Why Choose an Intruder Alarm System for Your Business?
Investing in a commercial intruder alarm system offers numerous benefits. It’s a powerful deterrent to potential intruders since over 50% of convicted burglars reported being discouraged by visible burglar alarms. It provides early detection of attempted break-ins, giving you valuable time to respond and reduces the risk of theft and vandalism, and it can potentially lower your insurance premiums. It can integrate with other security measures, like CCTV, for complete protection.

Wired or Wireless Intruder Alarm Systems for Commercial Properties
Wired Alarm Systems
These systems are a strong option, particularly well-suited for larger properties requiring long-term security. Wired systems offer high reliability. Our team provides installation services to ensure optimal performance. In some cases, wired systems can be integrated with existing building infrastructure, potentially simplifying installation and reducing costs.
Wireless Alarm Systems
These systems offer exceptional flexibility and are easy to install, minimising disruption to your business operations. They are practical and cost-effective, with features like long battery life (up to 7 years in some cases) and a wide wireless range (up to 1500m, depending on the specific system). Wireless devices are excellent for securing the full perimeter of your property, providing early warning of any potential intrusion.

Advanced Verkada Intrusion Detection Technology for Your Business
Verkada offers an up-to-date, cloud-managed approach to intrusion detection. Their systems are designed for ease of use and strong protection, and are fully available across the UK and Europe.
Advanced Features for Superior Business Security
Cloud-Managed Simplicity
Verkada Alarms are built on the cloud-based Command platform. This makes it easy to manage and configure alarm triggers and responses across all your locations.
24/7 Monitoring
The system includes round-the-clock monitoring, with optional video verification and emergency dispatch. This helps significantly reduce false alarms and ensures a rapid, real-time response to threats.
Wide Range of Detection
Secure various entry points with a range of systems of wireless intrusion detection sensors, including door contacts, motion detectors, glass break detectors, and water leak sensors.
Device Integration
Verkada offers seamless integration with other Verkada devices. Cameras, access control systems, and environmental sensors can all work together, giving you complete building coverage.
Remote Management
Full app control allows you to monitor and manage the system from anywhere in the world. You’ll receive instant notifications of any security events, keeping you informed in real-time.
Improve Your Business Security with Integrated Safety Features
Verkada’s integrated platform goes beyond intruder detection, boosting overall safety and providing a more holistic security solution. Because Verkada’s cameras, access control, and environmental sensors work together seamlessly, you can create a powerful, unified system.
For example, if a door is forced open (detected by the alarm system and a door contact sensor), nearby Verkada cameras can automatically begin recording and provide visual verification. This integrated approach extends to other potential threats. Environmental sensors can detect risks like water leaks or temperature changes, triggering alerts through the same Command platform. This allows for faster, more informed responses to a wide range of incidents, all managed from a single location.

Common Inquiries About Our Services
Discover answers to the most common questions about our security solutions, from installation to ongoing support.
What's the main difference between wired and wireless intruder alarm systems?
The biggest difference is how the components connect. Wired systems use physical wires to connect sensors, keypads, and the control panel. Wireless systems use radio signals. Wired systems are generally considered more reliable and tamper-proof, especially for larger properties. Wireless systems are much easier and faster to install, and they offer greater flexibility if you need to move or add components later.
How much does a commercial intruder alarm system cost?
The cost varies widely depending on the size of your property, the number of sensors and devices you need, whether you choose a wired or wireless system, and the level of monitoring you select.
Does Fastech offer 24/7 alarm monitoring?
Yes, the Verkada system we install includes 24/7 professional monitoring as an option. This means that if your alarm is triggered, a monitoring center will be alerted and can take appropriate action, such as contacting you, your designated keyholders, or even dispatching emergency services if necessary.
Can I integrate my intruder alarm system with my existing CCTV system?
If you choose a Verkada system, absolutely! One of the major advantages of Verkada is its seamless integration. Your intruder alarm, cameras, access control, and environmental sensors can all work together through a single, cloud-based platform.
How long does it take to install a commercial intruder alarm system?
Installation time depends on the system’s complexity. Wireless systems are generally much quicker to install, often completed within a day. Wired systems, especially in larger buildings, can take several days or even longer due to the need to run cables.
What happens if there's a power outage?
Both wired and wireless alarm systems typically have battery backups to ensure they continue to function during a power outage. The battery life will vary depending on the system, but it’s usually designed to provide protection for several hours, or even days, giving you time to address the power issue.
