Overview
Your commercial security company in Peterborough
BDi Advance installs commercial security systems for businesses across Peterborough, from shops and reception areas around the city centre to offices, warehouses and industrial units at Fengate, Orton Southgate and the business parks along the A1 corridor. We bring CCTV, intruder alarms, access control and perimeter protection together, so one team designs, installs and looks after the systems that protect your premises, stock and staff.
Rather than quote for a single product, we look at how your site is used, who comes and goes, and where it is most exposed, then recommend the mix of systems that fits. For everything we do in the city, see our Peterborough page.

CCTV
Shop floors, entrances, car parks and yards covered by IP cameras that record, can be viewed remotely and offer analytics, including Avigilon, i-PRO and Milestone systems.
Best for: seeing and recording what happens around your premises, day and night.
Intruder alarms
Alerts to your phone and to keyholders, with monitored options, from graded intruder alarms installed and serviced under our SSAIB certification.
Best for: knowing straight away if someone breaks in out of hours.
Access control
Paxton and Avigilon access control for a single building or a multi-site operation, with fobs, cards, keypads and door entry.
Best for: managing staff, visitor and contractor access to reception areas and restricted zones.
Perimeter protection
Fence alarms, barriers, bollards, road blockers and turnstiles to control vehicles and people at the edge of your site.
Best for: yards, depots and business park sites with open boundaries.
Business security
Business security systems in Peterborough
Peterborough has a strong mix of retail, office, logistics and industrial premises, and each needs a different balance of systems. A city centre shop may need cameras over the tills and stockroom and an alarm that alerts the manager's phone; a distribution unit may need perimeter detection, number plate recognition at the gate and access control on the warehouse doors.
Where it adds value we design the systems as one, so an alarm activation can be checked on camera, doors can be managed from the same platform and events are recorded in one place. Each design takes account of how the site is used, what needs protecting and any insurer requirements.
Security for retail, office and industrial premises
The same four systems, arranged differently for different Peterborough sites. We recommend what each area of your premises needs, and nothing it does not.
Shops, offices and reception areas
Cameras covering tills, entrances and stockrooms, intruder alarms with app alerts, and door entry or access control on staff doors and reception desks, so visitors are seen and managed. Access control systems
Warehouses, yards and industrial units
Perimeter detection, barriers and ANPR at vehicle gates, with CCTV and access control on loading bays and warehouse doors, and alarms zoned so that parts of the site can be set while others stay in use. Perimeter protection
One installer, one maintenance arrangement. Your CCTV, intruder alarm, access control and perimeter systems can all be looked after under one contract.
Servicing and maintenance in Peterborough
Security systems need to stay reliable after installation. Peterborough CCTV, intruder alarm, access control and perimeter systems can be serviced, maintained and repaired by us, including ones other companies fitted.
24-hour support
There is always someone on our service line, day or night, 365 days a year; emergency technicians attend around the clock, and remote diagnostics support systems that allow it.
Takeovers and upgrades
A system that is dated, unreliable or out of step with how the building is used gets an inspection, and we recommend repair, upgrade or replacement, whichever is most practical.
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 distribution hubs, industrial estates and business park sites around Peterborough, we also install and maintain systems that control vehicles and protect the site boundary, alongside CCTV and access control.
Linked to your other systems, a plate read at the gate, a barrier or a perimeter alarm at a Peterborough site all join one picture.
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.
How we work
From site visit to ongoing support
Quotations start with a free site visit. Our engineer visits your Peterborough premises to see the building, its use and what needs protecting, and the security systems are designed around the site and the budget, not quoted blind.

A shop needs its stock and tills protected after closing, a distribution site needs vehicles and deliveries controlled around the clock. We design around how the site is actually used.

They have consistently provided us with a reliable and efficient service that has met all our requirements.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on the premises and how they are used. Most businesses start with an intruder alarm and CCTV, then add access control where staff, visitors or contractors need managing, and perimeter protection where there is a yard, car park or open boundary. We recommend the right mix after a free site visit.
