Intruder Alarm Systems

Over 80% of dsc security customers only take the decision to purchase an Intruder Alarm AFTER a break in.

This may be an astonishingly high proportion but unfortunately true.

With dsc security you get a company that is NACOSS Gold approved to ISO 9001:2000, this means that every part of the system we install has been checked to meet NSI stringent requirements. The system will have been designed to enable ease of use and security.

When you buy a dsc security Intruder Alarm system you buy PEACE OF MIND that your property and equipment are being protected when you are not there.

Intruder Alarms - The First Step

The next step is to contact us by e-mail or phone to arrange a FREE and CONFIDENTIAL visit from one of our surveyors to find out what level of security you require. If you aren't sure what you want, we will go through all the available advice and options with you so you can choose a system to suit your needs. This will all be put into a written specification, which you should receive within 3 working days from our survey.

Once you've decided that you would like dsc security to install your alarm, all you need to do is contact us to arrange a mutually convenient date to carry out the installation. This will generally be possible within 7-10 days time, and depending on our workload in many instances we can give you an earlier date if necessary.

We require your signature on a copy of the specification so that we know what you are expecting from us, and a deposit to secure the installation date. You can then sit back, allow us to install your Alarm which will take 1-2 days for the average sized office, the engineers will go through the basics of how to use the alarm with you, collect the balance payment and leave you to enjoy the protection of a dsc security Alarm..... nothing more to pay for the first 12 months and NO multi-year contracts you can't get out of without paying huge amounts!

Intruder Alarms - Designing Your System

The Control Equipment will consist of a Main Control Panel, which is normally placed in a suitable location (out of the way) is connected to mains power, a Keypad that will need to be fitted somewhere suitable in the Entrance Lobby, and an external Siren to give the audible confirmation of an activation.

There are a variety of detection devices to suit different situations in you offices, the most common design favoured by most of dsc security customers is to have a Magnetic Door Contact on your entrance door (to start the entry time when you come in) and Passive Infra-Red (PIR) detectors, which are normally fitted discreetly in the corner of each of the Ground Floor rooms/areas with others fitted discreetly in easily accessible offices/areas on upper floors.

Some of our customers also like to have a Personal Attack button to activate the Alarm siren if necessary whether the alarm is set or not.

 

Other common detection devices include:-

  • Dual Technology detectors
fitted in rooms with high value equipment in order to offer a confirmed signal through to the Police by complementing the use of PIR detectors, or used in areas prone to changes in temperature like warehouses.
  • Heavy Duty Door Contacts
specifically for Roller Shutter doors.
  • Vibration detectors
fitted on window or door frames to detect vibrations caused by an attack on the protected surface. These can also be used on walls to prevent an attack of this type.
  • Break-glass detectors
fitted facing glazed areas and activated by the sound of breaking glass.
