In Kingston, Jamaica, decades of high crime coupled with the failure of the state to effectively provide public security have given rise to a booming private security industry. In this landscape, middle- and upper-class residents have turned to electronic security technologies to fortify their homes against the threat of a home intrusion. In this article, I focus on the Intrusion Detection System (IDS), a widely used electronic security system in Kingston. Attuned to threats through the mobilization of haptic, kinaesthetic, and thermoceptive capabilities, the IDS presents an alternate vision of urban security-that is, one not tethered to the primacy of the electronic gaze. In considering the discourse of electronic security providers and middle-class residents who live in gated enclosures, I interrogate the IDS as an extra-sensory sentinel assemblage and as a critical urban actor. Doing so reveals, I argue, how the IDS is changing how the risk/crime of a home intrusion is being temporally, spatially, and relationally anticipated and experienced both within and beyond the fortified domestic sphere. This article highlights the importance of integrating non-human and non-visual sensorialities into discussions of security in high-crime urban contexts
