WHAT IS AN INTRUDER ALARM?

There are many systems to choose from that fit your needs, with two main types of intruder alarms that operate differently from each other; a wired or wireless system.

A wired intruder alarm is the most commonly used system. Wired systems comprise of a main control panel, motion sensors, sirens and emergency buttons.

These require wires running to each of the sensors on the system, which are then hidden away out of site.

A wireless system works in the same as a wired system, however detection is relayed to the control panel via radio frequencies.

Wireless intruder alarms are best suited to the following locations:

Properties of heritage and historical significance
Buildings that cannot afford the time and disruption that wiring installation can cause
Temporary installations
Buildings where an intruder alarm is required promptly

CHOOSING AN INTRUDER ALARM

When you require an intruder alarm, we will help you to choose which entry points and locations you wish to have covered. This will identify where alarm detectors should be placed in order to give the optimum security coverage.

An Intruder Alarm Systems expert from LA Alarms can survey your site to consider your requirements. This is provided for you Free of Charge. They will then produce a specification for you of precisely how your detectors and intruder alarm should be installed on your premises. They will also look at the likelihood of theft, the ease of disposal and the value of goods on site.

We will help you consider precisely how what you would like the intruder alarm system to achieve and take advice on how to meet your requirements.

INTRUDER ALARM SERVICING

Ongoing maintenance and alarm servicing of the system by a competent approved security systems company should be carried out.

Your intruder alarm maintenance will include a 24/7 call out facility with a minimum response time, as per the agreement. This will ensure any emergencies are attended to promptly.

All intruder alarm systems should have a preventative maintenance visit where tests are carried out to ensure the system operates at an optimum level and any failing parts are replaced before they cause a major malfunction. These tests should be carried out at least once a year.

INTRUDER ALARM SIGNALLING AND MONITORING

An ‘Audible/Bells Only’ system is the most basic option of intruder alarm signalling. As the system is triggered, a loud siren sounds to signify that an intruder has entered, or is attempting to enter the premises. The bell sounding can be suited to the specific location in high density areas (such as a housing estate) where the alarm can be responded to by people in the area, the police force or neighbours.

For maximum peace of mind, we would recommend our most secure option of a ‘Monitored’ alarm system. Should the intruder alarm be triggered, the siren will activate plus our Alarm Receiving Centre will alert your nominated keyholders and, if required, telephone local police and request that they attend.
