Getting the Most From Your Alarm System

Most support questions start with something simple: an alarm will not set, a keypad is showing a fault, CCTV is not showing on a phone, footage is missing, or a customer needs the correct user guide for their system.

This page is designed to give Sanders Secure customers a quick place to find common help topics, user guides and video guides.

If the guide does not solve the issue, we can arrange servicing, fault finding, repairs, maintenance or a takeover assessment where appropriate.
