Here’s our guide to burglar alarms and what to consider

There are many advantages to installing an alarm, including:

• You will have peace of mind knowing that you are secure.
• Prevention – Having an alarm system is a powerful deterrent to potential thieves.
• When an alarm is activated, it immediately alerts authorities that a burglary is taking place.
• Rapid response – the alarm will immediately notify a monitoring center.
• An alarm combined with CCTV provides a strong security system.
• Remote access and monitoring for the home or business are available immediately.
• When an alarm system is installed, insurance premiums may be reduced or waived.

Get a site survey to assess the risk to your property

The first and most important step is to schedule a site survey with a security expert who will inspect your home or commercial property and assess the risk of burglary. Contact us today for a free site survey.

External entry points to your property, such as windows, doors, gates, and balconies will be checked during the inspection. Are locks used to secure these? Is there adequate outdoor lighting at potential access points? Is your outdoor lighting functioning properly?

Burglars are often opportunistic, looking for easily accessible building access points with lax or weak security, such as insecure doors or easily breakable windows. Business owners who have lower-value stock are more vulnerable to break-ins because they do not secure their property, making them much easier targets for thieves.

Rapidtech Digital Solutions provides a free site survey and consultation. We come to your home or business to conduct a thorough inspection and recommend a custom security solution and security upgrades.

Who do I choose to supply and install my alarm?

Always select a reputable supplier with alarm installation experience. We strongly advise you to work with a certified supplier and installer to ensure the highest quality installation. Anyone can start a business installing alarms and CCTV, but companies like Rapidtech Digital Solutions is fully accredited. We use high-quality alarm products and install them to the highest standards that are certified and annually checked.

Choose a supplier who offers a warranty on their alarms and installation so that if anything goes wrong, you can rest assured that the problem will be resolved as soon as possible. Our products and installations come with a one-year warranty.

Choose Certified Installers

Knowing you’re working with an accredited company will give you peace of mind that you’re getting high-quality alarm products, installation, and service. Insurers prefer certified security systems because they ensure that high-quality alarms are installed by reputable companies.

Our accreditation includes an annual inspection, our staff is vetted, the security of our customer information is ensured, and we are rigorously inspected for the quality of site surveys and installations for both home and business alarms and CCTV installations.

Check company reviews from past clients

Check out an alarm company’s reviews from previous work done so you can get a feel for the quality of their products and services.

Does the supplier have physical registered premises or a shop?

Choose an alarm specialist with a physical address and shop where you can discuss your requirements and examine products in detail. If an alarm installer does not have a permanent, registered base, there is a risk that they will be unreliable and impossible to contact if something goes wrong after installation, or worse, that they will be a rogue trader or go out of business. Inquire about any warranties or guarantees that are provided.

Which alarm should I opt for?

Choose an alarm with cutting-edge technology and remote and control access. Alarm systems can be wired (with cables) or wireless (without cables). Rapidtech Digital Solutions offers both wired and wireless alarm systems, and all of our alarm systems can be remotely monitored. If an alarm is triggered, the system will automatically call a pre-programmed phone number to notify the property owner. The home or business owner can then log in to check and respond to the alarm, as well as view the premises and review video footage if a CCTV system is used.

When an alarm is activated, the alarm signal is automatically sent to a 24-hour monitoring center, which will analyze and confirm the incident. They will contact the keyholder and the police immediately.

Should I install CCTV with an alarm system?

We recommend that you have a CCTV system and CCTV cameras installed in conjunction with your alarm system, and we can install both at the same time or upgrade your existing CCTV or alarm system with the most up-to-date products and technology.

With this powerful security combination, you can monitor your premises from any location using a PC, tablet, or mobile phone, and record video footage of any incidents that can be used as evidence. Thieves and burglars are deterred by CCTV, alarm systems, or both.

Do I need to maintain an alarm system?

If your alarm system has a problem or a flaw, it may affect your insurance payout in the event of a burglary. We recommend that you maintain your alarm system on a regular basis, i.e. once a year, in order to keep your alarm system in good working order. We offer support and maintenance plans to ensure that you receive the best possible care for your alarm investment. Maintenance is essential with monitored alarms to avoid false alarms and call-outs.

How much does a security alarm cost?

Alarm installation costs vary depending on the number and type of security risks on your premises and, as a result, the alarm installation required to keep your property secure, as well as the size of your premises, the type of alarm installed, and the cables installed. A cheap alarm is not the best option because you get what you pay for with alarms. A good alarm system will be an investment in terms of the level of protection provided and how long the alarm will last over time. When you choose a certified alarm system, you will get the best quality and performance in alarm installations.

If you are considering purchasing and installing a CCTV system, installing both an intruder alarm and a CCTV system at the same time will save you money.
