CAMS Fire & Security

At CAMS, we have been providing comprehensive security solutions for over two decades. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to delivering high-quality services that cater to our clients' unique needs. We understand the importance of security and the impact it has on our clients' lives and businesses. Therefore, we strive to provide systems that are reliable, efficient, and tailored to meet their specific requirements.

Our services range from intruder alarm systems to CCTV, fire alarms, access control, door entry, nurse and warden call systems, and staff attack systems. Each system is designed to meet the client's needs and satisfy their insurer's requirements by specifying British and European standards. We use state-of-the-art technology to ensure that our systems are up-to-date and effective in providing the required level of security.

We also offer comprehensive monitoring services through our Alarm Receiving Centre, which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our team of trained operatives is certificated to BS 5979, ensuring that our clients receive the highest level of service and response in case of an emergency.

Intruder Alarm Systems

Our intruder alarm systems are designed to meet customers' needs and satisfy their insurers' requirements by specifying British and European standards. These systems can be as basic or complex as the application justifies. Monitoring of the system may be by dialer for contact with key-holders or to an alarm receiving centre using either a digital communicator, a monitored telephone technique such as RedCARE, or with dual path signalling using a combination of telephone line and cellular (GSM) technologies. Detection devices are chosen for their reliability and correct application to minimize false alarms.

CCTV Systems

Our CCTV systems offer a range of solutions that cater to different applications. Cameras are specified to be external or internal, fixed or pan, tilt & Zoom (PTZ). They can be clearly seen to act as a deterrent or discreet, maintaining a low profile security for visitors and staff. Recording may be on-site using hard disk storage and/or off-site by an approved manned guarding security organisation. Whole areas can be viewed at the same time in the safety of a secure room. CCTV systems can be used to either substantially reduce the amount of guarding or totally eliminate their requirement, making huge savings in the security budget.

Access Control

Our access control systems are designed to control doors remotely by a pre-programmed electronic system. They can be used in a range of applications, from controlling a single door to controlling multiple doors connected to a computer system on-line. The system is designed in a modular format, allowing your security to grow with your organisation or needs. A combination of external and internal doors can be controlled. Individual staff can be given authority to access certain doors but not others and differently within pre-specified time bands. Readers may use proximity, PIN, smart card, biometric, or a combination of some or all technologies. The access control system can be integrated with other systems including door entry, CCTV, and fire alarms.

Door Entry

Our door entry systems are designed for controlling a range of entrance doors, including blocks of flats, care homes, or commercial premises. They offer audio two-way communication with the external entrance door panel, and by adding video, viewing the visitor prior to opening the door. The door may then be released by pressing a button on the system telephone handset. We ensure that our door entry systems comply with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), if required. Access control facility can be added to the system for residents or staff.

Fire Alarms

Our fire alarm systems are designed to L1 or L2 for protection of life or P1, 2, 3, or 4 for automatic fire detection, protecting both life and property. These systems can be designed for analogue control panels or fully addressable. Full cause and effects requirements are interfaced and programmed. Monitoring is provided by an approved Alarm Receiving Centre, who will notify key-holders and the fire brigade. A range of detection devices is available to suit the application, including heat, smoke, or a combination of both. Smoke beams and flame detectors are also available. Warnings of fire may be given by sounders, beacons, or voice annunciation, depending on the application and requirements of DDA.

Fire Extinguishers

We specify and supply fire extinguishers with signage, including portable or fixed extinguishing systems linked to fire alarms. Training in the use of extinguishers is offered on your premises or in our training room.

Nurse/Warden Call Systems

Our nurse/warden call systems provide a reliable means of communication between residents/patients with staff, giving confidence that the correct level of response is given to a call.

Pagers Monitoring of Systems

A vital link between the monitored premises, the key-holder, and emergency services. Our Alarm Receiving Centre operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and is manned to BS 5979. Our operatives are certificated, ensuring that our clients receive the highest level of service and response in case of an emergency.

Complementary Systems

We offer a range of complementary systems, including refuge systems, disabled toilet alarms, staff attack systems, induction loop systems, water detection systems, and emergency lighting. Our service and maintenance team is dedicated to ensuring that all systems are regularly serviced and maintained to recognised standards.
