Alarm System FAQ
Here are a few frequently asked questions:
What types of alarms can you offer?
We offer a wide range of alarms such as wired house alarms, wireless burglar alarms, business alarms, Audible only alarms or monitored alarms, smoke alarms for domestic or commercial premises.
How does the monitored alarm work?
Monitored alarms connect to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) which is a remote central station manned 24 hours a day 365 days a year, via a telephone line, radio or IP network. The monitored alarm sends signals to the ARC when the alarm is set or unset, if it detects intrusion or burglary, smoke or fire, when a personal attack button is manually activated or there is a fault with the system such as electrical mains failure. The ARC verifies the alarm signals and takes the appropriate course of action such as alerting the owner, key-holders and or Police or fire authorities.
Can I have an alarm system that is not monitored?
YES. You have other options such as an Audible only alarm which makes a loud audible noise to deter intruders or alert the neighbours of a break in.
Would I be able to set my burglar alarm at night?
YES. Your alarm allows for full setting when you go away, part setting of a section of the premises or outdoor building, and night setting such as alarming the ground floor whilst keeping upstairs and the bedrooms unalarmed.
How long will it take to install my alarm?
It takes on average 6 hours to professionally install a standard hard wired alarm system into a Home, Office or Shop. Wireless alarm systems takes less time in comparison. However large intruder alarm systems can take few days to install.
Will the intruder alarm work with my pets?
Through careful system design and professional installation, intruder alarms have been installed in thousands of homes with Pets with notable positive results. While there is no such thing as “Pet Proof Sensors” todays technology can accomodate limited numbers and size of house pets, albeit with some caution.
How reliable is your wireless alarm?
Our range of wireless alarms incorporate quality wire free alarm components from reputable alarm manufacturers.These wireless alarms are reliable and are increasingly popular with some clients.
Can I add extra sensors to my alarm package?
YES. Extra sensors such as Passive Infrared Detectors, Vibration sensors, Smoke detectors and more can be added to your alarm package if required; at additional costs.
What guarantee do you give on your alarm systems?
We provide a Three year parts and one year labour warranty on our alarm installations commencing from the installation date. We also offer preventative annual alarm maintenance serviceing at competitive rates to commence from the anniversary of the alarm installation.
How soon can you install my burglar alarm?
