National Security Inspectorate (NSI)

Why Choose NSI ?

Protection your home from intruders is of paramount importance. It's not just the financial loss a break-in costs, but also the emotional impact and disruption it can have. Most of us do not consider the full impact of a break-in till its to late.

So What can you do ?

There are a number of security measures you should consider, including ensuring you have adequate physical security, such as locks, fitted. Intruder alarms not only provide a deterent but provide a warning that a intrusion is taking place. However, alarms and other electrical devices, including CCTV and access control systems, need to meet high standards of installation and be regally maintained to be effective. The only way to ensure this is to get a professionally installed electronic security system.

The type of alarm and other electronic security solutions you choose is very important. However, if you want it to be effective and meet the requirements of your insurer or the police, it is important that the systems is installed and maintained in accordance with the required standards by a competent installation company, such as those approved by NSI. Many companies or individuals will tell you they can install an alarm, often cheaply, but are they:

• capable of meeting the standards of workmanship and service you would expect? 
• properly security vetting all relevant staff to British Standards? 
• operating a 24 hour call out service and able to respond within 4 hours?
• fully insured?
• rigorously inspected twice a year to ensure standards are maintained?
• completing a thorough security survey and risk assessment of your property?
• installing reliable, up to date equipment?
• issuing you with a Certificate of Compliance for your system?
• offering you a maintenance contract?
• meeting the stringent requirements of the police or your insurer?
• operating to the highest level of business excellence through achievement of industry specific ISO 9001 Quality Management

These are some of the questions you should be asking any company you are considering to install your security system.
