Paradox

Paradox has designed and manufactured intrusion detection equipment in Montreal since 1989, building a reputation on its own motion-detector technology before expanding into full alarm panels and hybrid wired/wireless systems. Its current Digiplex EVO platform merges intrusion and access control into one system: the panel's own user database can manage up to 32 doors, so entry events and alarm states interact directly — a door unlock can automatically disarm a zone, for example — without stitching together two separate platforms and two credential databases.

Connectivity runs through the IP150+ internet module, which pairs the panel with the Insite Gold app for remote arming, zone monitoring and output control, secured with SSL/HTTPS and encryption. For technicians, this means fewer components to install and commission on small-to-mid-size commercial sites wanting combined intrusion and door control without an enterprise access platform. Paradox remains a manufacturer-only company — it doesn't run monitoring services — keeping it neutral ground between integrators and monitoring centres.
