Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about intruder alarm systems and installations

What is the difference between Grade 2 and Grade 3 intruder alarms?
Grade 2 systems are suitable for low to medium risk properties including most residential and small commercial premises. Grade 3 systems offer higher security for high-risk commercial properties with valuable assets. Grade 3 systems have more sophisticated detection, tamper protection and signalling requirements. Your insurance company will specify which grade is required.
Can I get police response to my intruder alarm?
Yes, but your system must meet specific police requirements including Grade 2 or 3 certification, professional monitoring by an NSI/SSAIB approved alarm receiving centre, annual maintenance contract, and confirmed alarm protocols (dual detection). We handle the entire URN application process and ensure your system meets all police policy requirements.
How do pet-immune detectors work?
Pet-immune PIR detectors use advanced signal processing to distinguish between human intruders and small animals. They typically ignore movement from pets up to 25kg when properly installed at the correct height and angle. This allows you to set your alarm while pets move freely around your property without triggering false alarms.
What happens if my alarm is triggered?
When your alarm activates, the control panel sends an immediate signal to the alarm receiving centre (if monitored). The ARC will attempt verification and then contact police, keyholders or security response as per your instructions. Audible sounders activate to deter intruders. You also receive instant notifications via smartphone app if configured.
How often does an intruder alarm need servicing?
Annual servicing is mandatory for insurance compliance and police response eligibility. During the service, we test all detection devices, check battery backup, verify signalling paths, inspect panel programming and provide a maintenance certificate. More frequent inspections may be required for high-risk premises or as specified by your insurer.
Can I control my alarm system remotely?
Yes, modern alarm systems offer smartphone app control allowing you to arm/disarm remotely, receive instant notifications, view system status and event logs from anywhere in the world. Remote access is particularly useful for holiday homes, rental properties and multi-site businesses. We can retrofit remote control to many existing systems.
