House Alarms
in Kelso,
checked from your phone.

We do, and Kelso is part of the round along with Sprouston, Ednam, Stichill, Smailholm, Roxburgh, Heiton, Eckford, Morebattle and the Yetholms. Nothing is added to the price for the journey, there is no call-out fee, and the quote that follows the visit costs you nothing and commits you to nothing.

Very little. The panel, keypad, door contacts, movement detectors and the outside siren all talk to each other wirelessly, with a 300m transmission range on the external siren, so nothing is pulled from room to room. Cameras are the one exception, because they need power and data by cable, and the engineer works those routes out with you while at the house.

It affects where boxes and cameras are put rather than whether you can have them. The siren and any cameras are sited to be effective without dominating the frontage, and the engineer will suggest positions on a gable, under an eave or at the rear where that works better. If you are in any doubt about consents on a listed property, check with Scottish Borders Council before we fix anything.

On its own, less than it would be in a street, which is why an isolated house usually pairs the siren with alerts to your phone and, for many households, monitoring. Linked to an alarm receiving centre staffed 24/7, a trigger means your keyholders or a response service are contacted immediately, whether or not anybody was near enough to hear it.

Yes. A camera can look along the approach and across the yard, and cable runs out to an outbuilding are measured at the survey and priced in. For detection, the wireless outdoor sensor reads 12m across a 90 degree arc and is pet immune up to 24kg, which suits a gate or a yard entrance.

Darkness is what they are designed around. The cameras we fit hold full colour after dark instead of switching to grey infrared, and colour is what makes a description of clothing or a vehicle usable. Recording is triggered by movement, and alerts can be set to people and vehicles rather than every deer or fox.

No difficulty. Indoor detectors are pet-friendly, which is there to keep false triggers down, and the outdoor sensor ignores animals up to 24kg. Tell the engineer which rooms the animals use and the detectors are placed accordingly.

On a recorder inside the house, holding roughly 30 to 60 days on a loop depending on how many cameras feed it. There is no monthly charge for recording locally or for the app, and encrypted cloud backup can be added for a small monthly cost if you want a copy held elsewhere.

Allow roughly 2 to 4 weeks between signing off the design and the fitting day while the equipment is ordered and a date agreed. At the property, the work normally runs to 1 to 2 working days. The system is tested and the app is running before the van leaves.
