Alarms

Last year more than 3 in every hundred houses throughout England and Wales were burgled. While that may sound initially like a relatively low minority, just think how many houses there are in your street to see how close to home this crime really is.

With crime figures so high, do you really want to leave your home at risk? Most people only become aware of the importance of having a security system fitted after they have been the unfortunate victims of a break-in. By having a Frontline intruder alarm system fitted by our skilled engineers, you can spare yourself the anguish of a burglary and benefit from peace of mind knowing your home and family are protected.

We design and install a variety of alarm and security systems, according to the needs of your home or business premises. We are happy to advise you as to which system would be best for you. We can provide alarm systems that are:

All our alarm systems are scalable and adaptable, and we will design each system to accommodate your security needs and advise you on the areas of your home or business that we feel to be most at risk.

Bell Only
Audible only burglar alarm systems are perfect for the budget-conscious family not requiring the facility for police response. Acting predominantly as a deterrent to potential trespassers, these security systems sound inside the premises and outside, designed to disturb the intruder and alert your neighbours and passers-by. Although these systems are quite basic, they do increase the security in your home significantly – thieves are easily deterred by the presence of an alarm; the likelihood is that there will be easier targets for them nearby.

These security systems are an affordable way to increase your security and provide your family with invaluable peace of mind.

Wire Free
Wire Free options are available for most types of alarm systems, both bell-only and monitored. They operate on the same principles as traditional alarm set-ups but, as the name suggest, without visible cables.

Research has shown that many people who are interested in safeguarding their homes are discouraged by the prospect of the disruption they imagine the installation of a system will cause. However, wireless technology from Frontline can eliminate all your fears – it is quick and clean to install and once the system is in place you will hardly notice it.

These systems are most popular for newly decorated homes where the owner is concerned that unsightly wires could disrupt the design of their décor, particularly if you have installed wooden or laminate floors throughout your home. Although wired Frontline installations are incredibly discreet, wireless options offer the ultimate in minimalist style with minimum disruption to your home during installation.

Monitored
Continuous monitoring of your security system ensures that you will always receive a response to your alarm – eliminating the danger that everyone will assume that someone else is responding to it! A monitoring system from Frontline is the only way to guarantee a response to every alarm.

Over half of all domestic break-ins in the UK happen whilst the occupants are at home. Realising that you have an intruder in your house can be a terrifying situation to find yourself in, especially if you are alone. A monitored alarm system means that as soon as the signal is given, someone will be on their way to assist you. These systems can also incorporate panic buttons throughout your home for just this reason and smoke detectors to ensure a swift response in the event of a fire that could save you and your families lives.

Even if you are not at home when a break-in occurs it is important to get a quick response, particularly if you are away for an extended period of time. If, for instance, your home is broken into whilst you are away on holiday, if there is no immediate response to the problem your house will be left at risk until your return. If a window is left broken for a fortnight further burglaries are likely, as well as elementary damage from wind and rain to the interior of your home. A monitored alarm system can prevent all these problems from arising.

Monitored alarms are also invaluable for business premises – most firms are required to install monitored systems for insurance purposes, and Frontline can supply a range of monitored alarm systems specially tailored for business premises.

Digital Communicator
The Digital Communicator streams digital information to the alarm receiving centre, reporting any alarm activations that may occur. The monitoring centre will then contact the appropriate emergency service or keyholder.

The use of a Digital Communicator is one of the most cost-effective means of ensuring a response to your alarm.

Redcare
Redcare Systems offer secure alarm signalling via the telephone. This method of signalling is provided exclusively by British Telecom - this system cannot be used with any other service provider.

This type of signalling works on an active telephone line but in a manner that allows full two-way communication even when passing an alarm signal to the alarm-receiving centre.

The Redcare System is in constant communication with the alarm-receiving centre to alert the monitoring staff of any alarm or of a broken connection in the flow of digital information that could imply an attempt by an intruder to disable the security system.

Dual Signalling Path Alarms
Redcare GSM
Redcare GSM enhances the standard Redcare system with the addition of a GSM radio pad that works independently of the telephone line. Using the two types of technology to signal an alarm means that a very high level of secure signalling is achieved, even if the telephone line itself is disabled.

Dualcom
The Dualcom Alarm System combines a digital communicator connected to the telephone line with a radio pad working on a radio network connected to an alarm-receiving centre.

This system does not require a dedicated telephone line and can successfully work on a line shared with a fax machine, modem etc. Using the radio network, as with the GSM systems, signalling does not depend on the telephone line and can still report to the alarm-receiving centre even if the telephone line is sabotaged.

Here at Frontline we take safety seriously and all alarms are manufactured and installed to the relevant standards - BS4737, DD243 and EN50131. For more information on these, or any other of our products, please don’t hesitate to contact us today.

Smokecloak - Demo
The most property-loss occurs within the first few minutes of a break-in, in the time before security teams or the police are able to respond.  Within just a few seconds, Smokecloak fills the room with an impenetrable cloud of smoke to confuse and disorientate the thief.  No burglar can steal what he cannot see and is likely to panic once his exits are no longer visible.

Smokecloak is very safe and will not cause any damage to your property, including any sensitive electric equipment to be found in industrial premises, offices, shops or vehicles.  It is also completely harmless to both humans and animals, being a vapour made from a food stuff – glycol.

Smokecloak is continuously monitored to ensure functionality and once activated can even monitor the density of the cloud to ensure visibility is not restored too quickly.  It is safe and effective and as such is recommended by the Police.

Providing instant protection, Smokecloak is the only proven and professional solution against loss from burglaries.  Designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing electronic security systems – such as intruder alarms – it is one of the most effective loss-prevention systems available.
