Commercial Intruder Alarms Benefits
-
-
- It is widely known that intruders will select a commercial property with no security system or an old or outdated system rather than run the risk of breaking into a property with a recently integrated and up-to-date alarm system
- If your business holds stock, specialist equipment, staff member belongings as well as private and sensitive information then an intruder alarm system will decrease the likelihood of your property being broken into and is highly recommended
- An alarm system gives you peace of mind 24 hours a day, 365 days a year as you know if there is no one at your business or property then your alarm will sound if any individual gains access who is unauthorised

- A professionally fitted alarm can reduce your insurance coverage premiums whether it is a business, commercial property or home. In some cases, the amount of money spent on a monitored alarm system can be offset by a decrease in your insurance premium and it is absolutely worth contacting your insurance company to check or talking to other insurance companies when your renewal is due
- A property with a fully integrated alarm system is more likely to sell compared to a commercial property without one
- Professional alarm systems may be automated and show you which access point has been broken into
- Professional alarm systems can be linked to the emergency services therefore if the alarm is triggered the police will be called to the property quickly
- An alarm system will signal neighbours as well as passers-by if there has been a break in and the police are more likely to be called quickly rather than you finding out when the next person enters your property
- Not all companies have somebody there every day or even weekly, some properties are used in order to store products or stock that are vital to your business. In these scenarios, a commercial intruder alarm offers you peace of mind that your property is protected when nobody is there

Types of Commercial Intruder Alarms
Depending upon your requirements, there are several types of alarms available and the one you decide on will depend on the nature of your business and property, and the belongings you store there. Elite Fire & Security will advise you of the best solution for you and your business and can integrate various security systems to ensure maximum security.
Remote Monitoring and Domestic Intruder Alarms – These types of alarm systems can be designed so that a call centre monitors your premises 24 hours a day. A signalling system will systematically contact your call centre in the case that the alarm system is triggered. The call centre will then contact the key holders and the police if you have a Police Response system. This can work in 3 different ways;
- Keyholder – when the alarm is set off, the alarm receiving centre will contact your chosen keyholders
- Text Alert – when the alarm is triggered, a text message is sent to inform your chosen contacts of a breach
- Police Monitoring – the authorities will be advised through the alarm receiving centre if your alarm is set off
Wireless Intruder Alarm Systems – Wireless systems allow you to install sensors, cameras, beams and movement detectors all over your commercial property that alert you the moment something or somebody is detected. Alarm systems such as these are really beneficial if you have several entry points due to the fact that the system will alert you regarding which sensors, cameras, beams and motions have been triggered.
An Audible Intruder Alarm – A loud alarm and flashing strobe lights to draw attention. Intruders will be alerted to such systems, however, they are typically unmonitored key holders and the police will not be informed unless a member of the public calls to report a disturbance. For that reason, they are not always the best solution for commercial properties as they rely on neighbours or passers-by noticing and reporting the disturbance as well as seasoned thieves being undaunted by the alarm and flashing lights.

Access Control Security Systems Burnham on Sea – Installation, Maintenance & Repair
Access control systems provide enhanced security to businesses, homes or premises by offering manageable management of who is permitted access. They are one of the most used security systems for businesses now and there is a wide range of different types of systems available to match your requirements.
Access control can be employed on entrance doors, gateways, lifts, barriers or any entrance or exit points to control who enters and leaves a property or site. They are a solution to give protection to people inside a residential or commercial property, a specific room or area in a property, belongings and systems in addition to the property itself. They make it possible for you to monitor and control who is entering and leaving at any time.
An access control system not only provides security of who is entering a property or site but also permits fast entry with a pin code or swipe access card without the need for anyone monitoring an entrance within your operating hours.
Types Of Access Control Door Systems
There are different types of Access Control Door Systems and each one works slightly differently. Elite Fire & Security Systems Burnham on Sea are specialists in the types available and will be able to recommend the best system for your property, business, needs and budget.
- Keypad Entry Access Control Systems
- Key Fob Entry Access Control Systems
- Card Entry Access Control Systems
- Fingerprint Entry Access Control Systems
- Retina Entry Access Control Systems
- RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Entry Access Control Systems
Keypad Entry Access – This type of access control system makes use of a keypad with a numeric keypad for entering and exiting. Businesses and homeowners can change the numeric code at any time if necessary.
Key Fob Entry Access – This is when somebody who has been given permission to access a property or an area uses a wireless remote control key fob to open the entry point, similar to a car key fob. The fob is battery-operated.
Card Entry Access – Access to an access point or door is controlled by a keycard that contains a security token. An installed keycard reader opens and closes the door when the card is touched against the reader or swiped through a swipe reader.
Fingerprint Entry Access – Biometric (fingerprint and retina) entry access control systems are growing in popularity because they are considered more secure because the entry code, fob or card cannot be passed on to anyone who isn’t authorised. A fingerprint entry access control system allows authorised individuals to gain access quickly whilst helping prevent unauthorised individuals from doing so.
Retina Entry Access – Biometric (retina and fingerprint) entry access control systems are increasing in popularity with lots of companies using them because they are seen as extremely secure access control systems. The entry code, fob or card can not be passed on to anyone who isn’t authorised and only allows access to authorised people.
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Entry Access – Access control systems that use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) allow entry to authorised individuals. Radio waves are transmitted by the RFID control reader, and radio waves are sent out by the RFID tags (cards/fobs). When the card is within range, the antenna within it captures the waves and broadcasts a message that contains a unique number from the chip, which allows access.
Access control door systems have the same purpose of permitting or rejecting entry or exit but they do so in different ways. You can have an access control door system in a business property, home or if you have land that is secured by fencing and gates which enables you to control who enters. The systems can be designed and fitted to doors, gates, barriers, turnstiles and more.
Access Control System Benefits
-
-
- They allow fast and easy access or entry to anyone authorised
- They limit entry to those who are not authorised
- You can see who has entered and when using an electronic entry log
- They can restrict areas within a building or residential or commercial property quickly and remotely
- They are very difficult to break into and gain entry without the authorisation
- They protect people inside a building
- They protect valuables and belongings in a building
- They protect businesses, sites and residential or commercial properties
- They allow quick and easy access to anyone authorised without the need to pay anyone to monitor them
-
The system you decide on will depend on your property and security requirements. Elite Fire & Security Systems Burnham on Sea will conduct a complete security appraisal of your site and become familiar with your requirements before recommending the best security option for you and your budget.
As opposed to an access control door system, an intruder alarm will not protect against someone from entering a building or area, it will alert you or others that the area has been accessed without your consent.

Residential Property Fire Alarm Systems
If your home or apartment is on the ground floor or single storey then generally one smoke and carbon monoxide detector suffices to give you with an early alert of smoke or fire. You should always have the ability to hear their alarms in any location of your home and if you cannot at that point you should install additional ones. If you have a two plus storey home then you need to have the alarms fitted on every floor and again check that anyone can hear them wherever they are in your residential property when they are set off. You should perform a monthly check in order to make certain the alarms sound and change or replace any batteries frequently. A number of alarms are connected to your mains electricity but some are battery operated so testing frequently will tell you if there are any problems.
It is advised that home fire and carbon monoxide alarms should be positioned outside of every independent sleeping area and in the immediate area of any bedrooms. They need to be installed on the wall or ceiling depending on the detector’s instructions.
If you believe that you really need more than a smoke and carbon dioxide detector in your home then contact Elite Fire & Security as soon as possible and we will help.
