Protecting your premises from intruders is essential, but as each business is different, no standard intruder alarm system is suitable for everyone. So, how do you choose?
We recommend the first step in choosing an alarm system is to do a security review. This process will identify the risks and inform what type of alarm system will work best for your business.
Consider the following questions:
Other factors to consider include:
Once you understand the risks and your desired level of security, you can choose an appropriate alarm for your premises. There are different systems to consider ranging from basic DIY alarms to full monitoring and auto-response systems.
DIY intruder alarm systems can be effective and may work out cheaper to install. However, you will need to have at least a basic understanding of the system and how to install it correctly. You will also need to be able to maintain and monitor your alarm.
A safer approach, especially if you have a large and complex site, is to select a professional security company to install your alarm. A professional installer will design a system that is appropriate for your business and install it correctly. They’ll also be available to maintain and upgrade the system to prevent it from failing.
You should check that your supplier is approved by an industry-standard body, such as National Security Inspectorate (NSI) or Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board (SSAIB), as accredited installers have to demonstrate their quality of workmanship and alarm equipment.
