Monitored intruder alarms
Monitored intruder alarms for business
Alarms that go somewhere. Designed, installed and maintained by an established specialist, with signalling that keeps working when a line goes down.
The problem
Modern criminals are organised and quick. An unmonitored bell-only alarm relies on a passer-by caring enough to act - and if you think a monitored system is expensive, compare it with the cost and disruption of a break-in.
How it works
It starts with a survey by one of our alarm surveyors, who works with you on the grades, zones and detection you actually need. One of our own engineers installs the system, and our specialists maintain it so it keeps performing. Systems range from straightforward protection to highly sophisticated dual-path monitored solutions - and you can arm, disarm and check status from an app.
What you get
Specified for the site, not the catalogue.
Single path monitoring
Signals out over the GSM mobile network, GPRS data or a fixed line, reporting the type of breach and the zone triggered.
Dual path monitoring
Everything single path does, plus an automatic back-up channel if the primary path fails.
Security fogging
Within seconds of a break-in the protected area fills with impenetrable fog, forcing intruders out before stock is lost.
App control
Arm, disarm and check the state of the system from your phone or tablet.
Graded design
Systems specified to the insurance grade your business and insurers require.
Planned maintenance
Scheduled servicing by our own engineers, with 24-hour reactive support.

Questions
Straight answers.
- What happens when the alarm activates?
- The signal goes to an Alarm Receiving Centre, which follows an agreed escalation: key holders, and where the system qualifies, police response.
- Will our insurer accept the system?
- We specify to the grade your insurer requires and provide the certification to evidence it.
- How disruptive is the installation?
- We plan around your operating hours. Most commercial installations are staged so the site keeps trading.
In their words
What clients say once we've left site.
I would like to express my gratitude for the prompt and effective resolution of the recent software issues. The speed with which the matter was addressed, and the professionalism shown throughout, kept disruption to a minimum. My thanks also to Maciek, whose expertise and knowledge were invaluable.
Barry McPhee, Team Leader · IOMART I have been quite particular in some of the location criteria and the team have worked to provide the best solution that works for us but also makes sure the system works to its best ability. They have been professional, polite & hard working, communicated really well and are a credit to the company.
Paul Morris, Director · Utility Retail I've got nothing but praise for the guys doing the install. They were very thorough, helpful and very understanding of what was happening around them, particularly in the Manchester store where there were customers constantly coming in and out of the store.
