Can I leave my alarm activated when my dog (or cat) is in the house?
Yes. Where pets are present, we fit pet-tolerant motion sensors that will be activated by a human being but not by dogs or cats.

Ø

Can I leave the alarm on downstairs at night?
Yes. We can organise your alarm system into zones, which can be activated independently, or altogether.

Ø

Is the alarm still operational if there's a power cut?
Yes. A stand-by battery takes over, and is automatically re-charged when power is restored.

Ø

Will I be able to see a lot of cables?
We will hide cables wherever it is possible, which it usually is.  We can advise you of the possibilities for your own installation when we do the survey, before you make any commitment.

Ø

Will I get any money off my property insurance?
Yes, if you have a service contract for your installation with a NACOSS accredited contractor such as MM Security.

Ø

Will you take over the servicing of my existing system?
Yes, if the installation is of the right quality, or if we carry out any work necessary to address any quality problems. See Servicing.

Ø

Is my system supposed to shut down automatically after a certain period of time?
There is a legal requirement that any alarm must shut down automatically after ringing for 20 minutes and all our installations conform to this requirement.

Ø

How do you provide CCTV coverage for unlit areas? 
Typically, we will install either a Low-Wattage Metal Halide or Infra-Red Lighting System.
