Cost-Effective Alarm Response For Student Security
With education budgets tight, finding an affordable solution for security in your student properties is essential. Our SIA-licensed alarm response and key holding services offer a rapid response (just 30 minutes on average) to all incidents, providing a fast resolution and expert service at a budget-friendly price point.
Trusted By Big Names Like Vita Student
We deliver a comprehensive range of solutions for 8 of Vita Student’s major accommodation blocks in university cities nationwide, including Cardiff, Manchester and Sheffield. That package includes full, 24/7/365 alarm response, secure key holding, and a round-the-clock connection to our National Operations Centre that’s manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
CCTV Designed For Busy Student Halls
Our cutting-edge packages for CCTV installation and monitoring in student properties are one of our most popular options. We deliver a fully tailored installation, AI-enhanced surveillance, and a strong deterrent that’s designed to stop crimes before they can happen. Plus, with 24/7 monitoring as standard, you’ll have watchful eyes on your property, and students can have peace of mind that a trained professional is always on standby.
Protection For Student Events & Open Days
Special occasions are a regular feature in any student accommodation’s calendar. ProFM are on hand to support whenever and wherever you need us, delivering fully SIA-licensed event security officers alongside barriers, fencing, lighting and other physical measures to manage crowds and keep both existing residents and new prospects safe, secure and satisfied.
Ad-Hoc Static Security Guarding For Student Properties
Rising protest action and civil unrest across the UK can present an issue for student accommodation, especially those in major cities. With our on-call security personnel, we’re able to adapt and deliver a security guard who can manage crowds and protesters, deter criminals or vandalism, and escalate to the Police whenever necessary.

Control Access To Your Student Accommodation
Monitoring who comes and goes from your student properties is a major consideration, especially in on-campus halls of residence or blocks. Our suite of options for access controls alleviates those concerns, delivering ID badges, fobs and biometric access to ensure full oversight of visitors, residents, and deliveries whenever they happen.
