Established in 1981, Select Alarm Systems is an independently owned and run business that has become one of the Midlands largest security and fire specialists. With a company motto of "Large enough to cope, but small enough to care", we feel that we offer our clients a truly bespoke service that reflects their needs not our wants. Our BS EN ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management standard also ensures that our consultants, engineers and administrative staff are continuously audited for their design, installation and data processing skills to ensure that they are working to the highest standard at all times.
Any CCTV System, even those that have been compliantly designed, professionally installed and certified, require a regular schedule of maintenance to ensure they are performing to the optimal standard. Yes, we would recommend that all systems be maintained on at least an annual basis, with systems of a more complex nature or connected to a monitoring centre being maintained on a 6 monthly basis, to ensure compliance with industry standards. Depending on the type of system you have installed, our Engineers will rigorously carry out all relevant tests to check your system is operating correctly, helping to reduce unnecessary faults that could potentially cause system failure or breakdown.
In recent years next generation security systems have become far more IT based. Utilising either Local Area Networks (LAN) or Wide Area Networks (WAN), installers can now design and install fully integrated systems that can bring together the management of all aspects of an organisation's security. Integration provides a truly single solution approach to building management, by enabling your staff to access all unmonitored events via one application installed on your server, rather than having to log into individual systems software.
A monitored CCTV system not only provides you with a more efficient and cost effective alternative to a static security guard or mobile patrol, it also gives you peace of mind that your premises are being monitored 24 hours a day. With a mixture of fixed and fully functional cameras connected to external movement detectors and video analytics, anyone trespassing onto your property will alert our monitoring centre, whose operators will dial into your system, review the live footage and notify the police, keyholder or security as required.
