Intruder alarms…

Security Services

People (and the police) used to say, “don’t fit an alarm – it shows the burglars that you have something of value, worth stealing”!

They said “what’s the point – no one takes any notice when they go off”

We fit AJAX systems. 100% wireless peripherals, one of the best reputations on the market, fully trusted by us. You can control the system with a key fob, or through your smart phone anywhere in the world. Forgot to set it? Want to see if it’s set, Want to check your child set it or unset it. Check in on an elderly infirm relative. You can even add a panic button and all authorised on the system can be alerted someone needs attention.

We monitor the system for you in the background for faults, potential issues, battery levels etc. We have your back.

Techno phobic? – Don’t be! Anyone can operate an intruder alarm now.

You can set your alarm with the press of a button on a key ring! It’s as easy as locking your car doors or setting your car alarm! Did you know that your outside security lights, if you have them, can be linked to your intruder alarm system so that they activate with your alarm sirens? Most electricians wouldn’t be able to do this as they shy away from complications, but we can. Most alarm companies are the same! If you’re considering a re-wire we can also link up some or all of your house lights too, or perhaps an escape route could be illuminated, should you have your smoke alarm incorporated into the security system? This can be done on any existing property! When smoke alarms are linked to your intruder alarm system, the siren will sound intermittently so you can easily distinguish between an intruder or smoke alarm alert. This, coupled with some 120dB internal sirens, will send any intruder running! It has been said that this kind of crime is becoming less common, as the electrical goods, often targeted, like televisions, videos and DVD players are “ten a penny” nowadays, but you cannot beat the assurance you get from setting your alarm at night when your family are tucked up in bed and when the house is unoccupied, and don’t forget the discount on your house insurance too! A security alarm could soon pay for itself. Your laptops. iPads. Mobile Phones etc are all vulnerable and life changing if they get stolen. Don’t forget there are CCTV systems available for the domestic and commercial market, and alert systems that signal when somebody is somewhere where they shouldn’t be.

Battery operated Smoke alarms

Battery powered smoke alarms have a use if you have nothing else, and no doubt save lives – however, many people get sick and tired of them going off every time they “slightly” overdo some toast, or cook some bacon etc. People foolishly take the batteries out when they think they may go off, and don’t always put them back straight away!

Mains powered Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarms

These devices are more sophisticated than the battery versions, as they have access to the mains power, they can have better circuitry in them and can discriminate better. If they ran on batteries, the battery would not have an acceptable life span. Another advantage is that they will be interlinked with one another, so for example a detector operating downstairs would trigger the detector upstairs and two or more sounding an alarm is always better than one on its own! There are different types of detection technology available too to distinguish between different likely fires. Ionisation and Optical are examples of smoke detection. These Aico units all have a non-replaceable lithium battery back up in the event of a mains failure, fit and forget. No batteries to worry about, so it’s well worth investing in them. They can also be linked to your intruder alarm system, which will sound an intermittent pulsed siren instead of a continuous one so you can instantly distinguish between a fire and an intruder! Don’t forget your intruder alarm can be linked to your security lights and even building lights, to make things safer should you ever be unfortunate enough to need them.

Security lighting

PIR movement detectors are old technology these days as is the incredibly bright and inefficient (and ugly) Halogen lamps. These switch on and off so many times during the night due to anything moving near them, that the bulbs burn out frequently and they give off 95% heat rather than light. Very efficient heaters, not so good at giving light. The modern way is Dusk till Dawn lighting with LED flood lights. They cost very little to run during the dark hours due to the high efficiency of LED technology, and let’s face it, if the rear of your property is in darkness and your neighbours is already lit, they will come visit you, so let us take you out of the loop Contact Us Today!
