Security systems for Edinburgh properties

  • Burglar alarms

    Intruder alarms with detectors, a keypad and a bell box, designed around the layout of your flat, house, shop or office.

  • Monitoring and police response

    Your alarm can be audible only, or monitored around the clock by SMC, our Alarm Receiving Centre. Police response is available for systems that meet Police Scotland’s requirements.

    How monitoring works
  • CCTV

    We plan each camera around what you need to see, such as faces at a shop door or vehicles in a yard, and you can watch live or recorded footage on your phone.

  • Door entry and access control

    Audio and video entry panels for tenement stairs and blocks of flats, with a handset in each flat. In offices, keypad, fob or card readers control who gets through each staff door.

Already have a system in Edinburgh?
