Alarm Systems Designed Around the Property
A good intruder alarm should be simple to use, reliable when needed and suitable for the way the property is occupied. That means the right mix of detection, keypads, sounders, app control, signalling and maintenance support.
Sanders Secure installs alarm systems for houses, flats, shops, offices, workshops, warehouses, hospitality venues, landlords, community buildings and managed premises across Plymouth and nearby areas.
We can help with new alarm installations, upgrades from older panels, app-controlled alarm systems, monitored alarm options, alarm takeovers and ongoing maintenance.

Wired Alarm Systems
Wired intruder alarm systems are a strong choice for many homes and businesses, especially where suitable cabling is already in place or where a long-term, low-maintenance solution is preferred.
Wired systems can support a wide range of detectors, keypads, sounders and communication options. They are suitable for simple domestic alarm installations as well as more detailed commercial alarm designs.
For many existing properties, a wired alarm upgrade or panel replacement can 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 suit 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 servicing 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.
For more information about one of the wireless platforms we work with, visit our Ajax wireless alarm systems page.
Hybrid Alarm Systems
Hybrid intruder alarm systems can combine wired and wireless devices on the same system. This is often useful where a property already has suitable cabling in place, but extra wireless devices are needed for new rooms, extensions, outbuildings or areas where new cabling would be disruptive.
A hybrid approach can be a practical upgrade route for older alarm systems, allowing suitable existing wiring to be reused while adding modern features such as app control, newer keypads, updated sounders and improved signalling options.
During an alarm installation or upgrade quote, Sanders Secure can explain whether a wired, wireless or hybrid alarm system is the most sensible option.
Alarm App Control and Monitoring
Many modern 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
- Keyholder alerts for suitable systems
- Alarm Receiving Centre monitoring options
- 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.

Commercial Intruder Alarm Systems
Sanders Secure installs and supports commercial intruder alarm systems for suitable shops, offices, workshops, warehouses, hospitality venues, community buildings, landlords and managed premises across Plymouth and nearby areas.
Commercial systems may include staff user codes, proximity fobs, app control, keyholder alerts, external sounders, panic buttons, different setting areas and monitoring options where suitable.
For businesses that need more than an alarm system, we can also help with wider commercial security systems in Plymouth, including CCTV, fire alarms, access control, emergency lighting and maintenance contracts where suitable.
Alarm System Upgrades, Servicing and Takeovers
Not every property needs a completely new alarm system. In many cases, an older system can be improved with a replacement control panel, new keypad, updated communications, app control, new sounders or replacement detectors where suitable.
Regular servicing helps keep your burglar alarm or intruder alarm working correctly and helps identify faults before they become a bigger issue.
During a service visit, Sanders Secure can check the panel, backup battery, detectors, sounders, signalling options, event history and general system operation.

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.
