risk assessment for security alarm systems

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 each comprising two stages:

  • Location survey.
    • A risk assessment of the building contents – the total value of target items (electrical goods, jewellery and so on) will generally indicate the level of security required.
    • A risk assessment of the building’s fabric and structure – how easy or difficult it might be to enter the building, the level of physical security, location, break-in history and so on.
  • Technical survey; addressing issues affecting the reliable operation of the system.
    • Consideration of factors, inside the supervised premises, that might compromise reliability, for example heating or air-conditioning systems, suspended signs, electro-magnetic interference and environmental conditions.
    • Consideration of factors external, but adjacent to, the supervised premises that might compromise reliability, for example road or rail networks, activities within adjacent premises.

The grade of intruder alarm system and the classification of equipment recommended by id-visual will depend upon the factors identified during these surveys.
