Security Systems

Professional intruder alarm and security system installation for homes and businesses across Essex and London. Domestic and commercial systems with app control, remote monitoring and early detection.

Overview

Protecting your property from intruders

Protecting your home or business from intruders is a top priority for any responsible property owner. With the increase in crime rates across London and Essex, it's essential to invest in an effective alarm system that provides peace of mind and ensures your property's safety.

Burglars and intruders can cause physical harm, steal valuable items and damage your property, leading to financial losses and emotional distress. Being a victim of a break-in can shatter your sense of security and leave you feeling vulnerable. Finding an alarm installation company near you that you can trust is extremely important — being local and on hand to deal with any issues means your security is always working right.

Our Approach

Early detection, not just reaction

At Charged Services we design alarm systems with the priority being early warning and detection. Having your alarm system trigger before a break-in occurs is the most effective way of protecting your property. If your intruder system is only internal, it becomes solely reactive — a break-in has already occurred by the time it is triggered.

We also remote-manage our customers' alarm systems, so we are always informed of any system issues and can deal with them early rather than leaving your property unprotected. Choosing an alarm installer in Essex or your local area makes a big difference when it comes to servicing and response times.

Domestic & Commercial

Different needs, different designs

Domestic and commercial alarm systems have fundamentally different purposes. As a homeowner, you are the person who cares most about your property and its contents — if your alarm triggers, you want alerts sent directly to you. A false alarm or early notification might prevent a break-in from occurring, and you'll be happy to receive it.

Commercial alarm systems, on the other hand, may need to be set by employees who won't receive alerts if a break-in occurs. They need to be configured in a specific way — ensuring doors and windows are closed before arming — and you may need an insurance-approved alarm response company to receive alerts on your behalf. In that case, the system must meet particular design standards which differ from a domestic installation focused on user convenience.

Why Install an Alarm

The benefits of an intruder alarm

An intruder alarm is one of the most effective ways to protect your property. Here's what a professionally installed system delivers.

Deters Burglars

A visible alarm system acts as a deterrent to potential burglars. Most will avoid properties with security systems, as they don't want to risk getting caught.

Early Warning

An intruder alarm alerts you and the authorities immediately when an intrusion occurs, giving you time to react and take appropriate action.

Reduces Losses

By alerting you and the authorities promptly, the chances of catching intruders or scaring them off early increase significantly, minimising what's stolen or damaged.

Peace of Mind

Know that your property and family are protected around the clock. Sleep soundly and enjoy time away without worrying about break-ins.

App Control

All our domestic systems come with phone app control as standard, letting you arm, disarm and monitor your alarm from anywhere.

Remote Monitoring

We remotely manage our customers' alarm systems, so we're always informed of any issues and can resolve them before your property is left unprotected.
