Ultimate Home Solutions designs, supplies and fits new house alarms, CCTV and video doorbells for homes in South Queensferry and Dalmeny. The old town along the High Street is tightly built, stone and pantile, with vennels and steps rather than driveways and often no rear access to speak of, while Echline, Ferrymuir and the newer streets off Builyeon Road are laid out with open frontages, back paths and garages. Salt air off the Forth is a factor too, so outdoor equipment is sited where the elevation offers some shelter. The panel is wireless, so no cable is chased through old stone, and the system answers to your phone.
Queensferry homes do not all need the same list. A flat on the High Street is often fine with the alarm and a doorbell you can answer from the office, whereas a house at Echline or off Builyeon Road with a garage, a driveway and a path behind the garden usually wants cameras front and back plus detection outside. Here is what each part is for.
[ Intruder alarms ]Built on the PSI award-winning Pyronix Enforcer V11, with door, window and motion sensors that are pet-friendly to avoid false triggers. Choose bells-only, or upgrade to 24/7 professional monitoring so a response is triggered even when you're away.
[ HD CCTV ]Sharp day-and-night cameras with motion recording you can view live from your phone, anywhere. Footage is stored locally or in the cloud, ready if you ever need it.
[ Video doorbells ]See and speak to whoever's at the door from your phone, whether you're upstairs or out of the country. A simple upgrade that catches deliveries and deters chancers.
[ Monitored response ]For full peace of mind, link your system to a 24/7 alarm receiving centre. If it's triggered, keyholders or a response service are alerted straight away, day or night.
Absolutely brilliant experience from start to finish. The qualities of the product were explained and demonstrated and we went ahead. We were delighted with the end product and the lads who done the job were friendly professional and approachable. We would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone and will do so if asked.
I loved the experience. The finished product was far beyond my expectations and the workload was quickly carried out and completed. The workers when they arrived were polite and maintained high quality standards. Further, they ensured the mess they made was cleaned up at the end of each day. Overall, I would highly recommend this service to others as the business is very professional.
Did what they said they would do and on time.

What EH30 homeowners ask before ordering: cost, old town property with no rear access, salt air, cameras and neighbours, pets, monitoring, timescales and monthly payments.
Whoever answers works on security systems for a living, so a technical question gets a technical answer. Most calls are returned the same day.
Call 0800 029 3875Both, and Kirkliston and Newton alongside them. Engineers work across the old town, Echline, Ferrymuir, Springfield, Hopetoun and the newer streets off Builyeon Road. There is no call-out fee, nothing is added for the journey, and the survey is free.
More than you might expect. Sensors go on your own doors and windows, the panel sits inside, and because everything is wireless nothing is cut into stone or shared walls. Outside, a siren box and a camera can usually be sited on the frontage or a gable without dominating the elevation, and if the property is listed or in the conservation area it is worth checking consents with the City of Edinburgh Council before anything is fixed.
It is worth allowing for. Cameras and sirens are made for outdoor mounting, and the engineer will pick a line under an eave, a soffit or a sheltered gable rather than the most exposed face of the building. Cable entries are sealed so weather cannot track back inside.
It is priced from the property. The number of external doors and ground floor windows needing sensors, the size of the house, and whether cameras, a video doorbell or 24/7 monitoring are added all matter. A flat in the old town is a much smaller job than a four-bedroom house with a garage at Echline. The quote after the survey is clear and carries no obligation. Various deposit options are available.
Common in the newer parts of the town. It usually means a camera on the rear elevation plus a wireless outdoor sensor. That sensor reads 12m across a 90 degree arc and will sound the alarm while somebody is still at the gate. Anything outside your boundary, the path included, is masked off the camera so it is never recorded.
Yes. Everyone you add as a user gets the app on their own phone, with their own login, and can arm it, unset it, see the alerts and watch live or recorded footage. There is no monthly charge for the app.
It should not. Indoor detectors are pet-friendly, which is what keeps false triggers down, and the outdoor sensor is pet immune up to 24kg. Mention the dog at the survey so the detectors are positioned to suit.
A bells-only alarm sounds the siren and pushes an alert to your phone, and in a busy street that is often enough. If the house is empty a lot, the system can report to an alarm receiving centre staffed 24 hours a day, so keyholders or a response service are contacted the moment it triggers. Both are explained at the survey.
A day for most alarms, one to two where cameras go in at the same time. Ahead of that, allow roughly 2 to 4 weeks from signing off the design while the equipment is ordered and a date is set. Everything is tested and the app is running before the engineer leaves.
