House Alarms
in Thurso,
made for a hard coast.

Caithness addresses are ones we can quote for, Thurso and Scrabster included. Send us the postcode, and we will go through what is involved for that property and agree a date for the survey. The survey and the quote cost you nothing either way.

It is made for outdoor mounting, and siting matters as much as the hardware. The engineer looks for a line under an eave, a soffit or a sheltered gable rather than the most exposed elevation, and cable entries are sealed so weather cannot track back inside the wall.

That is exactly why we fit cameras that keep full colour after dark rather than switching to infrared grey. Colour is what lets you describe a jacket or a vehicle. Recording starts on movement, and alerts can be set to people and vehicles so the phone is not going off at every gust and every cat.

It often does. Where one person is away for long stretches, the useful thing is that both of you see the same information: every user you add gets the app on their own phone and can check the cameras, take the alerts and set or unset the alarm. Some households go further and have the system report to an alarm receiving centre staffed 24 hours a day, so a trigger is acted on whether or not anybody at home is in a position to deal with it.

Yes. A camera can look along whatever route somebody would take to reach it, and the cable run for power and data is measured at the survey and included in the quote. For detection, the wireless outdoor sensor reads 12m across a 90 degree arc and is pet immune up to 24kg, which suits a yard or a gate.

Not much. Panel, keypad, door contacts, movement detectors and the outside siren all talk to each other wirelessly, and the siren has a 300m transmission range, so nothing is threaded between rooms. Cameras are the exception since they are cabled, and those routes are agreed with you first.

The property. How many doors and ground floor windows want a sensor, whether outbuildings are included, and whether you add cameras, a video doorbell or 24/7 monitoring. A flat in the town is a far smaller job than a house with a steading and a yard. There is no charge for the survey and no obligation attached to the quote. Various deposit options are available.

Then say so when the engineer calls. Indoor detectors are pet-friendly, which keeps false triggers down, and the outdoor sensor ignores animals up to 24kg, so the layout is set around the dog rather than against it.

On a recorder inside the house, usually holding 30 to 60 days on a loop depending on the number of cameras. Local recording and the app cost nothing monthly. Encrypted cloud backup can be added for a small monthly fee if you want a copy held off the premises.
