Intruder Alarm Systems

Intruder alarms are widely accepted as an effective deterrent for burglars; they provide a useful warning and limit theft and damage to premises.

BSI’s standards and publications give recommendations on the installation, maintenance and management of intruder and hold-up alarm systems. There is also guidance on minimizing the incidence of false alarms.
