Security grades
Matched to the risk, not oversold
Intruder alarms in the UK are graded 1 to 4 under PD 6662 and BS EN 50131. The grade is set by what is being protected and how determined a burglar is likely to be. Insurers sometimes specify one.
Low risk. Rarely the right choice for a property worth protecting.
Most homes and many small shops and offices.
Most commonHigher risk commercial premises and high value homes, often an insurer requirement.
Very high risk sites. Specialist systems for specialist premises.
What gets fitted

- Control panel and keypad by the door you use, with fobs or a code.
- Movement detectors covering the routes in, chosen to ignore pets where needed.
- Door and window contacts on the ground floor and the back door.
- External siren in clear view, because a visible bell box puts people off.
- App control so you know it is set and get told if it goes off.
- Optional monitoring through an Alarm Receiving Centre.
