Protecting the home

Burglar Alarms (or intruder alarms as we refer to them in the trade) are the most influential factor in deterring a break-in. Research shows that the majority of residential burglars said that they avoided properties with burglar alarms altogether (source the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) 'Domestic alarms market research survey').

When planning your home security it is worth considering that the Association of British Insurers (ABI) state that the average claim in 2004 for a break-in to a home is £1,040.

This, coupled with the fact that having a security system can mean reduced insurance premiums, suggests it is obviously the sensible option to prevent a break-in rather than fit an intruder alarm system to stop the burglars from coming back.

Protecting Business

When planning security for your business it is not just the issue of financial loss you have to consider but the disruption to your business and the safety of your employees.

The ABI (Association Of British Insurers) stated that the average claim for a break-in to commercial premises' in 2004 was £2,408 not to mention the trauma and stress caused.

Wireless Applications

Alarm Monitoring

Alarm monitoring is designed to be used either remotely, receiving signals from remote Galaxy sites via a telecom, ISDN or ethernet module, or on-site receiving signals directly from an RS232 interface. The encrypted alarm transmissions are captured by the alarm monitoring software and presented to the operator in a precise and detailed manner. The operator is prompted to acknowledge each alarm before taking appropriate action. The activity of each alarm is recorded and time-stamped. Alarm monitoring also allows authorised users to connect directly to the panel via the Galaxy Gold mimic function.
