Designed for the risk
Detection is specified per zone — perimeter lines, plant rooms, stores and high-value asset areas — not a one-size template.
Commercial intruder alarm systems with monitored, verified response
Commercial-tested burglar alarms support our advanced control room’s continuous CCTV observation. Operators do not rely solely on an activation to look for visible threats; saved footage supports emergency and incident review.
CCTV-verified activations
Operators continuously observe live camera views during agreed coverage and assess activations in context. Suspicious activity can be identified without an alarm, with actions recorded under your escalation plan.
Maintained and compliant
Scheduled servicing, fault tracking and test records support ongoing system maintenance. Compliance requirements are considered during specification.

Assess entrances, perimeter routes, valuable assets and changing work areas. Check lighting and obstructed views, and revisit camera positions as your site changes.
Set a clear response plan
Agree monitoring hours, authorised activity, escalation contacts and actions for suspicious behaviour or equipment faults. Keep contact details and site instructions current.
Agree recording and review
Set appropriate footage retention and authorised access, and agree how relevant recordings are preserved after an incident. Use activity reports and equipment checks to guide follow-up.
Frequently asked questions
- What grade of intruder alarm do commercial sites need?
- The alarm specification depends on the risk assessment, relevant standards and your insurer requirements. Discuss these during your site survey.
- What is verified alarm response?
- Operators assess alarm activations against available live camera views and follow your escalation plan. Continuous observation also helps identify visible suspicious activity when no alarm triggers and reduces unnecessary escalation; it cannot eliminate every false alarm or missed threat.
- Can alarms be integrated with our existing CCTV?
- Yes. Alarm panels are connected to our monitoring platform alongside your cameras so both feed the same incident record.
- Is maintenance included?
- Service requirements and maintenance cover are agreed in your proposal. Maintenance jobs and engineer requests can be tracked in the portal.
