System grades

Grade 3 - Commercial

For higher-risk commercial premises. Assumes a more experienced intruder with tools. Often required by commercial insurers for high-value stock or cash.

FAQs

Common questions

To obtain a police URN (Unique Reference Number) in Wales, your system must be installed by an NSI-approved contractor and use confirmed alarm signalling (BS 8243). We install systems to this standard and will apply for your URN as part of the commission process.

Both have merits. Wired systems are more reliable long-term with no battery changes; wireless is quicker to install with less disruption to your property. We install both and will recommend the best option for your specific situation during the survey.

For monitored systems, our ARC (alarm receiving centre) is notified immediately. Depending on your response plan, they will call your keyholders, contact the police, or both. For unmonitored systems, an audible bell/siren activates and a notification is sent to your smartphone.

Annual servicing is required to maintain NSI compliance and police response eligibility. Our maintenance visit includes a full functional test of every detector, sounder, control panel and signalling path, plus a written inspection report.
