INTRUDER ALARMS

There are many things to consider when planning an intruder alarm installation that may not be immediately obvious. Each system should be individual to its owners’ requirements; so rather than the one size fits all approach, which most alarm companies opt for, our knowledgeable engineers will discuss & explore all these options for you, clearly explaining the benefits of each so that we can deliver a system tailored to your exact needs and budget. Some common questions and areas of discussion that regularly crop up in our surveys are as follows:

• Do I even really need an alarm & do they deter burglars?
• Is a wired or wireless system best for me?
• What kind of notification do I want when my alarm goes off?
• Can I use the system with my pets?
• Can I protect the outside of my property too?
• Can I control other electrical devices with my system?
• Can I use the system at night?
• Is there an App so I can remotely access the system?
• How can I tell if there is actually someone in my property or if it’s just a false alarm?
• Is there a remote-control option?
• Can I allocate different codes to my family or friends?
• Can I expand the system if I need to later?
• Can I protect a separate area like a shed or garage independently from the house?
• Can I add CCTV cameras to the system?

We will consider all the options for you to ensure that the specification we recommend is the best option for you and your budget.

CCTV SYSTEMS

There has never been a better time to install CCTV or upgrade your older system as there have been massive advancements in CCTV technology in recent years. Gone are the days of useless fuzzy black & white images where it was often impossible to identify anyone. The CCTV systems we install today use only professional grade HD or 4K UHD cameras that give the same high-quality images that you see on your TV at home. Other high tech features include apps that provide remote access and smart detection features, such as number plate and facial recognition. As with most technological advancement, the dramatic reduction in price of the hardware means that these systems are now more affordable than ever.

You may have seen advertisements in newspapers and on TV for a whole array of cheap DIY products that are now on the market. These systems promise the world and appear to offer many great features and value for money. Sadly, the reality is often very different. Inferior quality products coupled with inexperienced DIY-ers installation rarely achieve the desired outcome. At Ally Security, we only use professional grade equipment, which, when installed by our qualified security engineers, will be there when you need it most and still protecting your home for many years to come.

Contact us today to arrange your free no obligation security survey and one of our CCTV experts will visit your property to discuss the best options available to you. Every customer’s needs are different, so we take the time to ensure we specify the optimal system for you and your budget.

Some common questions and areas of discussion that regularly crop in our surveys are as follows:

• On what devices can I view the live feed?
• Can I play back recordings of a specific time or day?
• Can I watch the cameras live remotely on my phone?
• Can I talk to people on the cameras via my phone?
• How long do the cameras record for?
• Do the cameras work in the dark?
• Can I have alerts to my phone if a camera is triggered?
• Are wireless cameras any good?
• Can someone hack in to my system from the internet?
• How long does an installation normally take?
• Are CCTV cameras a good deterrent?

We will consider all the options for you to ensure that the specification we recommend is the best for you and your budget.

ACCESS CONTROL

Keeping your employees safe and buildings secure is a top priority for most companies. Allow your staff access to the areas they need to do their job, but secure other areas of your building and prevent unauthorised access by the general public.

Our Access control systems are suitable for businesses of all sizes and can protect from just 1 door to over one thousand. Protection methods can be as simple as a PIN code keypad or use encoded cards or fobs that give individual access rights to each user. For greater security the latest biometric systems can use fingerprint or facial recognition to authenticate access.

Easy to use software can be loaded on to a computer in your organisation that will enable you to control all aspects of your system from one place.  For example, you can add new or delete existing users, and are able to control which doors they have access to and at what times of day. Simple to use reporting allows you to see who has been where and when. In the event of a fire or security breach, you are able to know exactly who is in the building at any given time. The software can also tell you if there is a problem with the system and if doors have been forced or propped open.

DOOR ENTRY

We can supply a wide variety of door entry systems, ideal for home or apartment use. Our systems range from simple audio intercom units to multi station full colour video systems with web access.

Each installation is different; simply advise us of your exact requirements and we will design the best system for you and your budget.
