It’s not easy doing business in Christchurch. With the staff to manage, ensuring operations are running smoothly and everyday management issues, the last thing you need to worry about is whether your business is secure. This is where Action Security comes into play.

Here at Access Alarms Christchurch, we’ve been looking after businesses throughout Christchurch and Canterbury for over 40 years – securing your premises, staff, and customers.

In this post, we will introduce you to:

  • The signs that your business needs access alarms
  • What they do and don’t do
  • Frequently asked questions about access alarms
  • Why integrating them with CCTV & intercoms is a good security practice

What is an Alarm System for Access?

So what the heck is an access alarm system?

At its most basic level, it is a security solution that allows you to regulate and monitor who can access your space. It’s like having a guard you can trust who never sleeps.

Access alarms include:

  • Door and window arming sensors
  • CCTV security cameras are watching your property
  • Intercoms for secure interaction with visitors
  • Security access points with only authorised personnel permitted

If your system is installed correctly, you can protect your employees, protect your merchandise, and preserve your business image.

By installing and maintaining an Access Alarm System in Christchurch, we can tailor your security set-up to the unique needs of your premises, whether you have a tiny retail outlet in Sydenham or a large warehouse on the outskirts of the city.

Instant Access Keeps You Connected and in Control

One of the greatest benefits of modern alarms is that they give you access to your alarms on your phone.

Even when you’re not at your business, you can instantly know if something isn’t right.

For example, if a door sensor is activated after hours, you’ll receive an immediate push alert. That way, you can review your CCTV, phone our monitoring team, and do whatever needs to be done.

This type of control offers peace of mind to business owners, no more worrying about what goes on when you’re at home or out of town.
With an access alarm system, you will never lose communication with your business.

Deters Criminal Activity

A properly installed security alarm is one of the simplest methods to discourage thieves.
Very few (if any) criminals in Christchurch would dare to break into a business that clearly has an alarm system, CCTV, and professional monitoring.

But can burglars defeat alarms?

Although no system is infallible, today's access controls are built with many layers of security.

When a system contains motion detectors, door/window sensors, integrated access control, and CCTV cameras, it is very difficult for an intruder to disable the system without being detected.

Only ensuring that your property is properly maintained and professionally installed will keep it safe.

24/7 Monitoring and Support

It’s one thing to have an alarm system, but having eyes on it 24/7 makes all the difference.

At Action Security, our Access Alarms Christchurch are monitored by a team of professional controllers.

Whether it’s a break-in, fire, or technical malfunction, you will never be on your own.

Real-time tracking is important for:

  • Christchurch's busy retail shops
  • Offices with multiple entry points
  • Canterbury warehouses or wharepaku

When paired with CCTV and access control, all doors are locked down, and any issue can be addressed at the touch of a button.

Tailored Security Solutions

Every business is unique, and a one-size-fits-all solution doesn’t work.
At Action Security, we can tailor a security solution to suit you.

Some examples:

  • Shops: Recorded coverage of entrances, cash registers, and warehouses
  • Business premises: Intercom and limited entry for conference rooms
  • Warehouses: Sensors and remote monitoring

With a personalized alarm system, you aren’t just adding tech to your business; you’re investing in protection that’s tailored for the way you work.

Integration With Other Security Systems

Today’s access alarms have ease of integration over other security solutions as one of their major advantages.

When you integrate your alarm system with CCTV, intercom, MS, and access control, you can:

  • Watch all doors and windows at any time
  • Control who enters specific areas
  • Review recorded footage for incidents
  • Get immediate alerts on your phone

With this pairing, you now have a full 360-degree security package that virtually no threat can penetrate.
