How long does wireless alarm installation take?

Most wireless alarm installations take 3-5 hours depending on property size and number of sensors. Installation is significantly quicker than traditional wired alarms as there's no cable running through walls. We'll complete the full installation, configuration, and demonstration in a single visit with minimal disruption to your day.

Are wireless alarms as reliable as wired systems?

Yes, modern wireless alarms are extremely reliable using encrypted radio signals with tamper detection. Our systems have battery backup in all devices, anti-jamming technology, and regular self-testing. Many insurance companies now prefer wireless systems due to their advanced features and reliability. All our installations are insurance-approved.

Can I control my alarm from my smartphone?

Yes, all our wireless alarm systems include smartphone app control as standard. You can arm/disarm your alarm remotely, receive instant alerts for activations, check system status, and view event history from anywhere in the world. We'll configure the app and demonstrate all features during installation.

Do wireless alarms work during power cuts?

Yes, all our wireless alarm systems have built-in battery backup. The main control panel contains a rechargeable battery providing 12-24 hours of operation during power cuts. Individual sensors also have long-life batteries (typically 2-5 years). You'll receive low battery warnings via the app well before replacement is needed.

How many sensors do I need for my property?

This depends on your property size and layout. For most homes, we recommend 1 motion detector per floor covering main living areas, plus door/window contacts on all external entry points (front door, back door, ground floor windows). Our engineers will survey your property and recommend optimal sensor placement for complete coverage.

Can wireless alarms be monitored 24/7?

Yes, we offer professional 24/7 alarm monitoring services with police response. When your alarm activates, our monitoring center is alerted immediately and contacts you to verify. For confirmed activations, police are dispatched automatically. Monitoring costs £15-30/month depending on service level. We can also install self-monitored systems that alert only you via smartphone.

Will a wireless alarm reduce my insurance premiums?

Yes, most insurance companies offer discounts (typically 10-15%) for properties with professionally installed, insurance-approved alarm systems. Our systems meet all insurance industry requirements. We provide installation certificates and compliance documentation for your insurer. Always check with your specific insurer for their requirements.

Can you add cameras to my wireless alarm?

Yes, many of our wireless alarm systems integrate with IP cameras and video doorbells. This creates a complete security system combining intrusion detection with visual verification. We can install integrated alarm and CCTV systems that work together seamlessly with unified smartphone control.

What's the difference between Grade 2 and Grade 3 alarms?

Grade 2 alarms are suitable for low-to-medium risk properties (most homes). They include basic anti-tamper features and are recognized by insurance companies. Grade 3 alarms are for higher-risk properties (commercial, high-value homes) with enhanced anti-tamper, encryption, and monitoring requirements. We'll recommend the appropriate grade based on your property and insurance needs.

Do I need a landline phone connection for a wireless alarm?

No. Modern wireless alarm systems use the mobile network (SIM-based communication) to send alerts, contact monitoring centres, and notify you via smartphone app. This makes them entirely independent of your landline and broadband. SIM-based communication also means a burglar cutting your phone line has no effect on the alarm's ability to raise an alert.

What is a PIR sensor and how does it work?

PIR stands for Passive Infrared — a sensor that detects changes in infrared radiation caused by movement of warm bodies (people, animals) within its detection zone. Our PIR detectors are available in standard and pet-immune versions; pet-immune sensors use a dual-channel element that distinguishes between small animals below a configurable weight threshold and adult humans, significantly reducing false alarms in homes with cats and dogs.

Can I add a panic button to my alarm system?

Yes — panic buttons (also called personal attack buttons) are a standard optional add-on for our wireless alarm systems. They can be installed as wall-mounted buttons near the front door, in bedrooms, or as portable keyfob-style devices. When activated, they trigger a silent or audible alarm immediately — useful for summoning help if you feel threatened without alerting an intruder that police have been called.

What happens if an intruder cuts the power before triggering the alarm?

All components in our wireless alarm installations include individual battery backup. The main control panel has a rechargeable standby battery providing 12–24 hours of operation, and each sensor has its own long-life battery (2–5 years typical). The system is completely immune to mains power cuts. Tamper detection also triggers an immediate alarm if anyone attempts to open or remove any component.

How often do the batteries in wireless alarm sensors need replacing?

Battery life varies by sensor type and usage, but most modern wireless alarm sensors use long-life lithium batteries lasting 2–5 years. The system monitors battery levels continuously and sends low-battery warnings via smartphone notification and keypad indicator well before replacement is needed. We provide guidance on battery replacement during installation and include it in any maintenance contract.

Can you install alarms in listed or period properties?

Yes — wireless alarms are particularly well-suited to listed and period properties precisely because they require no cable runs through walls, no chasing of plaster, and no modifications to the building fabric. Sensors are surface-mounted with minimal fixings. All our wireless sensors use low-impact mounting techniques and can be installed in listed buildings without the consent requirements that wired system installations would trigger.

What is the difference between self-monitoring and professionally monitored alarms?

Self-monitored alarms send alerts directly to your smartphone when triggered — you decide whether to call police or investigate yourself. Professionally monitored alarms connect to a 24/7 monitoring centre: trained operators receive the alert, attempt to contact you, and dispatch police for confirmed activations. Professional monitoring costs £15–30 per month and provides a response even when you're unavailable. Both options are available with our systems.

Can a wireless alarm also function as a fire alarm?

Yes — our wireless alarm systems can incorporate heat detectors and optical smoke detectors as additional zones. These use the same radio frequency network as the intruder sensors, with a distinct alarm tone and LED indication to differentiate fire alerts from intruder alerts. Combined intruder and fire detection in a single system is increasingly popular and costs less than installing two separate systems.

What is a key safe and can you install one alongside the alarm?

A key safe is a wall-mounted combination lock box that holds a spare key — useful for keyholders, carers, and emergency services who need access without you being present. We install key safes alongside alarm systems as a practical complement, particularly for elderly customers and those requiring regular carer access. Police-approved key safes (Sold Secure Gold rated) are available and are accepted by most insurers.

Can you upgrade my existing wired alarm to a wireless system?

Yes — most wired alarm control panels can be replaced with a wireless panel while retaining existing external siren boxes and door contacts where compatible. Alternatively, we install a completely new wireless system alongside removal of the old wired panel. Upgrading to wireless gives you smartphone control, app monitoring, and modern features that most wired systems from the 1990s and 2000s cannot support.
