CCTV Monitoring & Installation
Why should I have CCTV installed?
By installing CCTV you will be able to have your property monitored effectively 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by a professional company that specialises in providing this service.
How does CCTV work?
CCTV systems tend to vary dependant on budget but in simple terms; cameras that are linked to sensors located on your property send video alarms to our Alarm Receiving Centre. Our team of Controllers will then decide what action to take to resolve the image presented to them.
Can CCTV do more than watch my site?
Yes, you can integrate your gates, lights, doors, alarm and much more. Our Alarm Receiving Centre can operate all of these remotely to provide additional remote security.
My budget won’t stretch to the security solution that I want?
CCTV solutions can be an expensive option; with this in mind Cobra Security can offer payment solutions to ease the burden of paying for a system out right.
Cobra Site Security Beams
What are Cobra Beams?
Cobra Site Security Beam is a wireless security solution that can be installed on sites with or without a fixed power source.
How does it work?
Cobra Site Security Beams provide a secure perimeter that contacts our Alarm Receiving Centre when breached so that our Mobile Patrol Security Unit can respond accordingly to investigate further.
How do you know when it has been triggered?
A number of sensors that detect motion will be installed on the property. They are positioned specifically so that they only detect legitimate threats and not animals, falling leaves etc. The option of a high decibel siren on site to alert and deter intruders is also available.
My budget won’t stretch to the security solution that I want?
Call us to discuss your concerns and we will find the Security Solution that best suits your need and your budget.
Alarm Installation & Monitoring
How does alarm monitoring work?
Using the latest technologies, our Alarm Receiving Centre is set up to receive and monitor alarms from thousands of different premises. By receiving connections via a phone line or wireless alternative, our team of Controllers can monitor alarms effectively on a continuous basis, 365 days a year.
Why should I have an alarm installed?
If you own company premises, most insurance companies won’t pay a claim related to theft if you do not have a monitored alarm already installed. It also deters crime and alerts us when a breach is detected.
What happens if my alarm goes off and I’m not there?
Cobra Security will either contact you directly so that you can respond yourself or if you want to use our Keyholding and Alarm Response service, we can send a Mobile Patrol Security Unit to investigate further on your behalf.
