Scan Alarms & Security Systems

Since our establishment in 1980, we have become a specialist security systems provider for all types of residential, commercial, industrial, private and public premises; and have earned a reputation for professional and reliable service in every area of our business. Our engineers are ideally situated across Northern Ireland to cover key areas including Belfast.

Working within the retail environment goes hand in hand with specific fire, security and health & safety challenges. From the initial survey we can build a solution that takes account of your property layout, your existing security measures, your market sector and most importantly your individual experience and needs. A common challenge to providing effective protection for any commercial or retail environment is the level of theft and fraud. If you face till fraud, stock loss or even false claims for slips and trips CCTV can be used to combat them all.

Alarm technology and standards are ever evolving and adapting to provide greater levels of protection and new features. Here at Scan Alarms, we ensure that our systems are fully up to date with the latest standards and technology to provide you with the best possible security solutions. Intelligent alarms can now be designed to interact with other security systems, be fitted with a number of insurance approved secure remote signalling methods and can even be connected via your high-speed home broadband to an app on your smartphone for easy, day-to-day use, allowing you to arm, disarm and manage your security even when on the move.

With smart access control systems you can regain control of your home. Our engineers have the training and experience needed to introduce an access control system to your home. We can provide you with a high-end product that is easy to use and offers you the protection and control you're looking for. A wider range of homeowners are now choosing to add an extra level of protection to their property through gate automation. Gate automation helps prevent unannounced callers from entering your property without your agreement.

Intruder alarms are an essential tool for business users. They assist in providing protection for staff, stock and premises against attack or intrusion, whilst also satisfying the requirements of insurers who often require business premises to be fully protected by an operational intruder alarm system monitored by dual path remote signalling with police response as a condition of providing full cover. Today's intelligent intruder alarm systems can now be designed to interact with other systems including the triggering of security lighting, switching off power circuits when armed and reporting freezer alarm and fire sprinkler system activations.

Here at Scan Alarms, we offer a range of home security systems and services to help keep your possessions and loved ones safe.

Whilst CCTV systems are widely recognised for their contribution to deterring and detecting crime, they are also increasingly required to multi-task by monitoring health & safety, manufacturing processes and stock movement.

For medium to large sites and compounds we can provide a mix of static and pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) cameras that can operate in conjunction with conventional lighting on site at night or via discreet, energy-efficient, infra-red LED lighting. Movement detection or Video Analytics may be used to provide a 'ring' of protection around the areas to be covered and, once armed, any motion detected causes the system to communicate with a remote monitoring centre via broadband. The centre can remotely control full-function PTZ cameras to help identify the cause of the activation or track the progress of trespassers around the site.

Having your security system installed is a great step to take towards protecting your property. To further your protection and to ensure that your alarm doesn't go unheard, you can setup a monitoring service. With a monitored alarm service you have more flexibility to determine how your alarm is used and who is alerted following an activation. Our control centre can verify the alert and contact your key-holders. With this service, your alarm is monitored by our control centre and handled as a priority.

At Scan Alarms, we specialise in all aspects of fire alarm detection and prevention.
