Hold-up and Panic Alarms

Whilst these are usually fitted in commercial and public buildings for staff safety, they can also be placed in a domestic setting, usually near a front door or in a bedroom. Panic alarms can be used when a resident or staff member needs emergency assistance, whether that be for a personal emergency or if they are in danger.


Smartphone App

Take your alarm monitoring into your own hands! Our intruder alarms have an optional smartphone app. This allows remote arming and disarming of your alarm system, it also means that you can receive notifications if an alarm has activated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Happens in a Power Cut?

All of our alarm systems have a battery backup designed to outlast most power cuts - it also ensures that the system continues to operate if a criminal tampers with the mains supply.

How long does the alarm go off for?

UK Environmental Health Regulations mean that the outside siren can only sound for a maximum of 20 minutes. Most modern systems comply with this regulation as standard, however some older systems may exceed this time.

What’s the difference between an Intruder Alarm and a Burglar Alarm?

We always refer to this type of alarm, which is intended to trigger upon illegal entry as an “Intruder Alarm” as a ‘Burglar Alarm’ would imply that the person entering intends to steal, however this may not always be the case, and such the word “Intruder” is used as it covered all intents.


Alarm Maintenance

We often get asked if alarm maintenance is important or necessary. If the system is monitored or wireless, then maintenance is almost essential. However, some systems are neglected, and the user may think the alarm is working, but in reality, the system could be compromised.

  1. Battery Check Arguably the most important check on most systems. We check the batteries in the control equipment to ensure they are within our specifications. Flat batteries can cause issues, including overheating. They are also the reason you can hear alarms going off in the event of a power cut.
  2. Alarm & Signalling Test We ensure that the audible warning devices are working correctly. The external bells also contain their own battery to prevent the bell power from being cut. For signalled systems we also check to ensure all of the signals are sent and received by the monitoring station.
  3. Walk Test A walk test is carried out during a maintenance visit to ensure the detection devices are operating as intended. This also includes door contacts and other devices. Older detection devices can deteriorate and may no longer work correctly, and therefore compromise the system.
