CCTV, Alarms & Access Control
Security systems in Plymouth
We install, monitor and maintain CCTV, intruder alarms and access control across Plymouth and the South West. We are based at Airport Business Centre in Plymouth, so when you ring us you get somebody local who can be with you the same day if it is urgent.
We look after commercial and domestic premises, from a single house alarm to multi-camera systems across an industrial site. If you already have a system that somebody else installed, we are happy to take it on.
CCTV systems
HD cameras specified for your building rather than a boxed kit off a shelf. Footage you can actually use as evidence, and an app so you can check the premises from wherever you are.
Intruder alarms
Wired and wireless alarms for homes and commercial premises, set up properly so false activations do not become a weekly nuisance. Texecom and Pyronix panels.
Access control
Door entry, fobs, keypads and app-based access. Decide who gets into which areas and when, and cancel a lost fob in seconds instead of rekeying the building.
24/7 monitoring
Systems monitored locally around the clock, so an activation is seen and acted on rather than sounding into an empty yard at three in the morning.
Keyholding and response
We hold the keys and attend, so your staff are not turning out at night. Manned response 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Servicing and takeovers
Servicing, fault finding and repairs, including systems we did not install. If your current provider has gone quiet or put their prices up, we will take the system on.

Texecom | Hikvision | Pyronix
The systems we install
We fit equipment we can get parts for and stand behind, rather than whatever happens to be cheapest that month. Intruder alarms are usually Texecom or Pyronix, both British manufacturers whose panels are straightforward to service and to expand later. CCTV is normally Hikvision.
Sticking to a small number of manufacturers means our engineers know the kit properly, the common spares are already in the van, and your system can be added to in five years without starting again from scratch.
Surveyed and quoted
What it costs
Security work is priced on the building. The number of cameras, where cabling has to run, how many doors need controlling and whether the system is monitored move the cost far more than anything else, so a published price list would only ever be guesswork.
We survey the premises free of charge and send a written quotation afterwards, with no obligation. Ring us with a rough idea of the site and we can usually give you a sensible ballpark over the phone before anyone visits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What security services do you offer?
CCTV, intruder alarms, access control and monitoring, for commercial and domestic premises. That covers installation, servicing, repairs and taking over existing systems, plus keyholding and manned response.
How quickly can you get to a callout?
Within four hours. We run a callout service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with engineers based in Plymouth rather than on a national rota.
Will you take on a system you did not install?
Yes. We regularly take on CCTV and alarm systems that somebody else installed. We will survey what is there, tell you honestly whether it is worth keeping, and look after it from then on.
Do you monitor alarms yourselves?
Yes, systems are monitored locally and around the clock. We also offer keyholding and a manned response service, so if an alarm activates we attend rather than ringing you at two in the morning.
