Your security system installer in Whittlesey

Whether your premises are shops and offices near the market and St Mary’s Church or industrial units and yards on the edge of town, we survey the site first and then install the CCTV, access control, ANPR, barriers, gates, turnstiles or fence alarms it actually needs, adding intruder alarms and fire alarms where they help.
Our qualified engineers tailor each installation to your needs and budget, for blue-chip organisations and smaller Whittlesey firms alike. We are a Cambridgeshire business with local engineers, and we cover Whittlesey from our base in Huntingdon.

Why BDi Advance
Why Whittlesey businesses choose BDi Advance
What an installation with us looks like for a Whittlesey business, from the first visit onwards.
Survey before specification
Free site visit
An engineer visits at a time that suits you, walks the premises with you and explains the options before we put a price on anything.
Impartial advice
Right system
Straight advice on whether cameras, door access, ANPR or a fence alarm will solve the problem you have, so you pay for what the site needs.
Tidy, careful installation
Installation
Courteous and polite engineers install, programme and test the system, then show your team how to use it day to day.
Room to grow
Upgrades
Start with one system and add more later. We plan CCTV, access control and alarms so they can be linked, and we upgrade systems first fitted by other installers.
Our services
Fire and security systems we install in Whittlesey

Installation
Security system installation in Whittlesey
Most Whittlesey enquiries start with a specific job: cameras for a yard, door access for an office, or replacing an alarm that keeps going off for no reason. We install for that job while planning for what may come next, so CCTV, access control and intruder alarms can be linked later and managed together.
Every stage runs from site assessment to system integration: we survey, design, install, programme and test, then hand over with your team shown how everything works. Let us know at the survey if your insurer has requirements for how your Whittlesey premises are protected, and the design will meet them.
CCTV and access control for Whittlesey premises
Two systems that are often installed together, so the person at the door can be seen as well as let in.
CCTV installation
Cameras sited to cover entrances, yards, car parks and stock areas, with recording and remote viewing on your phone or computer, including i-PRO cameras and Milestone XProtect. Commercial CCTV
Access control installation
Fobs, cards, keypads and door entry for staff and visitors, with Paxton and Avigilon systems that can be linked to your cameras. Access control
One maintenance arrangement. CCTV, access control, intruder alarms, ANPR, barriers and fence alarms can all be serviced by the same engineers.
Fire safety for Whittlesey premises
Our own engineers install, service and repair fire alarms and fire extinguishers, and we arrange the rest of your fire safety through our sister companies, so you have one point of contact.

Servicing and maintenance in Whittlesey
Installation is only the start. We service, repair and maintain security systems across Whittlesey and PE7, including systems fitted by other installers that you want us to take over.
Help at any hour
Our manned service line is open 24 hours, and an engineer can be called out in an emergency at any time, 365 days a year. Remote support and diagnostics are used where the system allows it.
Taking over a system
If you have inherited cameras, door access or an alarm from a previous tenant or installer, we survey what is there and tell you plainly whether to repair, upgrade or replace it.
A full check twice a year is standard in our maintenance contracts. More about maintenance
Vehicles and boundaries
Vehicle and perimeter security
Whittlesey is surrounded by open fenland, and many sites around the town have yards, car parks and long boundaries as well as buildings. For these we install number plate recognition, controlled entry and fence line detection alongside CCTV and access control.
Linked together, a plate read, a barrier opening or a fence alarm can be checked on camera straight away.
ANPR cameras
Number plate recognition
TagMaster ANPR cameras read plates at entrances and gatehouses, opening barriers for known vehicles and logging each visit.
Barriers, gates and turnstiles
Controlled entry
Automatic barriers, gates and turnstiles control vehicle and pedestrian entry, with bollards and road blockers where a site needs more.
Fence alarms
Boundary detection
Fence alarms and perimeter intrusion detection guard the edge of Whittlesey sites, raising the alarm at the fence line before anyone reaches the building.
How we work
From site visit to ongoing support
Quotations start with a free site visit. Seeing your premises first, including how they are used and what needs protecting, means the security systems are designed for the site and the budget rather than quoted blind.

SSAIB certified for security, FIA members for fire
Whittlesey premises get CCTV, intruder alarm and access control installation, servicing and maintenance under our SSAIB certification, from a contractor with CHAS accreditation too. For fire alarm work, BDi Advance is a member of the Fire Industry Association (FIA). Insurer conditions for Whittlesey premises should be mentioned at the survey, so the design takes them into account.
