How Long Does It Take To Install My Intruder Alarm?

In most circumstances, we can complete an install in less than a day. This depends on the unique dimensions of your premises, how many sensors or detection units are needed, and the complexity of the installation itself.

Who Will Set My Alarm Each Evening?

This can either be you or one of your staff members, or you can combine our intruder alarm installation services with our affordable lock and unlock solutions to ensure that you’ve always got a trained professional on hand to ensure your site is secured. We recommend opting for this second option if you’re concerned about the safety of your area or have had previous issues with criminal activity.

What Happens If There’s A False Alarm?

We will still attend, even if your alarm activates without an intruder triggering it. This will always be communicated to you, and you’ll receive a full report on any alarms that our officers attend. This response service has also proven to be an effective way to ensure that the Police aren’t called out unnecessarily.

What Intruder Detection Can You Offer For Sites With No Power?

We’re able to offer our cutting-edge VPOD system, a visually-verified intruder alarm that operates entirely on solar power with a backup battery for emergencies. This is usually reserved for premises with limited infrastructure, like construction sites, vacant properties or demolition projects.

Frequently Asked Questions On Intruder Alarms

In this section, you can find some of our most frequently asked questions and answers about our intruder alarm services:

Still got a Question?

Yes. All of our intruder alarms are installed by trained and certified professionals, ensuring regulatory compliance with the latest guidelines set out by BS EN 50131. Our status as an NSI Gold installer means that insurers know we are a trusted provider and can install a robust monitored alarm system.

When an alarm activates at your property (whether from an intruder or a false activation), the alarm signals our National Operations Centre, which is manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by trained, SIA-licensed professionals. They can then deploy an officer, who will attend your site within the hour.

This can be done by you or one of your staff members, or you can combine our intruder alarm installation services with our affordable lock and unlock solutions to ensure there is always a trained professional on hand to secure your site. We recommend opting for nominated keyholders if you’re concerned about the safety of your area or have had previous issues with criminal activity.

We will still attend to provide immediate assistance, even if your alarm activates without an intruder triggering it. This will always be communicated to you, and we will provide a full report on any alarm activations that our officers attend. This immediate response service has also proven to be effective in ensuring that the police or emergency services aren’t called out unnecessarily.

We’re able to offer our cutting-edge VPOD system, a visually-verified intruder alarm that operates entirely on solar power with a backup battery for continuous protection in the event of a power cut. This is usually reserved for premises with limited infrastructure, like construction sites, vacant properties, or demolition projects.

Commercial intruder alarms in the UK are split into four grades based on the level of risk to a property, and UK insurers typically require an alarm to be graded accordingly. Grade 2 alarms are suitable for most small commercial premises, while Grade 3 alarms are recommended for higher-risk business premises that need more advanced security features. Grade 4 is the highest tier, reserved for high-security sites with the most stringent requirements, and is comparatively rare. As NSI Gold–certified installers, we’ll assess your site and specify the grade that matches both your risk profile and your insurer’s requirements for peace of mind.

For a professional alarm system to qualify for a police response, it must meet the requirements set by the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC). Newly installed systems must conform to PD 6662:2017 and BS 8243, and must be professionally installed and routinely maintained. All of our intruder alarms are fully compliant with BS EN 50131 standards and installed by NSI Gold–standard engineers, ensuring your system meets the criteria for a highly reliable professional response.

Intruder alarms can be classified by how they detect unauthorised entry and how they raise the alert. Common notification types include bells-only systems with audible alarms, which alert anyone in earshot during a breach with a loud siren, and monitored alarms, which connect to a professional security service and are essential for modern businesses with high-value assets.

Detection is handled by a range of sensors managed by a central control panel, the core of any system: Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors detect the heat of a moving body, door and window contacts use magnetic sensors to detect openings, glass-break detectors register the sound of breaking glass, and shock or vibration sensors flag forced entry before access is gained. As security experts with NSI Gold certification, we build each industry-standard security system bespoke, combining the right access control and detection methods for your premises.
