Protecting commercial premises from break-ins requires more than locks and lighting. A professionally designed and installed intruder alarm system provides the detection, deterrence, and response capability that Bristol businesses need to safeguard their assets, stock, and staff.
Types of Intruder Alarm Systems
- Bells-only systems — Activate an external sounder to deter intruders and alert nearby people
- Speech dialler systems — Automatically call designated contacts when the alarm activates
- Monitored systems — Connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) that can dispatch a response
- Smart systems — App-enabled systems allowing remote arming, disarming, and notifications
Detection Technologies
Modern intruder alarms use a range of detection methods tailored to the premises:
- Passive infrared (PIR) detectors for internal movement detection
- Dual-technology detectors combining PIR and microwave for reduced false alarms
- Door and window contacts for perimeter protection
- Vibration detectors for safes, strongrooms, and high-security areas
- External beam detectors for perimeter and boundary protection
Compliance and Insurance
Many insurers require intruder alarm systems to meet specific standards — typically PD 6662 and BS EN 50131. An British Standards-compliant installation ensures your system meets these requirements and is accepted by your insurer.
