Using tried and tested technology we can provide alarm systems that can form the centre of your home automation system.

Useful features of this system include:

• Setting burglar alarm starts 'simulated occupancy' - switching on lights, closing curtains, etc.
• Exterior PIR's can trigger exterior and interior lights
• 8 mail box answer phone, plays back messages via the keypad when you un-set the system
• Door entry system that calls your normal phone and allows you to talk to the caller
• Door entry system calls your mobile if the alarm is set allowing you to talk to the caller even if you're out of the country
• Setting the alarm closes all motorised roof windows
• Motorised blinds / curtains close at dusk or when someone approaches the house, useful for houses with large windows
• 5 minute smoke detector bypass switch in the kitchen (one less annoyance when you burn the toast!)
• Intruder alarm activation can flash lights to attract attention
• Smoke alarm activation can light exit routes automatically
• Full two way integration with the lighting system enables lighting touch panels to act as alarm key pads
• Automatic reduction in room temperature when the alarm is set to save energy

Integration with Dynalite and KNX is extensive; offering simulated occupancy and automation. KNX integration extends to heating as well as lighting, for example the heating can be set back automatically when the alarm is set. Comfort alarm systems offer cost effective whole house control.

Security can be further enhanced by adding a CCTV system, this can show the garden or drive way on any TV in the house or via a web browser on a networked PC. You can check who's at the door from the living room or the other side of the world!

With a broadband connection you can check the status of your house from anywhere in the world! If you travel a lot imagine being able to see your family on your laptop whilst talking to them on the phone? Digital Video Recorders can be fitted that record a CCTV image when a PIR is triggered capture an intruder 'on film'
