First Alert Security Systems

When selecting an intruder alarm system for a UK property there are several important choices or decisions to be made. Hard-wired burglar alarm systems, which were the only choice for many years, are now being challenged by the latest generation of wireless (wire free) burglar alarm systems. There are two more decisions to be made.

A burglar alarm system can be designed to protect the perimeter of premises using vibration or shock sensors or by a system of “space protection” using movement detectors such as PIR (passive infrared) or dual-technology (PIR plus microwave) detectors. These will be situated in key areas of the premises. It is of course possible to combine these two approaches for a “belt and braces” system where the very best intruder security protection is necessary. Our systems comply with current NSI regulations and can be bells only or monitored via your existing telephone line to either a monitoring station or a pre-determined set of telephone numbers such as your mobile phone or a key holder of your property.
