intruder alarms for your home from id-visual

Alarm systems are a worthwhile investment in the protection of your home and family. Studies reveal that it is far less likely that you will become the victim of a burglary at home if you have a correctly fitted insurance approved and well-maintained burglar alarm.
If you are thinking about the installation of an alarm system in your home it is worth considering that the police response to alarm activations varies according to the type of alarm installed. In recent years the percentage of false alarm calls caused by equipment, communication or user error was in excess of 92%.

SSAIB Certified CompanyThe ACPO Unified Intruder Alarm Policy has been adopted by the police to combat time wasted with false alarms; now two types of alarm are defined by the Policy, together with the relevant police response; id-visual can offer you comprehensive advice on this policy as we install to SSAIB approved standards that meet the criteria of the ACPO police policy.

In summary approved security companies that install systems to a quality standard are recognised by the insurance companies and local police authorities and should be your first choice when selecting to install an intruder alarm in your property.

risk assessment for your home security alarm system

Risk assessment is a critical process when designing an intruder alarm system. id-visual will carry this process out for you; this involves gathering information necessary to the design a suitable intruder alarm system to ensure all possible means of entry are covered by the design of the intruder alarm system.

A risk assessment comprises two surveys:

  • Location survey.
    A risk assessment of your home contents as well as the home’s fabric and structure. The total value of target items (electrical goods, jewellery and so on) together with how easy, or difficult, it might be to enter your home, the level of physical security, location, break-in history and so on will generally indicate the level of security required.
  • Technical survey.
    This looks at factors that might influence the choice and design of your alarm system. It will look at all aspects that might impact on the performance of your alarm system such as electrical interference in the area.

The grade of home intruder alarm system equipment recommended by id-visual will depend upon the required performance determined by these surveys. Call on 0845 3700 543, email or complete the enquiry form.
