Only professionally installed and maintained alarm systems can be connected to an ARC. Choosing SDS gives you access to a wide range of monitoring services which means that signals sent to the ARC from your system will be dealt with in the appropriate manner, whether it’s a fire, intruder, panic or open or close signal, you know that your alarm will not be ignored even if you are not around to hear it yourself. If necessary the emergency services will be contacted.

The following monitoring services are available dependent upon the level of risk and budget.

Push Notifications to your Smart Device

Self-monitoring your commercial alarms is easy with push notifications to your smart device. If triggered, the alarm will send a push notification to your phone or smart device via our app to alert you. If you believe this is due to a threat, you can alert a neighbour or the police immediately. As this solution is not linked to our monitoring systems, it relies on your phone having service to receive the notification and you being available to action it. For example, if you are on holidays, in a different time-zone, or out of service you might need to consider a back up plan.

Single Path Monitoring via GPRS

This solution offers GPRS communication to the ARC as it has an in-built SIM card allowing it to communicate via mobile communication. This saves on the need to pay for a dedicated phone line but does depend on the mobile network being operational and is at risk of mobile jamming equipment. It complies with all regulations and can be set up to call the Police.

Dual Path Signalling

Dual path signalling involves using a landline and a GSM radio Network. If either path is compromised or goes down the ARC will be alerted and take appropriate action. Though more complex and expensive than single path signalling, dual path signalling is far more secure and preferred among insurance companies.

In order to gain emergency service response the alarm system must meet the current regulations. The police will only attend if the activation can be ‘confirmed’. To achieve confirmation 2 separate detectors must be activated within a given time frame. The ARC will filter the signals and only pass ‘confirmed’ signals to the police.

Testimonials

I was very happy with the work SDS did. On time and to budget and the installer was very tidy and found a way to install the system with minimal internal or external property damage.

I have used SDS Security Ltd to provide my security needs for the last 19 years. I have chosen to stay with them for this period of time as their staff are always reliable, courteous and helpful. Having been a customer of SDS Security Ltd over this length of time it is apparent that there good reputation has grown over the years and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
Angela Holy-Hasted
We have been SDS customers for 12 years and cannot fault the service they provide. I have total faith in their security services. The customer service is exceptional and when I do stupid things like put the alarm on from habit forgetting I am leaving my mum in the house they are very understanding! When we renovated our home we went through all options available to us and I feel we got really good advice and were not sold anything we didn't need.
