CCTV Division It is a proven fact that CCTV is playing a major part in the fight against crime; more incidents are caught on camera every day. A professionally installed CCTV System can provide that vital evidence. GCS can provide a wide range of systems: this includes basic residential systems to commercial, industrial and control room monitored systems using the very latest digital recording technology and backup facilities. We offer solutions for any type of installation including Coaxial cable, twisted pair cable and fibre optic cable. We also specialize in the use of microwave links as this is becoming more popular being a cost alternative to civil works, plus it is useful for crossing roads, rivers, lakes, etc.
Intruder Division We have been installing intruder alarms for over 30 years. We are a NSI gold approved installer and are accredited for quality management to ISO 9001:2008. All our systems are designed to meet the clients’ individual requirements and we cater for domestic properties through to public sector and corporate buildings, plus many other challenges. Whatever your requirement we apply the same high standards and quality of installation. Our costing structure and selection of approved components and equipment is constantly reviewed to ensure that we provide value for money.
Wire Free Systems With improved technology, wire-free intruder alarms are becoming more popular due to the ease of installation. No fuss, no mess, and very little disruption. GCS systems are fully approved for both audible only and police response systems. They can have built in dialers and be programmed to call a friend, neighbour, or your mobile phone, SMS messaging and IP links to mobile phone Apps, plus a wide range of other features.
Police response: All monitored systems installed will be designed to comply with the current ACPO policy and the British Standard for verified alarms, and we can provide single and dual path signalling.
Emergency Service We provide a 24 hour, 365 days a year, emergency call out service that can be accessed. This is manned 24 hours a day for remote resets and advice. Should you require a call out after normal office hours there is a duty engineer on stand by. This service is available to all, but priority and reduced call out charges are given to our clients with a current maintenance contract.
Fire Division We have been installing and servicing fire alarms for a good many years and are experienced in all types of systems, conventional, analogue addressable and wire free systems. Some systems provide audible warning only, others are remotely monitored for automatic fire brigade response. We can provide either system and convert your existing audible alarm to a monitored one. All systems installed are compliant with the current British Standards. We all service and maintain existing systems as well as all types of fire extinguishers, fire blankets, buckets, floor stands, trolleys, external containers, etc. We provide fire training and carry out fire risk assessments. We can supply only or supply and fit all types of mandatory and informative signs, in plain rigid of a luminescent material. We also provide a site visit service to advise you on what signs are legally required.

Premises management and personnel tracking can be a complicated issue, and the ability to track and control who gains access to where and when is often a major concern in multi-user operations, particularly large commercial and public buildings. We can design and install a system to suit you, whether it is for 1 door and 2 users, or 1000 doors and 50,000 users. We also supply and set up a range of ID card printers suitable for printing on plastic mag swipe and ISO proximity cards, either single or double-sided. Software can be provided separately or can use ID Badging included in the Access Control System.
Planned Maintenance Facilities In order for an intruder alarm to comply with the current British Standard and to be eligible for police response, it requires a maintenance contract to be in place. Fire alarm systems also require a maintenance contract in order to meet the British Standard. These contracts are mandatory for approved systems. We also offer a Planned Maintenance Facility for other security systems, e.g. CCTV, Access Control, emergency lighting, etc. GCS Alarms Ltd is a local company who is proud of their achievements and is committed to providing the best possible service in all departments for technical ability, quality of work, and level of response.
