When it comes to the safety of loved ones, HSi don’t leave anything to chance, we provide a fully comprehensive service that covers every aspect of your homes security.
Our domestic intruder alarm systems are designed around the customer’s needs. They are expertly installed, concealing wires and leaving your house neat and tidy.
We cater for all domestic needs, going from a bells only alarm system through to a 24 hour monitored system giving Police and key holders notification if a break in ever occurs.
For us the end of an installation is only the beginning of our commitment to you. We offer maintenance contracts on HSi installed systems and on systems installed by others, a visit will be arranged to check and test the existing system and any work required to bring it up to standards would be undertaken before the maintenance contract commencing. HSi has the NSI silver accreditation which is a symbol of the dedication and technical ability we offer to our customers.
HSi install, maintain and take over domestic security systems. We use either fully hard wired systems to grade 2 or 3 or we use a ‘hybrid’ partial hardwired/radio system.
This means all detectors, external sounders, keypads etc all have a cable that originates from the main control panel which is discreetly positioned within the property. These cables are expertly installed throughout the property using roof voids, floor voids, and cavity walls to ensure an emphasis on aesthetics using the latest technology to complement your house decor, including contacts, pet friendly detectors, vibration sensors and smoke detectors.
This means the control equipment of accepting radio devices such as contacts, pet friendly detectors, vibration sensors and smoke detectors. The way a hybrid system works is that the equipment that draws the power or current is hard wired direct back to the control equipment so external bells, key pads and internal sounders are hard wired but the detection can be radio adding the flexibility to install equipment where getting a cable neatly would be difficult.
There are generally three types of alarm system:
Bells only where notification of activation is by an external sounder only.
Speech dialler we can connect the system to your telephone line where in the event of an activation the alarm system will ring you on your mobile or land line to notify you that your alarm has been triggered. Word of caution, this method is only as secure as your phone line being in tact.
We can connect your system through to custodian monitoring via a piece of equipment called a Digi-Air. This is a domestic version of commercial signalling, it is connected to the monitoring via a ‘World Sim Card’. This connects to any mobile phone network and can roam to always get the best signal. In the event of any activations from your alarm system, custodian monitoring would ring nominated key holders to inform them of the condition of the alarm. This method of signalling is secure as it doesn’t require a phone line.
We install and maintain a range of systems that are fully wired, hybrid and wireless. All of our equipment is a minimum of Grade 2 to comply with NSI Regulations
In the event of an alarm activation the alarm will ring from the bell box externally and the internal sounder for 15 minutes and then it will stop. The system will now reset. This will not send notifications to any keyholders.
In the event of an alarm activation the alarm will ring from the bell box externally and internally for 15 minutes and then it will stop. The system will then reset. The system will also send a push notification to your smartphone via the secure connect app using your home broadband. This will allow you to turn your alarm on/off remotely. Each user will have their own ID that can be assigned to a fob and this will be logged on the app.
In the event of an alarm activation the alarm will ring from the bell box externally and internally for 15 minutes and then it will stop. The system will then reset. The system will also send a push notification to your smartphone via the secure connect app using a 4G World sim card that roams to the strongest available network providing you with a secure permanent connection, as opposed to relying on your home broadband and phone line, in the event of a power outage or your phone line being tampered with this method will still send a signal to the Monitoring Station and the Eaton Mobile Phone App.
In the event of a confirmed alarm ( more than one detector has triggered ) the alarm system will contact the monitoring station. The monitoring station will then notify the police who will attend the property subject to a valid police URN (unique reference number)
If only one detector is triggered, the monitoring station will inform the keyholders but the police will not be contacted.
We also provide systems that use a proximity fob to set and unset the alarm. Our customers love this method as it doesn’t require a code and this eliminates user error!
If you have a system that was not installed by Howarth Security Installations and it develops a fault we would be happy to come and diagnose the problem. If the fault cannot be fixed our engineer will provide you with a quotation for an upgrade or new system if necessary.
