Installation of Intruder Alarm & Police Response Alarm Systems in Edinburgh
A professionally installed wireless intruder alarm system provides essential protection against break-ins and unauthorised access.
As professional installers of burglar alarms in Edinburgh, we can offer a number of alarm systems for homes and businesses alike, from bell-only alarms that emit a siren that neighbours can hear on the street, to police-response, monitored alarm solutions.
Popular with both homeowners and commercial premises, our police response alarm systems are connected to a 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) where trained operators monitor your alarm system at all times. When the alarm is triggered, the monitoring centre receives the signal immediately and verifies the activation before taking action, which may include contacting keyholders or requesting police attendance.
These police monitored alarm systems provide enhanced protection compared to a standard burglar alarm that simply sounds locally.
Our monitored alarm systems include:
- Wireless intruder alarm systems
- Motion sensors and door contacts
- Smartphone alerts and remote system control
- 24/7 professional alarm monitoring
- Police response burglar alarm systems
- ARC monitored alarm systems
- URN registered alarm systems for police response
Installing a monitored burglar alarm system with police response provides a much higher level of security for homes, offices and commercial premises.
