Wired Alarm Systems
Wired intruder alarm systems are a strong choice for many commercial and domestic properties, especially where cabling is already in place or where a long-term, low-maintenance solution is preferred.
They can support a wide range of detectors, keypads, sounders and communication options, making them suitable for both simple home alarm installations and more detailed commercial alarm designs.
For many existing properties, a wired alarm upgrade or panel replacement can be a practical way to improve reliability while reusing suitable existing cabling.


Wireless Alarm Systems
Wireless intruder alarm systems are ideal where running new cables would be difficult, disruptive or unnecessary. They are well suited to finished homes, smaller businesses, outbuildings and properties where a cleaner installation is preferred.
Wireless systems can offer app control, flexible device placement and a wide range of detector options. Regular maintenance and device battery checks help keep wireless alarm systems reliable.
Sanders Secure can advise whether a wired, wireless or hybrid alarm system is the best option for your home or business.

Alarm System Monitoring
Many intruder alarm systems can be set up with app control, keyholder notifications or professional monitoring through an Alarm Receiving Centre where suitable.
- iOS and Android app control for convenient user access
- Push notifications and event alerts where supported
- Alarm Receiving Centre monitoring options for suitable systems
- Broadband, cellular or dual-path signalling depending on the system design
Monitoring options depend on the property, alarm equipment, signalling method and the level of response required. We can explain the options during your alarm installation quote.



Alarm System Servicing and Maintenance

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.
