Intruder Alarms

An intruder alarm has one job: to tell the right people, quickly, that something is wrong. Most of the ones we are asked to look at fail that job in one of two ways. Either they go off so often that everyone ignores them, or they were fitted to a floor plan rather than to the way the building is used.

We survey first. That means walking the premises with you, understanding where the risk is (the cash office, the stock room, the loading door that gets left ajar), who sets and unsets the system, and what your insurer expects. The design comes from that. Detectors go where they will catch an intruder and not the cleaner; zones are set up so the shop floor can be armed while the office is still in use; and the control panel is explained to the people who will actually lock up at night.

We fit wired systems where the cable can go in cleanly and wireless where it cannot, and we are honest about which suits your building. Alerts go to your phones as standard. Where a site needs more than that, ask about monitored options at the survey.

Like everything we fit, the alarm goes into your customer portal with the plan, the zone list and the job photos, so the next person to look after the building knows what is there.
