A security system installation typically includes several features designed to protect your home and provide peace of mind. All functions of any security system we install are fully customisable so that it serves its purpose without causing undue ‘false alarms’. Features can include:
Alarm System: An alarm system is a core component of a security installation. It includes sensors placed on doors, windows, and other entry points that trigger an alarm if breached. Modern alarm systems often include loud sirens to deter intruders and alert occupants.
Security Cameras: Security cameras provide visual surveillance of your property, allowing you to monitor activity in and around your home. Cameras may be placed indoors and outdoors and can provide live video feeds and recordings accessible remotely via a smartphone or computer.
Motion Sensors: Motion sensors detect movement within a specified area and can trigger alarms or activate cameras when motion is detected. They are commonly used to detect intruders and can be installed indoors and outdoors.
Door and Window Sensors: Door and window sensors consist of two components—one attached to the door or window frame and the other to the door or window itself. They detect when a door or window is opened or closed, triggering the alarm system if breached.
Keyless Entry Systems: Keyless entry systems, such as smart locks, allow you to lock and unlock doors remotely using a smartphone app or keypad code. They provide added security and convenience by eliminating the need for physical keys.
Monitoring Services: Many security systems offer professional monitoring services, where trained operators monitor your home’s security 24/7. If an alarm is triggered, the monitoring centre can dispatch emergency services as needed.
Remote Access: Remote access allows you to control and monitor your security system from anywhere using a smartphone or computer. You can arm or disarm the system, view live video feeds, receive alerts, and more.
Integration with Smart Home Devices: Security systems may integrate with other smart home devices, such as smart lights, thermostats, and voice assistants. Integration allows for automated actions based on security events and enhances overall convenience and control.
Environmental Monitoring: Some security systems include sensors to monitor environmental conditions such as smoke, carbon monoxide, and flooding. These sensors can alert you to potential hazards, allowing for a quick response to mitigate damage and protect occupants.
Mobile Alerts and Notifications: Security systems can send mobile alerts and notifications to keep you informed of security events in real-time. You can receive alerts for alarms, motion detections, door/window openings, and other activities.
These are just a few of the features commonly found in security system installations. The specific features included in your security system will depend on your needs, preferences, and the capabilities of the system you choose.
David FrancisWe had an existing Lutron lighting system that needed upgrading that was 10+ years old. Jeevan at Carbon came over after finding them on google to assess our current system. We were offered a couple of different options, a partial upgrade or a complete upgrade, and both options were excellently explained in terms even I could understand. We decided to go with the complete upgrade, great work guys. Smart lighting at it's best! 😁Tony HurseyWe were recommended Carbon Integration for our home cinema project & control 4. On-site, Jeevan has been a pleasure to deal with and his entire team works diligently to get the job done. Everything is left incredibly clean and presentable after work has been carried out. We had some initial back and forth around designs but I’m glad we listened to the team’s recommendations in the end. I’d highly recommend these guys!Chris IsaacsonWorking with Carbon Integration has been a pleasure. They are all so accommodating and professional, offering brilliant advice and smart home maintenance. We have had work carried out by them since 2015 and carried on having small bits of work here and there, and they've always been at the end of a phone to help.Liam StockleyOur main contractor initially brought Carbon to advise on our project in Gerrards Cross. They installed a Control4 system to control the whole home. It is so nice not to have a million and one remotes to control different items and one system that can control them all. I highly recommend the guys over at Carbon; working with them has felt like a real collaboration from start to finish. Thanks, Indi!Ambrosial LondonI wasn't sure about all the work my husband wanted to have done on a media room, but I have to admit it was well worth it! Watching movies at home now is better than going to the cinema! Brilliant work, guys. Thanks so much.Ben JonesSmart installed a multi-room video and audio system for us.

Turned out to be fabulous! They totally changed our initial lighting plans for the better. Installed a Gira KNX system with some fancy light switches and app. The guys are fantastic and are always on hand with any issues or upgrades. I highly recommend them.Hugh VilliersTop people - Always busy so they can take time to get to your issue but once there it is solved.

Having a security system installation offers several benefits:
Deterrence of Crime:
One of the primary benefits of a security system is its ability to deter criminals. Visible security cameras, motion sensors, and alarm systems act as a deterrent, making your home less attractive to potential burglars or intruders.
Protection of Property:
A security system helps protect your home and belongings from theft, vandalism, and other crimes. In the event of a break-in or unauthorised entry, the alarm system can alert you and authorities, increasing the chances of apprehending the intruder and recovering stolen property.
Remote Monitoring:
Many modern security systems offer remote monitoring capabilities, allowing you to keep an eye on your home from anywhere using a smartphone or computer. Remote monitoring provides peace of mind, especially when you’re away from home for extended periods.
Emergency Response:
In the event of a security breach, a monitored security system can automatically alert emergency services, such as the police or fire department. This ensures a prompt response to emergencies, potentially minimizing property damage and protecting lives.
Insurance Benefits:
Installing a security system may lower your home insurance premiums. Insurance companies often offer discounts to homeowners with security systems because they are less likely to file claims for theft or property damage.
Integration with Smart Home Devices:
Many modern security systems integrate with smart home devices, allowing you to control and monitor your security system alongside other smart home features. Integration with smart locks, lighting, and thermostats enhances security and convenience.
Peace of Mind:
Perhaps the most significant benefit of a security system is the peace of mind it provides. Knowing that your home is protected by a reliable security system allows you to feel safe and secure, whether you’re at home or away.
Overall, investing in a security system installation provides comprehensive protection for your home, belongings, and loved ones, offering peace of mind and deterring potential threats. Whether you’re looking to prevent crime, monitor your home remotely, or enhance your overall sense of security, a security system is a valuable addition to any home.
