A multifaceted security installation is the utilisation of several security systems in one property, building a robust and all-encompassing security presence.
Following our site survey, we may recommend the installation of CCTV, intruder alarm, and access control in conjunction with each other, and bespoke to your property’s needs. With every additional system, we look to reduce the opportunity for a successful security breach.
Where one system such as an alarm would emphasis sensors and boundary infringements, CCTV focuses on visual security and protection, and access control prioritises securing the parameter and restricting entry. Each system brings its own benefits and limitations, so a combination of two or three across your property, can create an optimum security presence.

When undertaking any installation within a period property we take great care to respect the history of the building. Taking adequate time and attention to maintain the aesthetics and beauty of the property, including discreetly concealing the system, or aspects of it, within existing facades.

Ensuring appropriate secure measures are met through our safety and security provisions is ever present in the fulfilment of services within the schools sector. We provide bespoke security installations, maintenance, and monitoring contracts to several educational sites, and centres throughout the UK.
We take great pride in contributing to the security of schools and providing specialist services to improve the overall functionality of the sites for the children and its keyworkers. We recently received a response from a Headteacher from a school in Kent:
The highly professional team at Securitatem Installations have recently taken over and upgraded the school alarm system. They provided a cost-effective solution to not only meet our requirements, but also our budget. The improved technology has enabled both myself as Headteacher and the Caretaker to have a complete overview of who is coming in and out of the school (outside of school hours) as well as the ability to arm and disarm remotely, as needed. Within weeks of the installation, this proved invaluable following an issue with one of the contract cleaners over a weekend. The on-call team swiftly helped resolve the problems that had arisen and worked with us remotely to ensure the school site was secure, all without the need for anyone to attend site – a huge improvement on the previous alarm system and considerably safer and more convenient for the members of staff involved. I have been extremely impressed with the service that has been received and I cannot recommend Securitatem Installations enough.
