Burglar Alarms for Homes
For homeowners, a burglar alarm can provide reassurance, deterrence and clear warning if someone attempts to enter the property. We install practical home alarm systems across Plymouth, South Devon and Cornwall.
Depending on the property, your alarm system can include door contacts, hallway detectors, landing detectors, garage protection, external sounders, keypads, fobs and app control.
We will explain how the system works, demonstrate the keypad or app and make sure you are comfortable using it before we leave.
Burglar Alarms for Businesses
For shops, offices, small commercial units and business premises, an alarm system can help protect staff, stock, equipment and the building itself.
Commercial burglar alarm systems can include area setting, staff codes, fobs, external sounders, app access, event history and monitoring options depending on the system design.
We can also discuss wider security measures such as commercial CCTV, access control and fire alarm systems where a joined-up security approach is required.
Wired, Wireless and Hybrid Alarm Systems
There is no single alarm system that suits every property. Some buildings are best suited to a wired alarm, some are better suited to a wireless system, and others benefit from a hybrid approach.
Wired Burglar Alarms
Wired alarm systems are a strong choice where cabling is already in place or where a long-term, low-maintenance solution is preferred. They are often suitable for existing alarm upgrades, panel replacements and commercial premises.
Wireless Burglar Alarms
Wireless alarm systems are ideal where running new cables would be difficult, disruptive or unnecessary. They are popular for finished homes, smaller businesses, outbuildings and properties where a cleaner installation is preferred.
Hybrid Alarm Systems
Hybrid alarm systems can combine wired and wireless devices. This can be useful when upgrading an older alarm system while adding new wireless detection, app control or additional protection in areas that were not previously covered.
Smart Alarm App Control
Many modern burglar alarms can be controlled from a smartphone app, allowing authorised users to set and unset the system, receive alerts, view event history and manage users where supported.
App control is especially useful for busy homes, business owners, landlords, keyholders and anyone who wants better visibility of their alarm system while away from the property.
- iOS and Android app control where supported
- Push notifications and event alerts
- Remote user management on suitable systems
- Broadband, cellular or dual-path signalling options depending on the system

Intruder alarm systems typically consist of sensors (such as door/window contacts, motion detectors, and glass break detectors) connected to a control panel. When a sensor detects unauthorised entry or movement, it triggers the alarm, which can emit a loud sound, send alerts to a monitoring centre, or both.

It’s essential to consider factors such as reliability, features, and budget when choosing the right system for your property.
Home alarm systems are generally considered worth the investment as they provide peace of mind and enhance the security of your property. They can deter burglars, alert authorities in case of an intrusion, and sometimes even lower insurance premiums.
