Nigel, from Solo Security has just given a very interesting 10 minute presentation on his business. The key fact I gleaned from the session is they are able to beat the charges of the national companies by up to 50% each year - a message I would have thought would be particularly resonant in the current economic climate.

Nigel provided us with the Solo Security Company Profile:

We are a Merseyside based Company, having been established for 37 years and specialise in the supply and installation of quality security systems s briefly described below.

Intruder Alarm Systems

We supply, install and maintain systems from the simplest ‘bells only’ for single residential units to multi zone monitored alarm systems for the largest commercial premises.

We are SSAIB Approved alarm installers and UKAS Accredited which entitles us to install monitored intruder alarm systems for Police response.

We have over 400 monitored intruder alarm systems connected to our 24-hour manned NSI Approved Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) including the latest Telecom RedCARE GSM and DualCom GPRS dual path systems.

Fire Alarm Systems

We install systems of all types from manual break glass call points to automatic smoke detection systems with remote signalling to our monitored ARC.

CCTV Surveillance Systems

From simple single camera domestic systems which can be viewed on any TV receiver in the house to major multi camera systems with digital video recording for evidential purposes if required.  Our systems can be configured to be viewed over the internet via a broadband network.

We can save clients substantial amounts annually by the installation of a CCTV surveillance system which incorporates remote monitoring by our NSI / SSAIB approved RVRC (Remote Video Monitoring Centre) allowing them to dispense with manned security personel.

Premises are covered by external cameras and long range external beams around the property which, when triggered after the premises are secured for the evening, alert the RVRC who can view the entire perimeter of the building and warn off unauthorised persons on the site by means of high powered loudspeaker announcements.

Door Entry Phone, Video Entryphone and Access Control Systems

We install systems of all sizes from a domestic apartment to major blocks of apartments with over 100 occupants. We also fit proximity card access control systems for commercial and industrial applications with many hundreds of employees.

Radio Controlled Garage Doors & Gates

We have a full range of operators for all types of garage doors; both up-and-over and sliding gates and can provide radio control car park barriers.

People with Disabilities

We have developed a range of control equipment for people who need to have control over their environment, particularly people with disabilities.

Remote control is the heart of our system enabling equipment to be operated simply by pressing a button on a small hand held transmitter.

Our range includes entry phones and intercoms with totally hands free operation, radio controlled door openers, appliance controllers and curtain pullers.

Nurse / Warden Call Systems

We install fully comprehensive systems for residential and nursing homes.

Physical Security

We work closely with several other local specialist firms with whom we have built up excellent trading relationships and can offer you full survey and quotation facilities for locks, safes, grills and roller shutters.

Paging and Public Address Systems

We offer a full design and installation service for public address and background music systems

Leasing

All of our systems can be leased (subject to status) which eases your needs because it enables you to buy the best possible equipment whilst preserving your working capital to meet the short terms needs of your business or organisation.

We hope that when you are considering the installation of any of the above systems, you will allow us the opportunity to provide you with a no-obligation quotation.
