Overview
Your fire and security company in Bishop's Stortford
BDi Advance provides commercial fire safety and security services in Bishop's Stortford, the Hertfordshire market town close to the Essex border. Premises here range from older buildings in the medieval town centre to newer commercial developments, and many businesses depend on the town’s links to London and Stansted Airport. We design, install, service and maintain fire alarms, fire extinguishers, intruder alarms, CCTV and access control, so one team looks after the systems that protect your staff, visitors and premises.
Whether you run an office, a shop, a factory, a school or a care setting, we look at how the building is used before we recommend anything, and our engineers travel from Huntingdon for surveys, installations, servicing and call-outs.

Why BDi Advance
Why BDi Advance in Bishop's Stortford
What Bishop's Stortford businesses can expect when they bring their fire and security systems to us.

Surveys
We come and look at your premises first, so the design reflects the building, how it is used and what needs protecting, rather than a desk estimate.
Someone to call at any hour
Support
If a system fails at night or over a weekend, a person answers the phone and an engineer can be sent out in an emergency.

Security and fire
Security systems in Bishop's Stortford
Our security work in Bishop's Stortford covers intruder alarms, CCTV and access control, designed to work together where that helps: an alarm activation can be checked on camera, and doors can be managed from the same platform as the rest of the system.
A historic town-centre shop and a modern industrial unit need different approaches, from discreet cabling in older buildings to wider camera coverage across a yard or car park. We plan each system around the building, what needs protecting and any insurer requirements.

Site and perimeter security
ANPR, barriers and perimeter protection
For larger Bishop's Stortford sites, including newer commercial developments and premises around Stansted Airport, we also install and maintain systems that control vehicles and protect the site boundary, alongside CCTV and access control.
These can be linked to your other systems, so a number plate read, a barrier or a perimeter alarm becomes part of one picture of the site.
ANPR cameras
Vehicle recognition
Automatic number plate recognition, including TagMaster ANPR cameras, for car parks, gatehouses and vehicle access control.
Barriers and turnstiles
Controlled entry
Automatic barriers, bollards, road blockers and turnstiles to manage vehicle and pedestrian entry to your site.
Perimeter protection

Perimeter intrusion detection and fence alarms that detect intruders at the boundary, before they reach the building.
