Verkada Gold Partner · part of SEG Core — cameras, access control, intercom, alarms and sensors, installed by our own engineers.
Home / Alarms

An alarm that shows you what set it off.

Intrusion detection on the same platform as the cameras, so an activation arrives with the footage attached instead of as a phone call telling you nothing.

What you get

Verified, not guessed

The problem with a conventional alarm is that nobody knows whether it is a burglar or a curtain. Video verification turns a 3am decision into something you can look at.

The full sensor set

Door and window contacts, motion sensors, glass break, panic buttons, keypads and sirens.

  • Wired and wireless devices
  • Panic and duress options
  • Keypad or app arming
  • Zones per area or floor

Video verification

The activation and the camera covering it arrive together, so you or a monitoring centre can see what happened.

  • Clip attached to the alert
  • Cuts false call-outs
  • Faster police response where verified
  • Full history in the console

Arming that fits the building

Schedules, part-arming and per-zone rules, so the cleaners at six do not trigger the same response as a forced door at two.

  • Automatic arm and disarm
  • Part-arm by area
  • Holiday and term-time schedules
  • Alerts to a rota, not one phone
How it works

How an install runs

Sensor placement is the whole job. Everything else is wiring.

1

Survey

Every entry point and every route through the building, plus what moves at night that should not set anything off.

2

Design

A zone plan, device schedule and arming regime, agreed with whoever will actually be arming it.

3

Install and commission

Devices fitted and walk-tested zone by zone, with the cameras paired to the zones they cover.

4

Handover

Codes and rotas set, your team trained, and the escalation path written down rather than assumed.

The hardware

Keypad, sensors, sirens — and the clip that comes with the alert

The BK22 keypad is what your team touches; behind it sit the wireless panel, contacts, motion and glass-break sensors, and the sirens. The verification is what stops an activation being a guess.

Beyond the panel

The rest of the alarm story

Duress buttons where they can be reached, panels installed and wired properly by our own engineers, and sounders outside where they change behaviour.

Why us

What makes this different

Paired with the cameras from day one

An alarm you cannot verify is an alarm people learn to ignore. Every zone is paired to the camera that covers it.

Walk-tested, not just powered up

Every sensor is walked and proved on handover, and the false-alarm sources are found then rather than in week three.

Monitoring if you want it, not by default

Professional monitoring is available and is sometimes the right answer. We will tell you when self-monitoring is enough.

The same console as everything else

One place for cameras, doors and alarms means one set of users, one audit trail and one number to call.

FAQ

Common questions

Can it be professionally monitored?
Yes. Verkada offers monitored response, and with video verification a monitoring centre can see the activation rather than dispatch blind. We will set out what it costs against self-monitoring.
Will it replace our existing alarm?
Usually, and honestly it should if the point is having one platform. If your current system is new or under contract, we will say so and design around it for now.
What about false alarms?
Video verification is the main defence — you look before anyone reacts. The rest is sensor placement, which is why the survey matters more than the kit.
Does it work in a power cut?
Devices have battery backup and the system reports the outage rather than going quiet. How long it holds is a design decision we will size with you.
