Intruder Alarms

A large portion of our work involves installing and maintaining intruder alarms. There are a wide variety of alarm systems available that we could install at your home or place of business dependent upon need.

The keypad can be placed near your entry/exit door and the control panel can be put out of the way in a cupboard or somewhere similar.

The alarm also needs detectors and switches placed at strategic places around your premises to provide maximum security.The detectors used are PIRs (Passive Infra-Red Detectors).

There are a selection of Personal Attack options that can be added to your Intruder Alarm System. These devices will sound the alarm at the push of a button. If you have your alarm linked to the Central Monitoring Station, the police will also be immediately dispatched to your address.

This is an example of the type of bell housing you can expect to be mounted on your premises. These are highly visible to alert people that your house or place of business is alarmed.

There will normally be two bell housings on your property, one on the front and one on the back.

Evidence that having an alarm system in your house will reduce the chances of you being a victim of burglary can be found in the article below from the Weston and Worle News.

"Burglars are having a tougher time breaking into homes following advice to householders from police working under Operation Bumblebee, the force's anti-burglary initiative.

In a forcewide survey for 1998/99, seven out of 10 burglary victims said they had improved the security of their homes, including fitting extra locks to doors and windows, external lighting and burglar alarms.

PC Jerry Woods of Operation Bumblebee said:
"We stress in the burglary information pack that burglary victims could be targeted again if they do not raise the level of security in their homes. We are pleased that so many are taking our advice as this is undoubtedly making life more difficult for the thieves. We would urge all householders to take the initiative on protecting their property as most break-ins are opportunist attacks and therefore can be prevented."

Last year the biggest reduction in crime across Avon and Somerset Constabulary was in domestic burglaries, which fell by 1,180 - an 11% drop.

In the same year police launched Safe As Houses, a joint scheme involving security firms and estate agents in a bid to increase the number of owner-occupied homes with built in burglar alarms."

All of our alarm systems can be tailored to your specifications and fitted by our engineers with the minimum of fuss and disruption.

System installation will be carried out in accordance with BSI DD243: 2004 and PD6662: 2004 which is the UK implementation of EN50131.
