Services
CCTV
Our intelligent CCTV systems combine high-resolution cameras with video analytics to detect potential threats before incidents occur. The technology identifies people and vehicles while filtering out false alarms caused by wildlife. Remote monitoring from our BS5979-accredited control room ensures immediate response to verified threats, providing both preventative security and evidential-quality recordings for post-incident analysis.
Access Control
We implement advanced access control systems that restrict property entry to authorised personnel while maintaining detailed audit trails. Our solutions track entry/exit times, manage visitor access, and integrate with other security systems. Custom configurations support both simple keycard systems and complex biometric authentication methods, ensuring appropriate security levels for different property zones.
Intruder Alarms
Our intruder alarm systems feature perimeter protection and internal sensors linked to 24/7 monitoring. The technology includes PIR motion detectors, door/window contacts, and keypad interfaces. When triggered, alerts escalate to designated keyholders or emergency services through our accredited monitoring station, ensuring rapid response to security breaches.
Fire Detection
We provide comprehensive fire detection systems designed to protect lives and property through early warning capabilities. Our solutions combine advanced smoke detectors with heat sensors and manual call points. Systems integrate with suppression mechanisms and building management systems, featuring regular maintenance schedules to ensure optimal performance and compliance with safety regulations.
Flood Protection
Our flood protection systems automatically detect water leaks and shut off supplies to prevent property damage. Sensors monitor critical areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and pipe runs, integrating with security systems for comprehensive property protection. The technology includes both point sensors and cable-based leak detection systems suitable for commercial and residential environments.
