Intruder Alarms

We specialize in the installation of networked Intruder Alarm Systems capable of multiple partitions and hundreds of zones, hard wired or wire free. Complete protection from a bells only to a 24 hour monitored system with BT Red Care Secure with police response. Our residential systems are partitioned to allow you to arm the downstairs of your home whilst allowing you to freely move around the first floor elevation.  Our commercial systems can be multi-partitioned to allow various areas to be armed within the same premises, and allow communal areas to remain unarmed until ready.

Platinum Security Ltd offers 3 levels of Intruder Alarm System

• A Bells Only System that triggers an external SAB Bell to alert neighbors of an intruder
• A Bells Only System that triggers an external SAB Bell to alert neighbors of an intruder and dial up to 4 telephone numbers to inform friends/family of an intruder
• A 24 hour Central Station Monitored System, Digi-Com or BT Red Care, with or without police response.

 

Platinum Security Ltd offers various forms of Intruder Alarm Monitoring including the following:

 

 

 

EN50131 European Standards for Intruder Alarm Systems
The current British Standards 4373, 7402 and 6799 Wireless Systems where replaced on the 1st of October 2005 the EN50131. European Standards are not retrospective, therefore Systems which are currently installed to previous British Standards will continue to be maintained and upgraded to the EN50131 standards.

Risk Assessments
One of the most significant issues within the new EN standards will be evaluating the risk associated with the premises and determining the Grade of System. This is because once the Grade of a System is determined it will define the extent of the System, its signaling and Tamper security requirements.

Platinum Security will attend your premises and survey for Grading FREE of charge with no obligation to commit. It is very important that the property is Graded to the correct specification.

Security System Grades
Grade 1 is for an installation with a low risk of theft. The property is not likely to attract intruders. It is assumed that a thief is likely to be opportunistic rather than bothering to plan things in advance. In the application guide (DD CLC/TS 50131-7) it assumes that an intruder is simply going to break open a door.
Grade 2 is for a slightly higher risk of theft. The property is likely to have something of interest to an experienced thief. In this case the intruder is expected to have some knowledge of how alarm systems work and possibly carry some tools to allow him to overcome a simple alarm system. The thief is likely to check the building for ease of access through doors, windows and other openings.
Grade 3 is for a reasonably substantial risk property. There is good reason to assume it may be broken into and might well contain objects of high value. An intruder is likely to gain access by penetrating doors, windows or other openings. The thief could be very experienced with intruder alarm systems and possess a number of tools and equipment to overcome the system
Grade 4 is for very high-risk properties. Intruders could be expected to plan a burglary in advance and have the knowledge and equipment to alter parts of the intruder alarm system to prevent detection. It is assumed that the intruder could gain access by penetration of floors, walls and ceilings. The intruder is unlikely to be working alone.

Digital CCTV Monitoring

Digital IP (Internet Protocol) network camera technology has opened up a new world of remote surveillance and security solutions to protect people and property, reduce crime and improve crime detection.

The versatility of IP technology means that in its simplest form it can be used to provide a small alarm, CCTV and access control system, the means to protect your premises. Platinum Security's IP network CCTV systems can integrate with a wide variety of other IP based security systems using other technologies such as satellite and wireless technology.

This means that IP is also the ideal technology for enterprise wide surveillance and security systems for larger companies and organisations.

We believe that by combining the Intruder Alarm System and IP Networked CCTV System with our Central Station Monitoring Service, enables us to offer a significantly enhanced service to our customers.

Why do you need Remote CCTV Monitoring?

• Businesses are at risk from vandalism and theft every day.
• Crime rates and insurance premiums are escalating.
• No matter how sophisticated a CCTV system is, without Remote Monitoring, it can only record the crime as it happens.
• Changes to the ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) Policy means the 'Police Response' to your site can no longer be guaranteed without Sequential Alarm Confirmation.
Remotely managing security removes concerns over staff safety.
• Recent minimum wage legislation has increased the cost of traditional security measures such as manned guarding.

The benefits of Remote Video Response

• Visually verified incidents ensure that the required response is immediate when an event is taking place.
• Helps to maintain 'Police Response' and can greatly reduce insurance premiums.
• Digitally recorded images of evidential quality help identify the accused.
• Controls out of hours access to your site at a fraction of the cost of employing a security officer.
• Provides reliable 24 hour, 7 days a week, 365 days a year independent remote site protection.

Remote monitoring has far reaching capabilities from simple camera systems to communications solutions through Internet Protocol (IP) technology.

How does Remote CCTV Monitoring work?

The concept of remote monitoring is simple. Initially, a system of cameras and alarms is installed on any site to British Standards. This system is linked to a transmission system and connects to a CCTV Monitoring Station via a telephone line (either PSTN/ISDN/GSM connection) or via the Internet through an IP Broadband connection (or other secure connection from the company's network). A static IP address is required for IP remote connection.

When the sensors or cameras are activated an alarm signal is sent directly to our Central Station, and a picture image is transmitted to a workstation. Workstations are manned by highly trained operators who assess the situation and provide the appropriate response immediately.

Depending upon the client's exact requirements, the operator will use the built in audio transmission capability of the CCTV System and remotely talk back to site. Additional security protection such as lighting and alarms can also be remotely triggered if required. As the situation escalates the operator will contact our guarding company or the emergency services as appropriate.

MANNED GUARDING

The Police find it difficult to respond to and investigate most crimes and provide effective Crime Prevention. It is therefore essential to ensure as far as possible that your premises and business is protected, a responsibility that falls on you and your security management team.

"Security" is a specialised area and most employees are not trained or want to be responsible for the protection of your business. Platinum Security work in partnership with a reputable Guarding company, which will deliver a professional service that could save many thousands of £s, and provide a safe and secure environment for your staff and your Business. Please ask for further details.
