Intruder alarms act as a crime deterrent and in the event of a break-in, these systems will alert security staff and the public, discouraging further damage or disruption.
Sensors and Alarms
Our team will work with you to identify the specific needs of your property, recommend a suitable intruder alarm system and design the product layout with consideration to the structure and space of the premises.
We offer alarms with varying warning levels and security measures with features as simple as a signal notification sent to mobile phones to the more advanced, providing an automatic call to the police or a third-party monitoring firm. Alongside these features, our alarms can be installed with detectors, door contacts, internal and external bells, a keypad and a control panel.
Our services also cover the installation of passive infrared (PIR) detectors and dual-tech detectors, which combines PIR and ultrasonic technology. These sensors detect body heat and movement, and when combined, will sound the alarm.
Intruder alarms
A hybrid alarm system integrates wired and wireless technologies, providing a flexible security solution tailored to various installation needs. This approach is especially advantageous when certain detection can be conveniently wired, while others, situated in challenging locations, are better suited for wireless connectivity.
Additionally, hybrid systems can be graded according to the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) standards, which assess the security requirements of different areas. This means you can implement a graded approach, deploying high-security measures in critical areas while utilising less intensive solutions in lower-risk areas. This adaptability allows for a comprehensive security strategy that maximises coverage and efficiency while minimising disruption to the premises.
Absolutely. Most of the Intruder alarm systems we install come with remote control functionality, enabling you to manage your security system directly from your mobile device. This includes capabilities such as arming and disarming the system, isolating specific detectors, reviewing event history, and receiving real-time notifications for alarm events. Furthermore, the associated app can be customised to accommodate multiple users on different devices, providing enhanced flexibility and convenience for managing your security needs.
