Full Security System Installation for Christchurch Housing Society

When Christchurch Housing Society moved into their new premises, they reached out to EAC Fire & Security for a complete commercial security solution. This included CCTV cameras, intruder alarms, fire alarm servicing, and external lighting upgrades—all tailored to improve safety and compliance.

Project Overview

This job involved multiple areas of fire and security installation:

  • Installing CCTV cameras around the building
  • Connecting an intruder alarm system to an ARC (Alarm Receiving Centre)
  • Testing and linking the existing fire alarm to the same monitoring service
  • Adding outdoor lighting to a poorly lit rear entrance

This was a comprehensive installation designed to protect the premises 24/7.

CCTV Camera System with Active Deterrent

We installed two active deterrent CCTV cameras, strategically positioned to monitor:

  • The main car park
  • Rear gate and walkway
  • Front and rear entrances

These modern Dahua cameras feature built-in motion-activated strobe lights and sirens, helping to deter unauthorised access before it happens. The live footage is viewable remotely, and alerts are sent instantly to the site managers when motion is detected.

Why Choose Active Deterrent Cameras?

  • Help stop intruders before entry
  • Reduce antisocial behaviour in poorly lit areas
  • Provide remote access and playback for evidence

Intruder Alarm System Linked to ARC

We fitted a new Texecom Premier Elite intruder alarm system, connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre. This means if there’s a break-in attempt or tamper alert, a 24/7 response is triggered automatically.

Additional features:

  • Internal and external sounders
  • Zone control for different working hours
  • Professional labelling and user interface

This system helps Christchurch Housing Society meet insurance and safety obligations.

Fire Alarm Testing and Monitoring

As part of this move, the housing society asked us to take over the existing fire alarm system. We performed a full 100% functionality test, verified panel operation, and added ARC monitoring to ensure emergency alerts are handled immediately.

We recommend quarterly servicing for commercial fire alarms to remain compliant with UK regulations. Read more about our fire alarm services.

Rear Entrance Lighting Upgrade

The rear path connecting the car park to the entrance had no existing lighting, creating both a security and safety issue. We added three external LED bulkhead lights to illuminate this area effectively.

  • Energy-efficient and low-maintenance
  • Sensor-activated for convenience
  • Improve visibility for residents and staff
