Questions

Frequently asked questions about bank security and alarm systems

Is my business required to have a grade 3 alarm?

It depends on the activity. Regulations require it for businesses such as jewellers, petrol stations, banks and lottery outlets. We review your case during the visit.

What is the difference between grade 2 and grade 3?

Grade 3 requires greater resistance to tampering, dual-path communication and anti-masking detectors.

Do you install grade 3 with no building work?

Yes. We use wireless Ajax equipment certified to EN 50131, including grade 3.

Does the alarm notify the police?

Yes. The alarm is connected to a receiving centre that operates 24 hours a day and notifies the police in the event of an intrusion.

What does the alarm receiving centre do?

It receives the signal from your alarm at any hour and handles the alert. In the event of an intrusion it notifies the police, and you also get a notification on your phone.

Can I combine an alarm and cameras?

Yes. They can be combined and managed together from the mobile app, so you see what is happening while the centre handles the alert.

Which areas do you cover?

We install in Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera. We are based in Palma.
