EAC Fire & Security recently completed an intruder alarm upgrade at a property in Southbourne, Bournemouth.
The customer had been experiencing false alarms and asked us to upgrade the existing alarm system to a more modern and reliable setup.
Our team removed the old Scantronic 9927 alarm system and installed a new Orisec CP20 control panel, along with new motion sensors, door contacts, keypad and WiFi module for remote access.
Upgrading an Older Scantronic Alarm System
The existing alarm system on site was an older Scantronic 9927. Due to ongoing false alarm issues, the customer wanted the system upgraded rather than continuing to rely on the older equipment.
We removed the existing Scantronic panel and replaced it with a new Orisec CP20 control panel, giving the property a more modern intruder alarm system with improved functionality.
EAC Fire & Security provides professional intruder alarm installation and alarm upgrades for homes and businesses across Bournemouth, Southbourne and the surrounding areas.
New Orisec CP20 Control Panel Installed
As part of the upgrade, we fitted a new Orisec CP20 alarm control panel.
Orisec systems are a great option for customers who want a reliable, modern and user-friendly intruder alarm system. The new control panel allowed us to upgrade the property’s alarm setup while improving how the system is controlled day to day.
The control panel was also linked to WiFi using a dedicated module, giving the customer remote access to the alarm system.
New Motion Sensors, Door Contacts and Keypad
To complete the upgrade properly, we replaced the key alarm devices throughout the property.
This included new motion sensors, new door contacts, a new keypad and the new main control panel. Replacing these components helped modernise the system and reduce the risk of future false alarm issues caused by older equipment.
The new keypad was smaller than the old one, but the customer had the wall paint available on site, allowing the area behind the keypad to be touched in neatly without any additional making good required after our visit.
WiFi Remote Access and Alarm Programming
The new alarm system was connected to WiFi via a module so the customer could access and manage the system remotely.
Remote access is a useful feature for homeowners who want greater control over their security system, especially when they are away from the property.
We also programmed full set and part set options into the system, giving the customer flexibility when securing different areas of the home.
Alongside traditional alarm systems, we also install modern smart home security systems for customers who want connected features and app-based control.
