Intruder Alarms FAQs

Common questions

What type of intruder alarm do I need?

It depends on your premises and risk. A small shop or home may need a simple bells-only system, while higher-risk sites benefit from monitored alarms with keyholder or police response. We assess your needs and recommend the right option.

What is a monitored alarm?

A monitored intruder alarm signals an alarm receiving centre when triggered, which can then alert nominated keyholders or, where appropriate, request a police response. It offers a higher level of protection than a bells-only system.

Can you install wireless intruder alarms?

Yes. We install both wired and wireless intruder alarm systems. Wireless is ideal where cabling would be difficult or disruptive, such as occupied or listed buildings.

Do you service alarms you did not install?

Yes. We can take over, service and maintain an existing intruder alarm system after an initial inspection, whoever originally fitted it.

Can the alarm work with my CCTV?

Yes. We can integrate your intruder alarm with CCTV so that activations are captured on camera, giving you clearer evidence and a more complete security picture.
