A burglar alarm is one of the most reliable ways to secure your home against intruders. Whether it’s a wired or smart burglar alarm, a proper installation ensures quick detection and response when an alarm is triggered. This guide explains each step of installing a burglar alarm and why choosing a certified security company in Glasgow ensures dependable protection.
Step 1: Plan the installation
Begin with a full assessment of your property. Identify all potential entry points like doors, windows, and garages, and decide where sensors, the control panel, and sirens should be placed. Professional burglar alarm companies perform detailed site surveys to tailor burglar alarm systems to your property layout and needs.
Step 2: Select the right system
Modern wireless burglar alarm systems are ideal for flexibility and easy installation. The best wireless burglar alarm systems integrate with mobile apps for remote control and instant alerts. Our wireless intruder alarm system uses Ajax technology, which features anti-jamming, fog deterrent integration, and lifetime free app access.

Step 3: Mount and position components
Install the control panel in a hidden but accessible area like a hallway or utility room. Fit door and window contacts accurately to frames, and position motion sensors to cover main walkways. Outdoor sirens should be visible to deter potential intruders while remaining tamper-resistant.
Step 4: Connect and configure the system
Once all components are installed, connect the system to the network or power supply. Name the sensors, set delay times, and link the system to a monitoring centre. Gold Standard Security Scotland provides home alarm systems that are professionally monitored 24/7 by an NSI Gold-certified Alarm Receiving Centre, ensuring real operators respond to verified alarms within seconds.
Step 5: Test and verify performance
After installation, every sensor and alarm trigger should be tested. The monitoring centre must receive each signal correctly, confirming that the system meets safety and reliability standards. Professional installers always perform a verification test before handing over the system to the client.
Step 6: Training and maintenance
You should know how to arm, disarm, and manage your burglar alarm security system using its mobile app or keypad. Schedule maintenance checks to ensure continued reliability. Accredited installers can handle routine servicing, battery replacements, and software updates.
