Intruder Alarm Systems

Fullstop are NSI NACOSS GOLD approved specialists in the installation and maintenance of intruder alarm systems. All installations, from small domestic systems to large commercial and institutional properties are fitted in accordance with European Standards BS EN50131-7, NSI Codes of Practice and where applicable, with the Unified Police Policy including clause DD243: 2004.

When carrying out a survey the risk will be assessed by the fullstop consultant, taking into account the location, structure and contents of the premises. The customer’s requirements may include those specified by Insurers and these will all be considered to produce a proposal. Less obvious things like pets in domestic situations, types of setting procedure, alarming separate areas etc. are also considered to ensure that the system supplied is totally appropriate. Following the free security survey fullstop will submit a detailed specification and quotation for approval.

Detection

In addition to various types of magnetic contacts fullstop supply Passive Infra Red and Dual Technology movement detectors as well as shock sensors and break glass detectors for the perimeter. If the system is to be monitored the police will require a confirmed signal, which means that 2 detectors have to be activated before the police are called by the our Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) controllers. This requirement for confirmation means that high-risk areas will need two different detection methods. Control Equipment

All of Fullstops hardwired intruder alarm control panels incorporate at least one separate digital keypad, which can be located in the vicinity of the final exit door(s) or as appropriate. Keypads on monitored systems have the added feature of a built in proximity reader, enabling a fob to be used to set and unset the system. Other than for a very basic small domestic system all control panels comply with Unified Police Policy, clause DD243: 2004 for sequential monitoring confirmation. Fullstop panels also include features like time and date supported event memories, part and ward setting, multiple user codes/fobs and LCD keypads. Signalling

Systems normally include an internal and external sounder and quite often a dummy bell box. There are several types of monitored systems ranging from a speech dialler unit, digital communicator through to a Redcare connection. DualCom and Redcare/GSM high security type equipment offer confirmed signalling technology. Smokecloak

In order to deter the most organised of intruders Smokecloak can be integrated into any burglar alarm system. Upon activation Smokecloak is designed to fill any designated area with not toxic smoke, reducing visibility to virtually zero in just a few seconds and totally disorientating the intruders. General

By utilising the correct detection, control panel and signalling fullstop will install a quality system that will give you peace of mind and present a very real deterrent to a would be burglar.

Wirefree systems
The Visonic Complete wirefree control panel has revolutionised the domestic and small commercial intruder alarm market. With the obvious benefit of no requirement for wiring comes a flexible system that allows code or remote fob set, part set and unset. The system comes with a range of shock and movement detectors including pet tolerant units to accommodate household pets in the protected areas.

In addition to an internal sounder and a wirefree external sounder and strobe light the Powermax system has a built in speech dialler and digital communicator. The dialler can be programmed to telephone up to four numbers and play a recorded message to alert the recipient, it is not recognised as a monitored system and this is reflected in a low annual maintenance charge. The digital communicator dials our Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) and has an electronic exchange of information resulting initially in the keyholders being contacted. In the event of a second detector being activated the communicator will redial and transmit a confirmed alarm signal whereupon the ARC personnel will call the Police. The confirmed alarm protocol is a requirement for all monitored systems as defined in the Unified Police Policy Clause DD243: 2004.
