For the last 30 years Care Guard have been providing security, CCTV, door entry systems and other security measures for home owners in Basingstoke and surrounding areas. You may even have bought a new home from a property developer and found one of our alarms installed. If you are not sure about what security system you need for your home call 01256 477472 and talk to our helpful operators. Established in 1984 as R.I.C. Alarms, we changed our name and became a limited company in 1989, achieving NSI/NACOSS standard in 1996 having previously been a member of the SSAIB achieving their "Certificate of Merit" for many years.
Security lighting can be fitted to aid in the detection of intruders, to deter intruders, or in some cases simply to increase the feeling of safety. Security lights can be operated manually or automatically by infra-red detectors which activate the lights when a person moves into its field of vision. They are ideal as an addition to a CCTV system for night-time surveillance at your home or place of work. At Care Guard, we will listen to your exact specifications and design your lighting to provide the best solution for your property and position the lights for the best coverage.

We have well over 100 years combined experience, initially working predominately within the new housing sector for both small and national developers across the south of England. In fact we were one of the very first companies in the UK and certainly the South, to bring affordable systems to the new build housing market as part of the standard home specification.
The key to achieving these goals starts the moment you pick up the phone to request your free no obligation security risk assessment and survey. Call us on 01256 477472. Once an appointment has been made one of our surveyors or suitable trained engineer will attend as soon as mutually practicable. Our surveyors are all experienced technicians/engineers who are actively involved installing and servicing alarm and security systems so you are assured that no sales reps will call and the surveyors actually know what they are talking about.
If you are the first in your road, close or cul de sac to have a Care Guard Security alarm fitted, we'll give you an extra detector free of charge worth up to E75. In addition to our standard terms and conditions (available on request) wiring to be installed through loft, suspended ceiling or surface wired with clear access required. 30m max cable run per camera. DVR to be located in 1st floor room cupboard or other easily accessible location. Suitable power required at DVR location. Cameras to be fitted to an accessible and safe location reachable via standard ladder in a safe manner by single engineer.
Over the years wireless systems have evolved to become extremely reliable with very long battery life in comparison with the early versions. Reliability is now as good as wired systems, sometimes better. Typical battery life will be up to 2-3 years and sometimes longer although we do recommend replacement every 2 years. Some devices are shorter life expectancy, such as smoke detectors, but we will advise at the time of survey and also again at installation. Battery changes are really the only downside to wireless system's but battery cost can be seen as being offset to a certain extent as wireless is usually much speedier to install, thus cutting down on labour costs.
We can offer cost effective fire alarm installation, maintenance and service for small to medium commercial premises and residential properties including guest houses and hotels. All equipment used is from reputable well know manufacturers such as Apollo, Fike and C-Tec and installed to the applicable BS5839 standard. For properties not requiring a full system we can fit stand alone or interlinked smoke and heat detection or incorporate detection into your intruder alarm. If you have a system not installed by us which needs servicing or maintenance, please forward details and we will see if we can support your system.
