Security & Environmental Sensors for Kansas City Businesses

Motion, glass break, door contacts, water, temperature, and humidity on one platform, with alerts that reach you in seconds. CyteWorks installs and supports UniFi sensors for Kansas City businesses, including freezer and cooler monitoring for food operations.

The alert that saves you money is not always a break-in.

A walk-in freezer drifting warm overnight can cost more than a burglary. So can a water leak in a server closet on a Saturday. The same sensor platform that watches your doors and windows watches temperature, humidity, and water, and tells you while it is still fixable.

We have deployed motion and glass break sensors for Kansas City businesses, and environmental sensors monitoring walk-in meat freezers for a local food operation. Sensors report into UniFi Protect alongside your cameras, so an alert arrives with the video of whatever caused it.

One thing we want to be straight about: these are self-monitored systems. Alerts go to you and your team, and sirens sound on site. They do not report to a central station and they do not dispatch police or fire. If monitored dispatch is what you need, we will say so and point you to an alarm company that provides it.

Glass Break Detection

The UniFi glass break sensor pairs an acoustic microphone with a motion sensor and is rated for plate, tempered, laminated, coated, obscured, and wired glass. Battery powered with a tamper switch, so there is no cable run to a window.

Motion & Door Contacts

Motion sensors and door and window contacts covering entries, back rooms, and anywhere that should stay closed after hours. Tamper protected, with multi-year battery life.

Freezer & Cooler Monitoring

Temperature and humidity sensors for walk-ins, coolers, and server rooms, alerting before product is at risk. We have done exactly this for a Kansas City food business monitoring meat freezers.

Water Leak Detection

A leak probe under the water heater, in the server closet, or beside the mop sink. Finding out at 2am beats finding out Monday morning.

Local Sirens & Key Fobs

Sirens rated at 110 dB for audible response on site, and key fobs that trigger programmed actions without opening an app. Audible and app alerts only — this is not a monitored alarm and it does not summon police.

Alerts Routed To The Right People

Rules decide who hears about what: the freezer alert goes to the kitchen manager, the server room leak comes to us. Alerts can also trigger sirens, lights, or camera actions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a monitored alarm system?
No, and we want to be clear about it. These are self-monitored systems. Alerts reach you and your staff through the app, and sirens sound on site, but there is no central station behind them and they do not dispatch police or fire. CyteWorks has not deployed central-station reporting, so we are not going to sell it as though we had. If monitored dispatch is a requirement for your insurance or your peace of mind, tell us and we will say so plainly rather than talk you into something else.
What can the sensors actually detect?
Glass break, motion, door and window opening, temperature, humidity, ambient light, and water leaks, depending on which sensors you deploy. The glass break sensor is rated for plate, tempered, laminated, coated, obscured, and wired glass within a defined pane size and thickness range, so we check your actual windows against that specification rather than assuming it covers them.
Can you monitor our walk-in freezers?
Yes, and we already do. A Kansas City food business runs environmental sensors on its meat freezers through us, alerting on temperature before product is at risk. The same approach works for coolers, server rooms, and anywhere a few degrees of drift gets expensive.
Do the sensors need cabling?
Mostly not. The intrusion and environmental sensors are wireless and battery powered with multi-year battery life, and environmental sensors are rated for up to six years. They report to a gateway on your network, which makes them practical to retrofit into an existing building without pulling cable to every window and freezer.
