Hello all,

 

Not employed in the industry, but about to start operating a commercial photography studio with various

high-end assets to protect, as well as a gallery containing various originals from a few big-names. In the process

of working alongside an alarm company to specify a suitable system. Had some good (some terrible) experiences

with a few alarm companies, both large and small, and realised it would be useful to educate myself about the

fundamentals/basics of alarm and surveillance systems.

 

I'm not the type to meddle/tamper-around with electrics or attempt self-installs, I leave that to you-pros (and quite

right too) so I'm more of a nosey by-stander.

 

Really enjoying this process and starting to get the 'security-bug' if I'm honest. Will be a bit disappointed when the

installation is complete as my evenings glued to security retailers websites, deciding between a tampered or

untampered magnetic contact or sourcing confirmed panic buttons, will have to be replaced with 'talking to people'....Sad huh? 

 

Honey-Well

 

 

 

Hi and welcome

Hi

 

Dont think you will have a choice on that one.

 

You would be best finding out what your insurance companies requirements are before you do anything.

Don't great minds think alike. My installer was advising on gradings today. Still waiting to here from the insurers about their cover. Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome ! I'm a newbie in here also and I'd like to say hello to all .

Hi and welcome,

 

The most important thing is to check what your insurance wants, they will dictate which security grade you will need/ can have to be covered. (there is an echo in here).

 

The higher the risk the higher the grade of system you need.
