Choose the Right Type of Alarm

We recommend a system after surveying your premises. Here is how the main options compare.

OptionBest forHow it works
WiredLarger commercial buildings, new builds and refurbishmentsCabled detectors with no reliance on batteries or radio signal for long-term reliability.
WirelessOccupied offices, shops and homesQuick to fit with minimal disruption. Signal strength is mapped at survey.
HybridSites with mixed needsCombines wired and wireless detection where each works best.
Bells-onlyRegularly occupied premisesSounds an external siren and strobe on activation. A visible deterrent with no monitoring attached.
Keyholder monitoredPremises empty out of hoursSends an alert when triggered so a nominated keyholder can be contacted.

Protection When Nobody Is There

Most break-ins happen when a site is empty. With keyholder monitoring, a triggered alarm sends an alert so someone can respond, rather than the siren sounding unheard. For businesses with shift patterns, deliveries or contractors, zones and individual user codes control who can access which areas and when.

If you prefer to stay hands-on, smartphone app control lets you check the system, arm or disarm it and receive push notifications wherever you are, where the system supports it.

Watford Intruder Alarm FAQs

Do you install alarms for offices and warehouses in Watford?

Yes. Most of our work is commercial. We design zoned Grade 2 systems for offices, warehouses, distribution units, shops and restaurants, using wired, wireless or hybrid equipment to suit the building.

What does a keyholder monitored alarm do?

When the alarm is triggered it sends an alert so a nominated keyholder can be contacted, even if nobody is on site. It suits premises that are empty overnight and at weekends.

What is the difference between a bells-only and a keyholder monitored alarm?

A bells-only alarm sounds an external siren and strobe with no monitoring attached. A keyholder monitored alarm also sends an alert to your nominated keyholder.

How soon can you survey my premises and give me a price?

Contact us with your name and postcode and we will book in a survey. Every property is different, so your client-specific quotation is sent the same day.

Can you add detectors to my current alarm or take it over?

Often, yes. We check what is already fitted, then service, extend, reprogram or upgrade the system instead of replacing it where we can.

Can I control my alarm from my phone?

Where the system supports it, you can arm and disarm remotely, check zone status and receive push alerts on your smartphone.

What happens if my alarm fails out of hours?

Call 01582 292349. We provide 24/7 telephone support and fast same-day callout response.
