Swift Security Solutions designs, installs and maintains Grade 2 intruder alarm systems for businesses and homes across Hemel Hempstead. Wired or wireless, bells-only or keyholder monitored, with same-day quotes and fast same-day callouts.
A burglary means more than stolen stock or equipment. It means downtime, insurance headaches and a site you have to secure again before you can reopen. A properly designed intruder alarm is the first line of defence for offices, warehouses, retail units and workshops, and it gives homeowners the same peace of mind.
We are a local intruder alarm company. Every system starts with a survey of your premises, so the detectors, keypads and sounders are planned around how your building is actually used, not fitted from a standard package. We install new systems, upgrade older ones and take over existing alarms, then keep them working with servicing and 24/7 telephone support.
Multi-zone alarm systems for warehouses, offices, retail units and industrial premises, including sites around Maylands and Hemel's other business parks. Zones are set up so staff can work late or access part of a site while the rest stays protected.
Where the system supports it, arm and disarm remotely, check the status of each zone and receive push notifications to your phone. Useful for business owners, managers and landlords who are not on site.
Inherited an alarm from a previous occupier, or been left without support by a previous installer? We can assess the existing panel and detectors, then service, reprogram or upgrade them rather than replacing everything.
There is no single right answer for every building. We recommend the type of system after a survey, based on the construction of the property, the level of risk and how you want to be alerted.
A hard-wired system is a dependable choice for new builds, refurbishments and larger commercial premises where cabling can be installed neatly. Wired detectors do not rely on batteries or radio signal, so they suit sites that need long-term reliability.
Wireless detectors are quick to install with minimal disruption, which makes them ideal for occupied homes, shops, offices and listed or older buildings where running cables is difficult. Signal strength is mapped during the survey so coverage is reliable.
A bells-only system sounds an external siren and strobe when it is triggered. It is a straightforward, visible deterrent with no monitoring service attached, suitable for premises that are regularly occupied or where neighbours and passers-by will notice an alarm.
A keyholder monitored system sends an alert when the alarm activates so a nominated keyholder can be contacted. This is a good fit for businesses that are unoccupied overnight or at weekends, or for owners who want an alert even if they are away.
Our systems are installed to Grade 2 standards, which suits the majority of commercial and residential properties.
We fit systems from Pyronix, Texecom and Orisec, both wired and wireless, and combine them with the right detection for each opening and room.
Passive infrared detectors pick up movement inside a room or corridor. Pet-tolerant and dual-technology options are available to reduce false alarms in homes with animals or in busy commercial spaces.
Magnetic contacts monitor doors, windows and roller shutters, triggering the alarm as soon as an entry point is opened. Heavy-duty versions are available for shutters and industrial doors.
Shock contacts detect vibration on windows and doors, so an attempt to force an entry point can set off the alarm before it is opened. A useful extra layer for ground-floor and vulnerable openings.
Each system also includes a control panel, keypads for setting and unsetting, and an external sounder to act as a visible deterrent.
Commercial properties carry stock, tools, vehicles, IT equipment and cash, and they are often empty for long periods. We install alarm systems for:
For homeowners and landlords we install tidy, reliable alarms that are simple to use day to day. Detection is planned around entry points and the main routes through the house, with app control available where the system supports it.
Contact us with your name, postcode and what you need protecting, and we will book a survey of your premises.
After the survey we recommend a suitable system and send your quotation the same day.
Our engineers fit and programme the system, then test every detector, keypad and sounder.
We show you how to use the alarm, and we are on hand afterwards with servicing and 24/7 telephone support.
These examples show how we usually approach different types of property. Every system is designed to suit the individual site.
The need: protect stock and equipment, including roller shutters and rear doors, in a unit that is empty overnight and at weekends.
Typical solution: a wired or hybrid Grade 2 system with shutter contacts, door contacts and PIR detectors covering the main routes, plus shock sensors on vulnerable openings. Zones allow office areas and warehouse floor to be set separately, with keyholder monitoring so someone is alerted out of hours.
The need: a system that is quick for staff to set and unset, works with existing fit-out and causes minimal disruption to install.
Typical solution: a wireless system with detectors on the entrance, stockroom and rear access, keypads positioned by the main doors, an external sounder, and app control so the owner can check the status remotely.
The need: a business moves into premises with an alarm already fitted, but no codes, no service history and a system that is faulty or out of date.
Typical solution: we inspect the panel and detectors, reprogram or replace what is needed, and set up new user codes and a maintenance arrangement.
The need: reliable protection that does not spoil the look of the house or trigger false alarms with pets.
Typical solution: a wireless alarm with pet-tolerant PIRs on the ground floor, door contacts on the main entrances, a discreet keypad and a visible external sounder, controlled from a smartphone app.

A bells-only alarm sounds the siren and strobe on site but does not send an alert elsewhere. A keyholder monitored alarm also signals when it is triggered so a nominated keyholder can be contacted, which is helpful when the premises are empty or you are away.
Wired systems are a dependable option for new builds, refurbishments and larger commercial sites. Wireless systems are quicker to fit and suit occupied properties and buildings where cabling is difficult. We will recommend the best fit during the survey.
We install Pyronix, Texecom and Orisec systems, in wired and wireless versions, with PIR movement detectors, door magnetic contacts and shock sensors.
