Overview
Your commercial security installer in Bury St Edmunds
BDi Advance designs and installs commercial security systems for businesses in Bury St Edmunds, whether that is a shop or office in the town centre, a unit on Suffolk Business Park at Moreton Hall, or a warehouse or workshop on the industrial estates off Western Way and Northern Way. Most of our Bury St Edmunds work combines several systems: CCTV to see what is happening, an intruder alarm to raise the alert out of hours, access control on staff and visitor doors, and perimeter protection where a yard or car park is open to the road.
We plan these as one business security system, sized to the building and the budget, and our engineers carry on servicing it after handover. For our fire and security services across the town, see the Bury St Edmunds page.

Our services
Business security systems in Bury St Edmunds
Choose one system or combine all four. Whatever you start with can be extended later and maintained by the same engineers.
For intruder alarms and access control there are dedicated Bury St Edmunds pages linked from each card.
CCTV
IP camera systems for shop floors, car parks, loading bays and entrances, with recording, remote viewing on your phone and Avigilon, i-PRO and Milestone options.
Best for: watching over the premises and keeping recorded evidence.
Intruder alarms
Graded business alarm systems with app alerts and keyholder notifications, installed and serviced under our SSAIB certification.
Best for: raising the alert when the premises are closed.
Access control
Card, fob and keypad entry with door entry systems, for one building or several sites, including Paxton and Avigilon access control.
Best for: deciding who can open which door, and when.
Perimeter protection
Barriers, bollards, road blockers, turnstiles and fence alarms that control vehicles and people before they reach the building.
Best for: yards, depots and units with an open frontage.
Business security
Commercial alarm, CCTV and access systems that work together
A retail unit in the town centre, an office on a business park and a warehouse near the A14 face different risks, so the balance of systems changes from site to site. A shop may need cameras over the tills and an alarm that alerts the manager; a distribution unit may need detection along the fence line, number plate recognition at the gate and controlled access to the warehouse.
Where it helps, the systems are linked: an alarm can be checked against the camera view, doors can be locked down from the same platform, and events are logged together. The design is based on the survey, what needs protecting and any insurer requirements.
Business security for Bury St Edmunds premises
The same four systems, arranged for two very different kinds of site. We recommend what each part of your premises needs, and leave out what it does not.
Town centre shops and offices
Cameras on entrances, tills and stockrooms, a business alarm with app alerts, and door entry or fob access on staff doors and reception, so every visitor is seen and every door is managed. Access control systems
Business park and industrial units
Fence alarms, barriers and ANPR at the vehicle gate, CCTV over the yard and loading bays, and alarm zones that let one area be set while the rest of the site keeps working. Perimeter protection
One contract for everything. CCTV, intruder alarm, access control and perimeter systems can all sit under a single maintenance agreement.
Servicing and maintenance in Bury St Edmunds
A security system is only useful if it works when it is needed. Bury St Edmunds businesses can hand the servicing, maintenance and repair of CCTV, intruder alarms, access control and perimeter systems to us, even if other installers fitted them.
Round-the-clock cover
Every day of the year, our service line is manned and our emergency technicians are on call around the clock, backed by remote diagnostics and support where the system allows it.
Repair, upgrade or replace
If a system is ageing, unreliable or no longer suits how the building is used, we inspect it and give you a straight recommendation on repair, upgrade or replacement.
Our maintenance contracts include a full check twice a year as standard. More about maintenance
Site and perimeter security
ANPR, barriers and perimeter protection
For business park units, depots and industrial sites around Bury St Edmunds, we also install systems that manage vehicles and protect the boundary, alongside CCTV and access control.
They can be tied into your other systems, so a plate read at the gate, a barrier movement or a fence alarm is recorded with everything else on 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
The site boundary
Perimeter intrusion detection and fence alarms that detect intruders at the boundary, before they reach the building.

A town centre shop needs its stock and tills covered after closing; a food or manufacturing site needs deliveries and shift changes managed around the clock. The system follows how the site actually runs.
Advance Security has been our security systems installer and maintainer for the last 16 years. Our site has developed massively in that time and the security requirements have grown accordingly.
We have Access Control Systems covering some 130 entrance doors across three offices in the UK and Advance has been instrumental in ensuring they were delivered to meet our demanding deadlines.
Our CCTV system was recently brought up to the latest high definition IP platform, and again Advance Security were there to provide the transition, ensuring the minimum down time.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Advance Security, they have a can-do attitude, and are always on call at a moment’s notice when we need them – any faults being resolved or repaired the same day.

Frequently asked questions
Usually a combination of CCTV, an intruder alarm and access control, with perimeter protection such as fence alarms, barriers or ANPR where a site has a yard, car park or open boundary. The mix depends on the building and how it is used, and we recommend it after a free site visit.
