WIRED OR WIRELESS ALARM SYSTEMS
Over the past decade industrial grade security features have been built into wireless sensors enable them to communicate with each other without the need for unsightly cabling. The improvement in these technologies has meant that wireless alarms are if fitted correctly graded under British Standard BS EN 50131 and therefore meet all the requirements of insurers.
​
Although wireless components are more expensive, the overall cost is cheaper as installation time is considerably reduced and there is no need for costly redecoration. The only caveat is that the sensors’ batteries need to be changed every couple of years. On average a cost of around £45 every few years.

A guide to alarm systems:
TYPES OF ALARM SYSTEM SENSORS
Alarm systems are not only capable of alerting you when there is an intrusion, they can also detect fire, floods and other emergencies. Depending on the environment Secure Home Electrics will determine what type of device is appropriate.
DOOR & BREAK BEAM DETECTORS
These sensors detect when doors are opened, and beams are broken and are often used in situations when final exit or initial entry modes are utilised in an alarm system. Secure Home Electrics install such devices using EOL and DEOL technology which prevent the tampering of these devices.
ALARM RESPONSE
When your alarm is activated it is programmed to activate sirens and other devices and to communicate the activation. The category of response is as follows:
AUDIBLE ONLY
A ringer alarm activates when a break-in is detected. Regulations stipulate that such alarms can only continue sound for a maximum of 20 minutes. However, the internal sounder and outside strobe light will continue to flash until the system is turned off. These unmonitored alarms are suitable for use at lower-risk homes where there are not a significant number of valuables and you have neighbours who can respond. The police will generally not attend unless there is evidence of an offence in progress.
MONITORED
All our alarm systems are capable of being connected to an alarm receiving centre which monitors your alarm 24/7. This upgrade only costs from £8 a month. A small amount to pay for peace of mind, especially for those living alone or with medical conditions as medical alert devices can be added. Staff at our 24/7 monitoring station will ordinarily call your home for a password upon activation to check everything is OK. If the correct password is not provided or if there is a problem, the police and/or the key-holders are notified. Providing a high-quality response, alarm monitoring centres can also tap into industrial standard CCTV solutions to direct and assist the emergency services.
SELF MONITORED
Utilising either internet or mobile technology our systems allow householders and business managers to connect to their systems which not just notifies them when the alarm is activated but allows them to set unset in monitor the condition of their systems remotely. Traditionally alarm systems utilised phone diallers and PTSN devices to notify alarms however since PTSN devices are being phased out between now and 2025 Secure Home Electrics no longer support these devices. However GSM or mobile phone devices which either sends a text or pre-recorded message are however are still an option.
APP CONTROLLED ALARM SYSTEMS
The vast majority of self-monitored systems utilise apps on the ubiquitous smart phone which not only notify the owner/keyholder when the alarm has been activated but also allows the owner to control the alarm system remotely.
In addition, internet connected cameras linked to the alarm system allow the householder to check the premises through CCTV prior to calling the police, thus allowing them to filter out any nuisance activations. Whilst the video monitoring supplied through such systems is suitable for checking under these circumstances there is no substitute for professionally.
