Are Intruder Alarms Still Worth It?

Introduction

It’s a comment we hear time and time again: “Do business intruder alarms still work? Doesn’t everyone just ignore them?” In truth, intruder alarms remain a vital part of any business security strategy. While public attitudes may have changed, advancements in technology have made modern intruder alarms more intelligent, responsive, and effective than ever before. At Rossells Security Solutions, we know first-hand how our intruder alarm systems help East Midlands businesses protect their premises, assets, and staff.

The Reality: Why Intruder Alarms Are Still Essential

Criminals are opportunists. Even the sight of a high-quality alarm system acts as a strong deterrent. Our business intruder alarms don’t just make noise—they form an integral part of a layered security solution. When paired with CCTV, access control and automatic barriers, their effectiveness increases exponentially.

The Rossells Advantage: Business Intruder Alarm Features

Rossells offers a full range of professionally installed and monitored business intruder alarms. Here’s why our alarms stand out:

1. Police or Keyholder Response

Our alarms are connected to either the police or nominated keyholders. This guarantees action when an alarm is triggered, eliminating the outdated view of alarms going ignored.

2. 24/7 Monitoring

Rossells provides constant professional monitoring, ensuring that any alarm activation is immediately investigated and responded to, no matter the time of day or night.

3. Insurance Compliance

Many insurance providers now require monitored alarms to validate cover. A Rossells alarm system ensures full compliance with insurer requirements, providing peace of mind and protecting your business.

4. Internal and External Protection

Our alarms don’t just protect doors and windows. Internal sensors monitor valuable equipment, restricted areas, and sensitive stock.

5. App Control

Easily control your alarm system remotely via smartphone. Arm and disarm the system, check activity logs, and receive instant notifications.

6. Expandable System

Our intruder alarm systems are modular. As your business grows, your security grows with you. Add extra zones, sensors, or integrate with CCTV and access control at any time.

7. Battery Back-Up

Even in the event of a power outage, your system stays live with built-in battery backup, offering continuous protection.

Why Intruder Alarms Work Best as Part of an Integrated System

Business intruder alarms offer excellent standalone protection, but they are most effective when part of a fully integrated business security system. At Rossells, we design holistic security solutions combining:

• Intruder alarms

• CCTV monitoring

• Access control and electronic gates

• Intercom systems and visitor management

This multi-layered approach prevents intrusions at every stage—from perimeter protection to internal monitoring.
