Design
Risk Assessment and Site Survey
Conducting a thorough assessment of the property our team of experts will identify points of vulnerability and tailor the system to address specific security needs. Consider the layout, size, and nature of the property (residential, commercial, industrial).
Ease of Use
The system should be user-friendly for authorised users, with clear instructions for arming/disarming and handling false alarms. Keypads, remote controls, and mobile apps should be intuitive and accessible.
Scalability and Flexibility
Design the system to accommodate future expansions or modifications, such as adding new sensors or integrating with other security systems (e.g. smart home devices).
Redundancy and Reliability
Ensure the system has redundancies in place, such as dual communication paths (e.g. landline and cellular) to maintain connectivity if one path fails. Use high-quality, reliable components to minimize false alarms whilst ensuring consistent performance.
Compliance with Standards
Adhere to relevant security and safety standards to ensure the system meets industry guidelines. Ensure compliance with local and national regulations and building codes.
Integration with Other Systems
Integrate the intruder alarm with other security systems, such as access control and fire alarms, for comprehensive protection. Consider smart home or building management integrations for enhanced functionality and control.
