Secom wire-free protection into Berkeley sites

Berkeley Homes Southern has embarked on projects at Fleet, Hassocks, Horsham and Sunbury - and has selected wire-free alarm systems from Secom plc to secure show houses and sales offices at each site.

Systems will also be installed to protect all the houses prior to occupation - and to give security-conscious buyers the convenient option of a ready made solution.

The show houses are being fitted with movement sensors, door contacts and control panels wirelessly linked to a telephone dialler which automatically alerts operators at Secom's Alarm Receiving Centre if an alarm is activated.

Operators are on duty around the clock to initiate an appropriate and rapid response.

The systems also support personal attack buttons, enabling lone workers to summon help in an emergency - even if the rest of the alarm system is deactivated.

Apartment buildings will be fitted with innovative wire-free front door entry systems.

A visitor selects the apartment number on a keypad and the system uses a BT line to call the occupant's landline or mobile phone.

When the visitor's identity has been ascertained, the occupant simply hits a keypad number to release the door.

In high end apartment buildings, the system is enhanced with a video camera linked to the communal aerial.

An occupant simply selects 'AV' on any TV screen to see who is at the front door.
