Intruder Alarms
We design and install custom intruder alarm systems compliant with BS4737 and EN 50131 standards. Our solutions cater to homes and businesses of all sizes, featuring advanced detection technology and integration with 24/7 monitoring. Systems include audible deterrents, remote alerts, and insurance-approved components for comprehensive property protection.
CCTV Installation
Our tailored CCTV solutions combine high-resolution cameras and digital monitoring for residential and commercial properties. Systems deter crime, provide evidential quality footage, and integrate with access control. We offer both wired and wireless options with remote viewing capabilities and maintenance contracts to ensure ongoing functionality.
Fire Detection
We implement fire protection systems meeting current industry regulations, including online systems that alert emergency services automatically. Our installations feature interconnected smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide detectors with regular servicing to maintain compliance and ensure rapid response during emergencies.
Access Control
Our access control solutions manage entry to restricted areas using keypads, card readers, or biometric systems. Ideal for securing offices, stock rooms, and sensitive facilities, these systems track access attempts and integrate with existing security infrastructure for enhanced safety and accountability.
24 Hour Key Holding
This service provides immediate response to alarm activations outside business hours. Our team attends premises to verify incidents, reset systems, and coordinate with emergency services if required. Eliminates the need for clients to respond personally while ensuring continuous property protection.
