Home Intruder Alarm Systems

Intruder alarms are classified from Grade 1 to Grade 4. Grade 1 offers basic protection for very low-risk properties. Grade 2 is suitable for most UK homes and protects against casual or opportunistic intruders. Grade 3 is designed for higher-risk sites where intruders are expected to have more knowledge or tools. Grade 4 provides the highest level of security for premises that require maximum protection.
