Burglar Alarm and CCTV in Bexley

We're a family run security company based in Sidcup, and Bexley is the next town over - close enough that a fair share of our working week is spent in and around it. Between new installs, upgrades, servicing and the odd emergency call-out, we've been looking after burglar alarms and CCTV in Bexley for years, in the old village itself and on the streets out beyond it.

On the fitting side we do burglar alarm systems, CCTV systems and door entry systems, and we pick up other companies' systems just as willingly - servicing, faults, batteries and upgrades, whatever the make. A regular Bexley job for us is the customer who has bought a house with an alarm already in it and can't get hold of whoever fitted it. If that's you, take a photo of the panel, email it to Sales@MyAlarmSecurity.co.uk and we'll tell you what you've got and whether it's worth keeping. Between us we have over 30 years in the security industry, and there's very little we haven't come across.

Every alarm we fit can be app controlled as well, if that's something you'd want.

What does the app do? The app allows you to set and unset your system remotely - maybe you've gone out for the day and not sure if you have set the system or maybe you have gone on holiday and with all the rushing around, can't remember if you set the alarm! The app allows you to check if your system is set, and if not, you can set it (and unset it) at the touch of a button on your phone. It really is as simple as that. Maybe you have a cleaner going in or a family member and they don't know your alarm code, not to worry, you can log straight in via your phone app and unset the system so they can safely enter without activating the alarm. The app also notifies you if your alarm has been activated and in which room the activation has occurred. The app connects to your alarm system via your internet and will need to be connected in order for the app to work. (an active internet subscription is not required for the alarm system to function - it is just for the app)

How much is the app? The app is free for the first year and then £25 per year thereafter (subject to manufacturer price increases).

Do I have to have the app? The answer is no, you don't. If you decide that you do not want the app, your alarm system will still work as it should. The only difference is that you will not be able to remotely connect to your system or be notified if it has been activated. All settings will have to be done at the alarm panel within the property.

If you're weighing up a new alarm for a house or a business in Bexley, our burglar alarm packages cover the usual setups. They're not set menus - extra sensors, key fobs and door contacts can go on or come off until the package matches your property rather than the other way round.

CCTV work we've done in Bexley

Plenty of our CCTV installs have been in Bexley itself. On one job, keeping the cabling up to standard was the whole point of it: the cable had to be external grade and tucked into conduit along the worst of the run, because cable left out in the weather and the sun's UV perishes within a year or two and drags the whole system down with it. That job is written up here: neat conduit on a CCTV installation in Bexley.

On another Bexley system the cameras run at 5MP, which is already sharp, but the key camera at the front of the property went up as a 4K unit so you can zoom right into the recorded footage without the image falling apart. You can read about that 4K camera upgrade in Bexley. There's also a day and night ColorVu comparison if you want an idea of what colour-at-night footage looks like next to a standard camera.

CCTV in Bexley

For CCTV in Bexley we use hard-wired Hikvision systems, with ColorVu cameras that hold onto their colour all through the night instead of dropping back to the old black and white. Because everything cables back to a recorder rather than relying on the broadband, recording never stops when the internet does, and the app still gives you live view and playback from wherever you happen to be. The systems we fit are set up to store around 30 days of footage. We'll go through camera positions, where the recorder sits and how we route the cables at the survey, before anything is booked in - a camera mounted at the wrong height won't pick out a face when it matters.

Take a look at the current CCTV packages, including CCTV Package 1 and CCTV Package 2.

Alarm servicing and battery changes in Bexley

When an alarm in Bexley starts beeping for a battery, throwing faults, or has simply gone years without being looked at, we come out and sort it - on systems we fitted and on everybody else's alike. We service and repair the main makes, Pyronix, Texecom, Scantronic, Visonic, Galaxy and Honeywell among them, plus older Menvier and Veritas kit we still see plenty of. A photo of the panel emailed over tells us most of the story before we set off, and the common batteries and parts ride on the van with us, so most servicing and repair visits are finished in one trip. There's more detail on our servicing, faults and battery changes page.

"Very good workmanship, very tidy, cleared away behind him and very polite and reliable man, also bonus local and knew his trade." - Checkatrade review from Bexley (DA5), 2018
