Products & Services Intruder Alarms

Our portfolio delivers a complete range of security systems, utilising the highest quality products and services to provide cost effective solutions.

Every intruder alarm system, whether audible only or monitored, is custom designed to meet the requirements of each individual site whilst maximising security.

An expertly designed and customised intruder alarm system provides reliable and easy to use site security with the option of incorporating remote monitoring. Using sophisticated and high quality equipment, including UK manufactured control panels, we ensure maximum performance in a future-proof system.

Our systems are specified to suit the application, security level, notification options and response requirements of your site as well as any insurance needs with zoned configurations, multiple user systems and system activity logs included as standard.

All information generated by your alarm can be monitored through the GBSG Cloud to notify you of who set/unset the alarm, the set/unset times and the detector that triggered in the event of alarm activation.

The system can also be integrated with other solutions and configured to provide cost effective alerts for fire detection, temperature change, boiler

lockouts or failure of utility supplies. Alerts can be directed via your chosen method including SMS text messaging or email for both emergency and daily reporting.

Notifications can be achieved via a number of paths including telephone landline, cellular (GPRS/GSM), IP or a combination of all to provide secure and robust signalling. Upon receiving a signal at the ARC, our operators make decisions regarding the security level and response required in accordance to pre-defined procedures.

The result is long term performance and increased security with assured police response and insurance compliance, delivered by our friendly, professional and technically expert staff.

Using sophisticated and high quality equipment we ensure maximum performance in a future-proof system.

Addressing fire risks demands specialist skills and knowledge to help you comply with the increasing burden of legislation. We will design the best solution for your site by considering everything from exit routes and building structure to equipment and technology. Our solution will ensure coverage, detection and response to meet your needs, as well as

satisfying the demands of insurers and fire authorities.

A well designed fire alarm system will ensure early detection, maximise time for escape and minimise damage to buildings and assets. Cause and effect allows integration with other systems and services to enable controlled access doors to be opened, utility services to be shut down and equipment controlled – such as lifts returning to the ground floor or fire shutters automatically closing.

The functionality of any fire system can be expanded with the integration of CCTV to determine the cause of activation and check the site. The temperature control technology found within fire alarm systems can also be extended to monitor temperature controlled areas, such as food storage, to activate plant management resources in the event of change.

Every installation, and all maintenance, is undertaken by our own fully qualified, industry trained engineers and by drawing upon the support of our 24/7 monitoring centre through the GBSG Cloud, we can manage many functions for you, further reducing the impact of fire.

Utilising the very latest technological advancements, GBSG have been installing state of the art standalone and fully monitored CCTV systems for over 30 years, preventing crime, aiding prosecution and providing an invaluable management resource.

Having worked with a wide range of companies, across many different sectors, our expert knowledge and experience can be applied to ensure that we design and install a CCTV system that is the perfect solution for your individual site.

This can include utilising the GBSG Cloud to monitor a site perimeter with sophisticated movement detection software for real-time crime prevention, video verified access control, tracking transport movements or simply as a locally recorded passive deterrent to internal and external crime. Access to information and alerts can also be granted via your smartphone.

CCTV is also cutting management and insurance costs, with many companies using camera-based production line monitoring or to maintain a record of working practice for health and safety purposes. For high resolution imagery, we are at the leading edge in our development and implementation of IP based systems, although analogue

remains the preferred option for simple surveillance.

The GBSG Cloud enables the seamless integration of multiple systems and services including intruder, fire and access control to provide you with an optimal security solution, whether you need a simple, single product system or a highly sophisticated multi-platform solution.

Fire Alarms CCTVEvery fire alarm system is designed to maximise personal safety and asset protection as well as minimise business interruption.

Every CCTV system is custom designed in accordance to NSI and British Standards to maximise the solution for each individual site to provide both security and management control.

We will design the best solution for your site by considering everything from exit routes and building structure to equipment and technology.

For high resolution imagery, we are at the leading edge in our development and implementation of IP based systems.

The benefits come from the potential to deliver a complete site management system – managing, monitoring and controlling activity through every gate, barrier or door, and the ability to track

people movements to provide roll call or personnel time and attendance management.

Solutions range from audio and video intercom through proximity tags and swipe

cards to biometrics, which use fingerprint and facial recognition software. Each solution can be

configured to match the precise demands of your site, using PC based, intercom or remote systems.

Doors can be programmed by user level or time zone, enabling some doors to be open for customers during the day but locked down out-of-hours; whilst high risk or controlled zones can be kept locked round the clock, with access only permitted by a valid tag, so guarding valuable or confidential assets or boosting health and safety risk management. Doors can also be programmed to activate an alarm, if left open.

Access control is ideal for high value and/or high risk sites, where it can help to cut the cost of manned guarding and today’s sophisticated systems can incorporate control of people and vehicles over multiple exits or multiple sites. It also opens the way to remote access management by our monitoring centre, both in and out of hours through the GBSG Cloud, further reducing the need for onsite guarding.

Integration through the GBSG Cloud with other security systems opens the way to further solutions including the use of CCTV and vehicle registration software to enable automatic access through controlled barriers by approved vehicles; or linking in to provide full building management with remote control of lights, heating, cooling, electricity or even music.

Every manned resource solution is custom designed to maximise security for your individual site. As well as being a powerful visual deterrent against crime, each of our experienced personnel will deliver operational support to match your business and security management needs.

Security Guards are your onsite protection, whether out of hours or around the clock, handling front of house and back office functions to suit you and your business. This can include access control, system monitoring, general site management, first aid and administration duties, as well as helping to reduce the fear of crime through their presence.

Mobile Patrols can carry out routine site checks as well as attending when security or safety is compromised, delivering their expert knowledge in unexpected situations. All their activity is fully tracked through our electronic monitoring systems so you know exactly what happens and when.

Keyholding Services can remove the worry and hassle in dealing with out-of-hours response for intruder alarm resets and other checks, as well as delivering a guaranteed fast response. On duty round the clock, our keyholders also know what to look for

to ensure site safety as well as how to ensure their own safety.

Our 24/7, fully approved monitoring centre provides our field staff with fast support and backup. Every guarding solution comes complete with a dedicated account manager who will undertake regular security reviews and provide comprehensive reporting, including electronic patrol data.

Access Control Guarding ServicesElectronic access control opens the way to a complete personnel and vehicle movement solution with controlled doors, gates, barriers, bollards and turnstiles.

All guarding services are completed by a dedicated team who are trained to protect your people, your business and your assets through bespoke guarding and resourcing solutions.

Solutions range from audio and video intercom through proximity tags and swipe cards to biometrics.

Every manned resource solution is custom designed to maximise security for your individual site.

TransportWell-planned security investments for transport and logistics companies can drive payback, not only in terms of loss prevention, but also by enhancing supply chain performance. Whether you’re operating a small transport yard or a multi-functional fully automated distribution centre, we can show you how to benefit from leading edge developments in security to help reduce resources, cut losses and streamline site management.

Market SectorsWe work with companies large and small - retail, industrial, service and public sector - and we know how to swiftly understand your business and your security needs.

We have developed an extensive understanding of many different sectors, allowing us to provide customers in those markets with an informed view on the specific issues they face and we have the ability to provide a tailored service.

AgricultureElectronic security technology is a vital tool in keeping agricultural sites safe and high value equipment protected. We work with traditional farmers through to specialist horticulturalists to protect isolated equipment sites and sensitive production areas, with systems that include internal and external intruder functions, remotely monitored CCTV and access control. Internally, site management and monitoring controls temperatures and fire systems, and protects against food chain sabotage.

ConstructionAs well as protecting your business premises through our intruder, CCTV, access control and fire systems, we also have a simple solution to protect your plant and equipment on temporary sites. Our visual verification external intruder detection system is a fast-install monitored CCTV solution which can be simply and easily transferred to new sites as necessary. This helps to reduce health and safety risks, as well as protecting against vandalism and theft from compounds.

EducationSecurity has never been more important as schools and colleges face disruption caused by vandalism, arson attacks and theft combined with a heightened need for access control. As specialists in the education sector, we ensure that you comply with your mandatory responsibilities, but also look for ways to help you reduce demands on hard pressed resources, and streamline site management.

Food ProcessingWe understand how the food and drink sector operates and the need to comply with the strict operating requirements of supermarkets and other customers within a controlled environment, whether picking a cabbage, packing a ready meal, or at the logistics stage of the supply chain. As experts within this sector, we are used to designing and installing systems which are capable of operating within very demanding environments, including sub-zero temperatures.

HealthcareThe security challenge for healthcare has never been higher. High value equipment and controlled drugs must be protected from theft and vandalism, and both staff and visitors must be protected from abuse and personal attack, whilst retaining freedom of movement. Our solutions range from manned site security and perimeter protection to access control and vandal-resistant cameras. We have also developed a sophisticated video technology training solution to improve the consulting skills of trainee GPs in the surgeries.

ManufacturingSecurity systems can play a vital role in helping to keep manufacturing sites working around the clock. As well as protecting property, a modern system can help to manage plant operation and control risks. Cameras can monitor a fire in a forge through the use of thermal imaging cameras; access control can restrict personnel movement; proximity systems can restrict machinery usage to authorised operators and CCTV can enable remote observation to ensure correct, safe operation.

Professional ServicesIf you’re a business professional, you want to be free to concentrate on delivering exceptional service to your customers, without worrying about how you can control access to confidential client information, or how to protect your high value investment in office technology. We can take responsibility for security red tape, including fire regulation, and devise solutions using the right mix of access control, intruder protection and CCTV to let you concentrate on what you do best.

RetailFrom a basic intruder alarm system, through to an EPOS-linked, fully integrated, multi-function security management solution, we know how to help retailers large and small protect profits, maintain margins and match up to the latest legislation. Our solutions include intruder, fire and smoke detection through CCTV, remote monitoring and guarding patrols, to product tagging. Action in-store by staff or equipment can trigger reports or alerts, or initiate recording, enabling you to check staff and guard against wastage.

How it works

GBSG Cloud

Whether you need a simple, single product system, or a highly sophisticated multi-platform solution, the GBSG Cloud is the hub through which all communication and alerts are processed - between systems, sites and personnel.

It’s been developed through major investment, giving you the key to higher level security system management and faster response times - whether transmitting directly to your designated personnel, or through our 24/7 ARC Gold approved monitoring centre team.

Through every second of every day, its checking to see if your systems are fully functional; whether telephone lines are live; and whether

automatic operations or personnel-initiated functions have taken place. If anything fails, the alert will immediately be presented to one of our trained operators.

Innovations include real-time communication through a direct connection to the GBSG Cloud, via a handheld smart device. It also enables GPS tracking of our engineers, to speed up our call-out response.

Where you have more than one security product, we make sure every part works together - through shared system infrastructure, cabling and routing - all backed up by our cloud technology. This allows for greater automation and increased functionality, speeding up risk alerts

and simplifying operations, whilst also cutting costs.

You can feel the benefit whether it’s simply pairing your intruder and fire alarms, or a sophisticated integration of security, site and personnel management functions through combined intruder, fire, CCTV, access control systems and manned guarding.

Whatever stage your system is at, we make sure it’s future-proof, designing solutions that can meet the needs of today, but able to grow to match your business needs tomorrow.

The benefit for you is complete security, one service supplier, protected by one GBSG Cloud.

The GBSG Cloud is the technology that lies at the heart of all our installed products and support services, enabling us to optimise your security system.

Automatic Actions Site MonitoringPerimeter Alarm CCTV

Perimeter protection at your lock-up compound includes movement detection. When an intruder activates the system, the CCTV system instantly sends live and alarmed images to the GBSG monitoring centre, where operators can use the tannoy to give a verbal warning and elevate the response to police alert if necessary.

Example 2: Plant Operation and Reporting

Remote Access

Before leaving site, your drivers must connect to our remote monitoring centre through an intercom system. We activate the weighbridge, record the tonnage, generate a print off for the driver to take and then lift the exit barrier. All transport movements are covered in a daily report to your mobile and desktop.

CommunicationCommunication links between your site and the GBSG Cloud can be made via broadband, 3G/GPRS mobile or PSTN/ISDN connections. Using two methods of connection provides very high resilience.
