FAQs

Costs can vary from basic DIY alarms to fully integrated systems with professional monitoring and direct links to police or private security. We specialise in monitored alarms because they form the backbone of an effective home security setup, ensuring that any alarm activation is never ignored.

Our burglar alarm systems are energy-efficient, with most components being wireless and battery-powered. The main control panel requires access to a standard plug socket.

Intruders aim for a quick, unnoticed break-in. The presence of a professional Keyways® system and visible bell box signals that your property is monitored, significantly deterring potential burglars and ensuring a prompt response.

We believe monitoring is essential to a reliable home security system. That’s why we exclusively offer monitored alarms—providing you with peace of mind that every alert receives immediate attention.

Our sleek, modern alarm panel requires minimal cabling, with just one wire connecting to a power socket. You can choose to mount it on a wall or place it on a table or sideboard. The panel should be conveniently located near your front door, and additional remotes can be paired to control the system from other areas of your home.

While external sirens are intended to alert nearby people, they’re often ignored. With our monitored alarm system, the monitoring centre is instantly notified of any activation, ensuring a rapid response. 

Commercial alarm systems consist of various components designed to detect intrusions and alert you. Magnetic sensors on doors and windows trigger the alarm when separated, indicating unauthorised access.

Glass break alarms use microphones to detect the specific sound of shattering glass, while motion detectors rely on vibrations, microwave pulses, infrared, or ultrasonic waves to sense movement.

These sensors communicate with a central control panel, which processes alerts and initiates the appropriate response.

To enhance your building's security, consider installing quality CCTV cameras, motion sensors, alarms, physical barriers, and an access control system. Review your key control policies, building layout, perimeter, and landscaping for potential vulnerabilities. Proper staff training is also essential for improving overall security.

Building layout and perimeter: Assess entry points and how they’re monitored, ensuring no unsecured access to rooftops or hidden spots around the property.

Landscaping: Keep vegetation trimmed to reduce hiding places. Overgrown or poorly maintained areas can signal neglect and poor security.

Access control: Implement an access control system to regulate who enters the building, how often, and where they can go.

CCTV: Use CCTV cameras with recorders to monitor the premises without needing physical guards.

Motion detectors: Motion-activated lights can deter intruders by startling them with sudden illumination.

Alarms: Ensure your alarms are set to notify emergency services or your security team in case of a breach.

Physical barriers: Install automatic gates or secure fencing to prevent unauthorised access.

Key control: Establish strict procedures for key management, assigning responsible individuals to handle locking and unlocking.
