A bell-only alarm has not been good enough since 2010
Old "bell-only" alarms (a siren screams when triggered, that's it) used to be standard. The problem is obvious: most thieves know nobody calls the police on hearing a siren these days. A modern alarm sends an instant alert to your phone via the app, can be set to alert a monitoring centre that responds and can integrate with the smart home (lights flash on, doors lock, smart cameras start recording). The alarm doesn't just make noise, it actively responds to the intrusion.
We install Grade 2 insurance compliant systems with proper PIR motion sensors (pet-immune options for cats up to 25kg), magnetic door contacts on all entry doors, glass break detectors where wanted, internal sounders, external sounder/strobe and smart app control. Pyronix Enforcer is our most popular wireless system. HKC SecureWave is the most popular hardwired system. Both have monitoring add-on options where wanted.
- Grade 2 insurance compliant on every standard package
- Smart app control included on every system at no extra cost
- Pet-immune PIR sensors for households with cats and small dogs
- Wireless or hardwired (we recommend wireless for retrofits)
- Monitoring add-on (police-response or keyholder) where wanted
The numbers behind
a proper alarm install
A few specs decide whether your alarm system meets insurance requirements and actually responds when needed.
Insurance Standard
Grade 2 EN 50131-1 systems are accepted by most household insurers. Grade 3 required for higher-value or specifier insurance policies.
External Sounder
External sounder with strobe at 90 dB minimum. Loud enough to be heard 50m away. Self-actuating bell with backup battery if mains power fails.
Pet-Immune PIR Limit
Pet-immune PIR sensors ignore movement from pets up to 25kg (most cats and small to medium dogs) to avoid false alarms while still detecting humans.
Wireless Battery Life
Modern wireless sensors run 2 to 3 years on standard lithium batteries. Battery low alerts via the app give 4-week warning before failure.
