Designed and installed by experts
Ward’s Wireless Intruder Detection Systems (WIDS) help keep your premises safe and secure, combining detectors with motion sensors as well as (in some cases) audio feeds for the ultimate protection.
Our wireless intruder systems are able to connect to a local network so that you don’t have to worry about WiFi downtime but, crucially, also enable real-time notifications to security personnel’s devices.
These real-time notifications can also be configured to include visual snapshots of whatever’s triggered the alarm, making the most effective use of your surveillance staff’s time by letting them see at a glance whether anything warrants more attention.
Key features of WIDS
Easier design and installation
Other than the reduced cost, a key benefit of wireless intruder detection systems over hard-wired ones is that you don’t have to size and install every part of the system from the beginning. Because it’s so easy to add devices (such as detectors, break glass sensors, and heat sensors) to the network, you can always add them as your business grows, your operations evolve, or as new possible entry methods emerge.
A longer-term investment
Because many WIDS devices are powered where they are and don’t have to have complex network cabling installed, investing in the system doesn’t mean it’s money lost if your organisation decides to move premises. You can always take your security devices with you to the new premises and save having to buy again.
Maximum visibility
Whenever device alarms are triggered, notifications can be sent in real-time to an on-premises control room, but also to the personal devices (such as smartphones) of key security personnel – or even key organisational staff. This means that nothing’s ever going to slip past the net if anything happens to the control room.
Advanced detection capabilities
Wireless intruder detection systems are able to detect things like heat, movement, visual movement, and even sound to give an indication of what causes an activation. Not only does this allow for greater accuracy in identification, but it helps prevent false activations, reducing the amount of money wasted on false callouts.
Sound can give clues and trigger alarms when would-be intruders are avoiding the field of view of the camera. It also helps to spot when intruders are using brute-force methods of entry (such as cutting door locks or crowbarring jambs) before intruders have managed to actually enter.
Why our wireless intruder alert systems are ideal for businesses
- Ease of installation: Wireless systems eliminate the need for complex cable routing, simplifying the setup process for the system designers and installers.
- Flexible power options: Many wireless detection devices can be powered locally with lithium batteries, enabling greater flexibility.
- Cost: Wireless systems are generally less expensive to install and maintain compared to hard-wired systems.
- A strong solution to hard-wired systems: Many businesses do not require the extra security provided by hard-wired systems, making wireless systems a suitable choice without the added costs.
Invest in security with trusted experts
Securing your premises and goods is primarily a cost-saving decision – but good security also makes your staff feel safer and more content. In the case of highly-sensitive premises such as government infrastructure, data centres, and high-value storage spaces, great security and surveillance can be the difference between life and death.
