Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have questions? We have the answers! Explore our frequently asked questions (FAQ) and find clear and concise answers to the things we get asked the most about.
1. How do monitored intruder alarms differ from standard systems?
A standard “bells-only” alarm relies on passersby to take action. In contrast, our 24/7 monitored intruder alarms are linked to our 24/7 Control Room. When a sensor is triggered, a signal is instantly sent to our team, who can verify the threat and dispatch emergency services or mobile response units immediately.
2. Will a professional intruder alarm reduce my business insurance?
Yes, most commercial insurers require an NSI-approved intruder alarm to validate your policy. By installing a system that meets British and European standards, you demonstrate a proactive approach to risk management, which can lead to lower annual premiums and a reduced risk of claims being rejected.
3. Can I control my business security system via a mobile app?
Absolutely. Our modern systems feature smart mobile integration, allowing you to arm or disarm your alarm remotely. You will receive instant push notifications for any activations, system faults, or power failures, giving you total oversight of your property from anywhere in the world.
4. How often should a commercial intruder alarm be serviced?
To maintain NSI compliance and ensure your insurance remains valid, commercial systems should typically be serviced twice a year. Regular maintenance by our certified engineers prevents false alarms, ensures battery backups are functional, and confirms all sensors are providing maximum coverage.
5. What is the difference between wired and wireless intruder alarms?
Wired systems are often preferred for permanent, large-scale commercial properties due to their extreme reliability and lack of battery maintenance for sensors. However, wireless security systems offer a cleaner, faster installation with minimal disruption to your building’s fabric. Both options provided by Northern Security are highly secure, featuring anti-masking and encrypted signal technology to prevent interference.
