    Intruder Alarms — Grade 2 & 3 wired and wireless systems with smartphone control

    We install and maintain intruder alarm systems from Texecom, Pyronix, Orisec, and Hikvision across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, and London. Whether you need a wireless Pyronix Enforcer for a three-bed semi or a fully wired Texecom Premier Elite 168 for a commercial warehouse, we design, install, and monitor systems that actually work — and that your insurer will accept.

    Who is this for?

    For homeowners, landlords, letting agents, and business owners who want a properly installed, insurance-compliant alarm system — not a DIY kit from Amazon that falls off the wall after six months.

    • Residential homes, flats, and HMOs
    • Offices, business parks, and commercial premises
    • Warehouses, trade counters, and industrial units
    • Retail shops and high street premises
    • Schools, nurseries, and community buildings
    • Construction sites and temporary buildings
    • Landlord portfolios and rental properties

    Common alarm problems we see every week

    • No alarm at all — relying on door locks and hope, which insurers won't accept for high-value claims
    • A 15-year-old Scantronic or Texecom Veritas panel that's obsolete, with no spare parts and no app control
    • False alarms triggered by spiders on PIRs, loose door contacts, or low battery faults — annoying your neighbours and wasting police time
    • Your insurer is demanding a Grade 2 or Grade 3 monitored system and you don't know where to start
    • A wireless system installed by a handyman that drops signal, has dead zones, and was never properly commissioned
    • Multiple sites or properties with no centralised way to manage alarms remotely

    What's included in every intruder alarm installation

    Alarm Control Panel

    Texecom Premier Elite, Pyronix Enforcer, Orisec, or Hikvision AX Pro panel — selected based on your property size, risk level, and whether you need wired, wireless, or hybrid. Every panel supports smartphone app control.

    Motion Detectors (PIRs)

    Dual-technology and quad-element PIR sensors with pet-immune options up to 25kg. We position detectors to cover entry routes and high-value areas while avoiding false triggers from pets, radiators, and moving curtains.

    Door & Window Contacts

    Surface-mount or flush magnetic reed contacts on all ground-floor windows, entry doors, and any vulnerable openings identified during the survey. Hardwired where possible, wireless where needed.

    External Sounder/Bellbox

    High-decibel external sounder with LED strobe and anti-tamper protection. We fit a live bellbox, not a dummy — so it actually activates when triggered.

    Smartphone App Control

    Arm, disarm, and check status from your phone via the Texecom Connect, Pyronix HomeControl+, or Hikvision Hik-Connect app. Receive instant push notifications for alarms, tamper alerts, and system faults.

    Monitoring & Police Response

    Optional 24/7 monitoring through an NSI Gold or ARC-approved monitoring centre. We arrange your police URN (Unique Reference Number) so you get confirmed alarm response — not just a phone call.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the difference between Grade 2 and Grade 3 alarm systems?
    Grade 2 systems are suitable for most homes and standard commercial properties. They use a mix of wired and wireless devices and satisfy the majority of insurance requirements. Grade 3 is a higher security standard required for premises with elevated risk — jewellers, cash-handling businesses, pharmacies, and properties with high-value stock. Grade 3 systems must be fully wired with dual signalling paths and are always professionally monitored. We'll confirm which grade your insurer requires during the survey.
    Which alarm brands do you install?
    We primarily install Texecom Premier Elite (wired and hybrid), Pyronix Enforcer (wireless), Orisec (wired), and Hikvision AX Pro (wireless). The right choice depends on your property type, wiring feasibility, and budget. We don't push one brand over another — we recommend what's best for the job.
    Can I control my alarm from my phone?
    Yes. Every system we install includes smartphone app control as standard. Texecom uses the Texecom Connect app, Pyronix uses HomeControl+, and Hikvision uses Hik-Connect. You can arm, disarm, view system status, and receive push notifications for alarms and faults from anywhere with a mobile signal.
    How do I get a police response to my alarm?
    We register your system with the police via a URN (Unique Reference Number) application under PD 6662 guidelines. Your alarm must be professionally installed, maintained, and monitored by an approved ARC (Alarm Receiving Centre). We handle the entire URN application process for you.
    Will the alarm work during a power cut?
    Yes. Every system includes a rechargeable backup battery inside the control panel that maintains full protection for a minimum of 12 hours (Grade 2) or 24 hours (Grade 3). Wireless devices like the Pyronix Enforcer and Hikvision AX Pro sensors have their own lithium batteries lasting 3-5 years.
    Are wireless alarms as reliable as wired systems?
    Modern wireless systems like the Pyronix Enforcer and Hikvision AX Pro use encrypted radio signals with anti-jamming detection and are fully Grade 2 compliant. They're ideal for retrofit installations, rented properties, and listed buildings where running cables isn't practical. For Grade 3 or very large premises, we typically recommend wired Texecom Premier Elite or Orisec panels.
    How much does an intruder alarm cost?
    A wireless alarm for a standard three-bed house typically starts from around £595 fitted. Larger homes and commercial systems vary depending on the number of zones, grade required, and monitoring options. We provide a fixed written quote after the survey — no ballpark figures that creep up on installation day.
    How often should my alarm be serviced?
    We recommend annual servicing as a minimum, and it's a requirement to maintain your police URN and insurance compliance. During a service visit, we test every detector and zone, check backup batteries, inspect the bellbox, update firmware if available, and issue a service certificate for your records.
