CCTV Installation
We design and install CCTV systems ranging from basic domestic setups to complex commercial networks. Our high-specification cameras include infrared night vision, covert monitoring, and digital recording equipment with 12-month guarantees. Systems integrate with fire alarms and access controls for comprehensive security solutions.
Intruder Alarms
Custom intruder alarm systems protect homes and businesses with wireless or cabled installations. Compliant with NSI standards, our systems connect to monitoring centres and offer remote reset capabilities. We specialise in upgrading existing systems and providing police-response compatible solutions.
Access Controls
Our access control solutions manage property security through key fobs, proximity cards, and biometric systems. Designed for commercial premises, these systems integrate with fire alarms and provide audit logs for employee movements, with remote operation options for gates and barriers.
Fire Alarms
We install and maintain fire alarm systems compliant with current safety regulations. Offering wireless options and integration with access controls, our systems ensure rapid evacuation and minimal damage, with annual servicing available for emergency lights and extinguishers.
Security Maintenance
Our NSI-standard maintenance contracts cover CCTV, alarms, and access controls. Services include bi-annual audits, system upgrades, and emergency repairs with 24/7 response availability. We also takeover existing service agreements where technically feasible.
