Intruder Alarms




Reid Security can provide intruder detection systems tailored to suit your requirements...
From small homes to large commercial premises, we will install a tailored system to suit your budget and security requirements.
Wired systems:
Wired intruder alarms are the most common type of system in Ireland and if you have the option of wiring, such as during a new build or renovation, we would recommend this as wired systems are significantly cheaper than the wireless equivalent.
Wireless:
Wireless systems are used where running cables isn't an option such as finished buildings or some large factories and warehouses etc. We offer fully wireless systems, not one single wire has to be run, this is so quick and easy to install that your home or business could be fully secured in just a couple of hours.
Combined Wired/Wireless Systems:
Combined systems allow you to use wireless detectors in some areas and wired in others, very useful in older buildings where some areas cannot be disturbed by drilling etc.
Integration:
Because we specialise in system integration we can easily enable your intruder alarm to become a home automation system, switching on lights and heating, opening /closing gates, basically anything that has a switch in your home or business can be controlled by text. This is very useful for presence simulation, if you're away on holidays lights can be turned on and off by text to deter burglars.
SMS Text Alert:
All our systems can be programmed to text your mobile if there is an alarm activation, the text will tell you what zone was activated, what time and which user unset the system.
24hr Monitoring:
All our systems can be connected to a central monitoring station who are on guard 24 hours a day/365 days a year, if your alarm is activated they will contact you, your key-holders and the Gardai if necessary.
Service and Maintenance:
Maintenance of your system is very important, even the very best security systems will deteriorate without proper maintenance, so regular servicing is recommended to ensure full protection. Reid Security offers annual servicing and 24hr emergency service on all our systems.

CCTV





CCTV is a very important link in your security system...
As such, there are many considerations to be taken into account when designing a suitable system. CCTV cameras can be overt to act as a deterrent to vandalism and anti-social behaviour or covert to act as an evidence gathering system to assist with identification and prosecutions. This is why it is very important to use only high quality cameras and DVRs to ensure crystal clear images are recorded.
Reid Security caters for both residential and commercial CCTV clients and will design and install the ideal system for your requirements. You can contact us at any time to avail of our security survey service.
All our systems come with many built-in features such as...
Remote Viewing:
View live and recorded footage of your premises from any PC in the world.
GSM Viewing:
View live and recorded footage of your premises from your smart phone.
Hard-drive Back-up:
Months of HD quality footage can be stored in our DVRs, all of our systems are fully automatic so discs or hard-drives dont need to be cleared or changed.
DVD Writer:
All footage can be transferred to DVD at the touch of a button.
Covert Cameras:
CCTV cameras and microphones can be hidden in everyday items such as smoke detectors, light fittings and picture frames. This can be very useful in gathering evidence of shoplifting or theft-by-staff.
ANPR:
Automatic number plate recognition is used in carparks and areas of restricted access; the special high powered cameras record the registrations of every vehicle entering or leaving an area and can be programmed to restrict access to certain vehicles.
Monitoring:
All of our systems can be connected to a monitoring station, so you can be sure that someone is watching your premises 24hrs a day, this is especially useful on construction sites and other areas that would normally require 24hr security guard patrols. Massive annual savings can be made by installing a good quality monitored CCTV system instead of static guards.
For Your Home:
As CCTV equipment has become more and more affordable in recent years its popularity in the domestic market has increased dramatically. Homeowners can choose from basic one or two camera systems to eight or even sixteen camera systems depending on the size of the home.

Access Control




Access control allows you to decide who can enter your premises and when...
Particular parts of your building can be off limits to some staff or visitors and not to others. It can be as simple as one keypad opening one door or as complex as hundreds of doors and keypads within a building with different levels of access. Reid Security specialises in all aspects of access control and can integrate our access panels with all other security systems.
Basic Access:
A basic access system has two main components; the entry panel and magnetic door release, with many variations of both. The entry panel may require a valid pin-code, swipe card, key-fob, fingerprint or combinations of any of these to grant access.
PC Based Access Control:
In large buildings where there is a regular flow of visitors, staff from various sections and temporary staff, it can be difficult to keep track of movement and restrict access to certain areas. With a PCAC system every user gets an ID swipe card and each door is assigned an ID, you decide which doors each card can access.
Because this system is PC based, it only takes minutes to remove users or change which doors can be accessed by each user. A record of every door opening and by which user is stored in the system which is very useful in tracing a persons movement through your premises.
Gate Automation:
Motorised gates work on the same principal as all access systems; if a recognised code or key-fob is presented, the gates will open. We supply and install many types of motorised gate controls which can even be programmed to turn on driveway lighting when opened.
Intercoms:
Intercoms are a 2-way communication system that can be wired to open doors and grant access to a building. They can be audio only, or video and audio.
NOTE:
It is important to consider emergency and fire situations when designing an access system. If a fire or other emergency occurs while people are on your premises, they need to be able to exit quickly. All of our access systems are designed to be fully compliant with IS: 3217 and IS: 3218 fire and emergency lighting regulations.

Reid Security is pleased to offer a new solution to the problem of building site security...
We can install a fully wireless CCTV system that can be set up within an hour. This affordable system is connected to a monitoring station who will alert Gardai if any intruders enter the site. This equipment requires absolutely no power or phone-line and works with built in batteries and the 3G phone network.
The system works by sending a 10 second video clip directly to the monitoring centre if any motion is detected in front of the cameras. The experts in the control room can immediately view the footage and decide if it's a false alarm or a genuine intrusion, Gardai can be contacted and despatched to site immediately.
Some key benefits:
- Suitable for remote locations where it is not possible to get an electricity supply or a phone line or for construction sites where it is not viable to employ security guards.
- Batteries will last at least two years.
- It can be installed for short or long periods
- Keyholder service available if required.
- Footage emailed directly to your smart phone.
- Cameras can be installed internally and externally and can see clearly in total darkness up to eight metres.
