Security systems in Barry since 2009
Alarms, cameras and smart locks designed around the way a burglar would actually get in, fitted by our own engineers, and kept working for years.
Your doors, windows and cameras, priced supply and fit.
A typical three-bed (2 doors, 3 windows, 2 cameras, keyholder monitoring): £1,285 fitted, £14.50 a month.
Services
A wireless alarm fitted in a day without lifting a floorboard: control panel, keypad, external siren, motion sensors and door and window contacts, set from the keypad, a fob or your phone.
From £495 fitted for a panel, keypad, siren and two motion sensors.
Four-megapixel cameras placed to catch a face at the door and a plate on the drive, a recorder that keeps thirty days, and an app on your phone. Pointed at your property, not your neighbour's.
From £630 fitted for two cameras with a recorder and the app; each further camera £185.
A wired video doorbell that does not need charging, a smart lock rated for insurance, and both on the same app as your alarm. Fitted properly, with the door checked first.
Video doorbell £149 fitted; we fit yours for £60.
Three levels: you watch it on the app, a monitoring centre rings your keyholders, or a confirmed alarm is passed to the police. What each costs, what it needs, and when it is worth it.
Self-monitored on the app, no fee.
Fob and keypad entry for shops, offices, surgeries and units: staff in, everyone else buzzed in, a lost fob cancelled in a minute, and a log of who came and went.
A single door with fob reader, lock and exit button from £1,150 fitted.
An annual service for your alarm or cameras, fault visits the same working day, and takeovers of systems whose installer has retired or stopped answering.
Annual service £95; a first visit to take over another installer's system £120.
How we design
Most break-ins in the Vale come through a back door, a patio door or a ground-floor window at the back. So the design starts there: a contact on every way in that matters, so the alarm sounds as the door opens rather than when someone is already in the lounge, then motion sensors where anyone would have to walk.
How we work
Most burglars try the back door or a ground-floor window at the back. We cover the routes in first, then the rooms, and we say where a camera would only be for show.
If an alarm is a nuisance, people stop setting it. Pet-tolerant sensors, part-set for night, and an app, so it is set every time you leave.
The written quote lists every device and the fitting. If we find we need less on the day, the price comes down. It never goes up.
A fault on a system we maintain gets an engineer the same working day, usually within four hours, and a phone call straight away.

Customers
Gareth walked round the house and the back lane with me, showed me where someone would actually get in, and fitted the alarm the next week in about five hours. The dog has not set it off once.
Two cameras rather than the six another firm quoted. The one at the door shows faces clearly at night, and they angled the drive camera so it does not look at next door. Thirty days of footage and no subscription.
Our installer retired and the alarm had been bleeping for months. Watchtower took it over, reset the codes, replaced two batteries and it has been quiet since. Clear about cost before they started.
The unit
A workshop and office rather than a shop, so ring before you call in. We work across Barry, Penarth, Dinas Powys, Sully, Rhoose, Llantwit Major, Cowbridge, Wenvoe and Cardiff West.
Directions and where we workA wireless Grade 2 alarm with panel, keypad, siren and two motion sensors is £495 fitted; contacts are £35 a door and £30 a window. Most three-bedroom houses come to £600 to £750. The kit builder works it out for your house.
Yes, with a written quote afterwards listing every device. There is no obligation and we do not sell on the doorstep.
Half a day for a typical wireless alarm, a day with cameras, two days for larger houses or wired systems. You will have the date and the engineer's name when you accept the quote.
No. An alarm or cameras on the app cost nothing a month. Monitoring by a centre is optional: £14.50 a month for keyholders, £24.50 for police response.
Usually. A first visit is £120 to reset codes, test everything and replace batteries; after that, servicing is £95 a year.
On a live site this answer would give the NSI Gold certificate number and the police URN-issuing status. This is a demonstration site and the accreditation shown is a fictional placeholder.
Gareth or one of our engineers walks the house or premises with you, then sends a written quote with every device on it within two working days. No price on the doorstep, no obligation, and Saturday mornings if weekdays are hard.
