Complete Security Solutions for Homes, Businesses and Corporate Premises

Yes, if you have a local recorder on site. It records to its own storage regardless of your internet connection, and simply cannot be viewed remotely until the connection is back. Cloud-only systems stop recording during an outage, which is why we recommend local storage as at least part of the setup.

It depends on the storage size you choose and how many cameras are recording at once, and we work this out with you at the survey based on how far back you would realistically need to look. Two to four weeks is typical for a local recorder on a standard household system.

Yes. Most recorders are installed with spare channels, and we design the initial system knowing a client often adds a camera or two once they see what the coverage actually looks like on site.

Installed to the standard we work to, the pulse is a short, controlled shock meant to deter, not injure, and is the same technology used on farm and residential perimeters across the country. Signage is required and fitted as standard so anyone approaching the fence is warned before contact.

The energizer runs on battery backup, so a short outage does not take the fence down. For longer outages the battery is sized at installation to a runtime we agree with you based on how long outages tend to run in your area.

Yes. We inspect it the same way we would a fence we are quoting from scratch, confirm whether it meets the compliant voltage and signage standard, and quote the repair or the parts of it that need bringing up to standard.

The panel sounds the on site siren where fitted, and sends an alert to your phone through the mobile app. If you have connected a monitoring service, it also notifies them, and their own response process takes over from there.

For most homes, a mobile alert to you and to a neighbour or family member is enough. A monitoring service adds a third party watching around the clock and a dispatched response, which matters more for a property that is often empty or a business with stock on site.

Typically once every one to two years depending on the sensor and how often it triggers. The panel reports a low battery well before it fails, so it is a planned replacement, not a surprise.

A standard alarm tells you the perimeter has been breached. A zoned intrusion system tells you which section, which matters once a property has more than one side or gate to check, and integrates with CCTV so the right camera starts recording automatically the moment a zone trips.

A stray animal can break a low beam, which is why beam height and sensitivity are set at installation based on what actually crosses the site. Heavy rain or dust can also affect some beam types, which we account for when choosing equipment for an outdoor Kenyan install rather than a sheltered one.

It can integrate with an alarm panel already installed, ours or from another installer, provided that panel supports zoned inputs. Where it does not, we fit a dedicated zone controller alongside it.

With backup power fitted, which we recommend and install as standard, yes. Without it the gate can usually still be released and pushed open by hand using a manual release the motor is fitted with, which we show you at handover.

In most cases yes. We inspect the existing gate to confirm it is structurally sound enough to carry a motor and moves freely on its track or hinges, then fit the motor and controls to it rather than replacing the gate itself.

Most controllers support a large number of remotes, well beyond what a household or small office needs, so adding a remote for a new family member or staff member later is a quick call, not a reinstall.

Every user is enrolled with more than one finger where the reader supports it, and most systems fall back to a PIN or a card for exactly this reason, so a temporary injury does not lock anyone out.

Yes. Users are set up in groups with their own permitted doors and hours, so a cleaner can be given access only during working hours and a visitor a single temporary credential, without touching anyone else's access.

Yes, that log is one of the reasons institutions choose biometric over cards: every entry is tied to the actual person, and the log can be exported for attendance or security review.

Deactivate the lost card in the management system and issue a new one. The lost card stops working the moment it is deactivated, so there is no window where a found or stolen card still opens anything.

Yes, that is the standard way to handle a guest or contractor: the card is issued with an expiry, a single day or a set number of visits, and stops working on its own without anyone having to remember to deactivate it.

Yes, a card reader is one of the standard ways to trigger an automated gate we fit, alongside remote and keypad access, so a resident or staff card can open both the gate and a building door on the same credential.

The lock warns for a long period before it fails, and every lock we fit keeps a mechanical key override for the case where the warnings were missed. Some models also accept an external power pack at the door to get you in.

Yes. Issue a code that works only on certain days or for a fixed period, and it expires on its own. The access log then shows when it was used, which is the part landlords and short-let hosts tend to value most.

Usually, but the survey confirms it. Door thickness, the handing of the door and the existing lock case all determine which models fit, which is why we check before quoting rather than after arriving with a lock.

That depends on where sensitivity is set, which is a decision made with you at calibration. Most entrances settle on a level that ignores everyday pocket items and reacts to larger metal objects, because a detector that alarms constantly is one guards quickly learn to wave people through.

Walk-through detectors use a low-intensity magnetic field rather than radiation. Manufacturers publish guidance on medical devices, which we hand over with the unit, and most sites also keep a hand-held scanner so anyone who prefers not to walk through can be screened separately.

It needs a mains connection at the entrance, which is part of the installation. Battery backup can be specified so screening continues through an outage, which matters where the detector is the only thing controlling entry.
