Client Win:

Full Perimeter Intruder Alarm and CCTV System

Challenges

  • The client moved into a new property and wanted the house and several high-value items to be fully protected.

  • Required the ability for the clients and their dog to roam the house whilst the perimeter was fully secure, as well as being able to have internal motion detection when the house is empty.

  • An office in the garden required independent arming/disarming from the house.

  • Client wanted complete CCTV coverage, with high-quality images during the day and night.

  • Requested the ability to integrate the CCTV outputs to the alarm system for external motion detection notification.

  • Full smartphone control and notification for the entire system.

Solution

  • Using existing cabling infrastructure and some new cabling, we proposed a hybrid intruder alarm system to allow both wired and wireless devices.

  • The client agreed on our ‘belt-and-braces’ approach and every ground floor window and door was fitted with shock/contact devices, as well as internal motion detectors.

  • Multiple areas programmed to control the house and office separately, and part set options to omit internal motion when clients/pets were in the house.

  • An 8 channel IP CCTV system, to cover the entirety of the grounds of the premises, including wired links to the alarm system.

 Technology

  • An Orisec CP100 system was selected for it’s large capacity, flexibility and for future upgrades.

  • Network of wired and wireless expanders provided connectivity for the 40 detection zones.

  • Orisec Touch screen keypads and proximity readers were installed to provide an attractive and simple user experience.

  • Dual Technology detectors were used to minimise false activations.

  • HIKVision ColorVu 4MP and 8MP cameras were chosen for their ability to produce full colour images 24/7.

  • Orisec and HIK-Connect cloud services were used to achieve remote connectivity, for viewing and maintenance via mobile app.

Outcome

  • The client and their family have full control of their home security from wherever they are in the world.

  • Early notification of activity on their property whilst they’re away.

  • A high quality finish, with no cables on show.

  • Pets can roam freely around the house with no false alarms

  • The client feels safe in the evening with a ‘perimeter set’ securing all the windows/doors to their home.

  • Future expansion is available without the need for any infrastructure upgrades
