In preparation for the new year we thought we'd have a bit of a tidy up of the website and make it a little more friendly. People almost always ask us to install systems for them so we're going to move away from the retail side of the alarms and CCTV and concentrate on the installation side. By concentrating on just offering great deals on the alarm and CCTV packages we think we can offer better value and less confusion to the customer. A five minute conversation is all we need to work...

Anyone who has a Yale SR Series alarm might have noticed the icon has changed in the last few days. It's all down to a recent update as of 5th October 2018 which brings some great new features to the app:- Anybody with Philips Hue smart lighting can now link their alarm to their lights. When your alarm is armed the lights fade from green to red, from red to green on a disarm and if triggered your lights will pulse red. Lets just say a burglar would know they'd triggered your alarm!

We recently help a local charity to keep staff a little safer and feel a little more secure by installing a CCTV system for them. The staff were so thankful at the time and we were very accommodating. But today we were thanked again by one of the regional managers, which we were not expecting. These people really are quite amazing - for what seemed like a small contribution - they have been so grateful.

Whether you believe that statistics or not, we all know car crime has gone up... With cars taken in broad daylight and the factory security being so easy to defeat people are looking to protect what they can. One of the most effective deterrants is the old trusty steering wheel lock like this one from Amazon. Easy to fit and remove, but a pain in the ass for thieves. Second best is to have good CCTV and floodlights. Nobody wants to be found out - at best its a night in the cells and at worse a...

Recently I read an article on the causes of false alarms and at first dismissed it as somewhat bizarre. Then I looked again as it was commissioned by Which Magazine. While they don't fit alarms on a daily basis, I assumed they were not daft and as they carry out studies on a daily basis, must have some valid and credible statistics I could gleen. According to their report a whopping 30% of alarm activations are caused by insects. Next on the list is 22% by occupants and only 7% by animals. Now,...
