Overview
Your intruder alarm company in Bury St Edmunds
BDi Advance installs and maintains commercial intruder alarms across Bury St Edmunds, from shops and cafés in the historic centre and around the arc to workshops and warehouses on the industrial estates off Western Way and Hollow Road, and newer units on Suffolk Business Park at Moreton Hall. Many of these premises sit empty overnight and at weekends, so we plan each alarm around the entry points, the hours the building is unoccupied and what the business would lose in a break-in.

Why BDi Advance
Why Bury St Edmunds businesses choose us
What working with us looks like for a shop, office or industrial unit in Bury St Edmunds.
A free site visit first
Before you commit
Quotations start with a free site visit. We look at the building, the doors and windows most at risk and how it is used after hours before we recommend anything.
One team for the whole system
Alarm, CCTV, access
The same engineers can connect your alarm to CCTV and access control, so an activation is caught on camera and a door system can set the alarm.
Existing alarms welcome
Takeovers
Moved into a unit with an alarm already fitted? We service and take over systems installed by other companies and tell you plainly whether yours is worth keeping.
Someone to call at any hour
Support
If the alarm develops a fault at night or over a weekend, a person answers our service line and an engineer can be sent out on emergency call-out.
Our Huntingdon-based engineers cover Bury St Edmunds, and we also look after organisations with sites across the UK. Client feedback
Alarm options
Intruder alarm options in Bury St Edmunds
A town-centre shop, an estate warehouse and a business park office each face different risks. We recommend the combination that suits your premises at the free site visit.
Audible alarms
Internal and external sounders and a visible bell box that warn off intruders and alert people nearby as soon as a detector is triggered.
Best for: town-centre shops and offices with neighbours and passers-by close at hand.
App control and keyholder alerts
Activations sent to named keyholders' phones, showing which zone was triggered, with the Orisec ControlPlus app to set and unset the alarm remotely.
Best for: owner-run businesses and units with nobody on site at night.
Monitored alarms
Signals sent to an alarm receiving centre, which contacts your keyholders and, where the system holds a police Unique Reference Number (URN), can request police attendance.
Best for: warehouses and industrial units that stand empty overnight.
Linked alarms
An alarm tied into access control, so staff set and unset it with their door fob, and into CCTV, so the cameras record what caused an activation.
Best for: business park offices and shared buildings with access control or CCTV.
Orisec alarms
Orisec intruder alarm installers in Bury St Edmunds
Orisec is the alarm range we install for Bury St Edmunds businesses. The control panel is the command centre of the system and comes in versions sized for anything from a single retail unit to a large commercial site, with keypads in a choice of finishes and proximity readers for inside or outside the building.
Staff can set and unset the alarm by presenting a compact NFC tag to a keypad or reader instead of sharing codes. Two and four button keyfobs add remote setting and a panic button, and the ControlPlus app shows the status of the system, sends alerts and lets you set and unset it from wherever you are.
Orisec detectors and sounders
Each part of the building gets the detection it needs, so a genuine break-in is picked up early and false alarms stay rare.
Inside the premises
Motion detectors designed to catch an intruder's movement without unwanted false alarms, Orisec 360 ceiling-mount detectors for open shop floors and offices, door and window contacts in visible or covert versions, and shock detectors that react to an attempt on a door or window before anyone gets in. Wired and wireless versions are available.
Around the outside
An external sounder with a 115-decibel siren that doubles as a visible deterrent, illuminated models for dark winter evenings, decoy sounders for rear and side elevations, and external detectors, with over 20 wired and wireless variants for yards and service areas.
Alarm fitted by someone else? We take over and maintain alarms installed by other companies, and tell you honestly when parts are nearing the end of their life.
Intruder alarm servicing in Bury St Edmunds
We recommend servicing a commercial intruder alarm at least once a year. Under our maintenance contracts your alarm gets a full check twice a year as standard, covering detectors, sounders, the control panel, batteries and signalling.
Help at any hour
At any hour, 365 days a year, a person answers our service line and an emergency technician can be called out, with remote support and diagnostics where the alarm allows it.
Repairs, takeovers and upgrades
If the alarm keeps false-alarming, came with the building or no longer matches how the premises are used, we inspect it and recommend repair, upgrade or replacement, whichever is most practical.
One contract for alarm, CCTV and access control. All your security systems can be serviced under a single maintenance arrangement. More about maintenance
How we work
From site visit to ongoing support
Every quotation starts with a free site visit. We walk round the premises with you, note the doors, windows and rooms that matter, ask when the building is empty and design the alarm from there rather than quoting from a price list.
