Beveiligingstechniek BV. The company designs, installs, certifies and maintains integrated security systems for residential and commercial customers across the Netherlands, with a core portfolio spanning intrusion detection (inbraakbeveiliging), fire detection and evacuation systems (BMI/OAI brandbeveiliging), IP-based CCTV camera installations, access control (toegangscontrole), emergency lighting (noodverlichting), and evacuation floor plans (ontruimingsplattegronden), plus data network cabling for commercial facilities. Hardware is sourced from third-party manufacturers including Hikvision (AX Pro), Hertek (Penta Solisto, XPander wireless), Aritech/Carrier, Notifier, NSC, Paxton (Net2), and Bandit mist generators, with 24/7 alarm monitoring routed through SMC Alarmcentrale and remote management via vendor apps such as Hik-Connect and UltraSync.\n\nThe business holds the BORG Technisch Beveiligingsbedrijf (BORG-E) certification for electronic security, the VCA* safety certification, and Erkend Leerbedrijf status, which collectively enable in-house certification of intrusion systems and compliance with insurer and Dutch regulatory (Bouwbesluit, Arbo-wet) requirements. Revenue is generated through one-time installation projects (hardware sales plus integration labor) and recurring service streams including 24/7 monitoring subscriptions (e.g., MY SOS personal alarm at €20/month), monthly fire-detection inspections, and annual emergency-lighting checks. In December 2023 B5 restructured from a VOF to a BV and on 1 January 2024 acquired Hulst Beveiligingstechniek BV, consolidating all operations in Reeuwijk.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Sector Alarm: European residential and SME alarm provider with limited but growing Dutch presence. Comparable monitored-alarm subscription model to B5's MY SOS service, though stronger in Nordic markets than in the Netherlands.

Broad incumbents

• Stanley Security: Global electronic security systems integrator (now operating as Securitas Technology) with Dutch operations delivering integrated intrusion, access control, video, and fire detection for enterprise customers. Overlaps with B5's commercial offering at the upper end of the market.
• Securitas: Global security services leader with a substantial Netherlands operation spanning guarding, electronic security installation, and monitoring. Competes with B5 for mid-market and enterprise security contracts while also offering the manned-services portfolio B5 does not.
• Verisure: Europe's largest residential alarm specialist with strong Dutch subscriber base. Directly competes with B5's residential segment on monitored intrusion alarms, while operating at vastly greater scale and brand recognition.
• Johnson Controls: Global building technologies incumbent providing fire detection, security, and building management system integration. Competes with B5 on larger commercial fire detection (BMI/OAI-equivalent) and integrated building security projects.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Global manufacturer and integrator of fire alarm, intrusion, access control, and video systems. Listed as one of B5's technology partners while also competing for large-scale integrated security projects through certified installer networks.

Direct peers

• Kooi Security: Dutch mobile video surveillance and intrusion specialist with national coverage of construction sites, events, and remote premises. Comparable Dutch-focused security technology integrator serving both temporary and permanent protection needs.
• VKP Beveiligingstechniek: Dutch BORG-certified electronic security installer; explicitly named in B5's data as the former partner that handled B5's alarm and fire detection certifications before B5 achieved BORG-E status. Directly comparable Dutch integrator of intrusion, fire, and access control systems.
• Trigion: One of the larger Dutch security services companies offering manned guarding, alarm response, and electronic security installation across the Netherlands. Overlapping customer base and product set (intrusion, CCTV, access control) with B5, but at substantially greater scale.

Emerging players

• Ajax Systems: Fast-growing wireless intrusion, fire, and smart home security systems manufacturer with overlapping product categories to B5's offering. Increasingly supplies professional installers across Europe, positioning it as both a potential supplier and a competitive threat as it expands direct channels.
