At a glance

What to know about alarm systems for tobacconists

A tobacconist brings together, in very little space, expensive products that are easy to sell, plus cash and other valuables. Break-ins tend to be quick and at night: the shutter is forced and in a few minutes the stock is gone.

01

Very quick break-ins

Detection has to respond at the first attempt, not once they are already inside.

02

Shutter and window

They are the most common point of attack.

03

Back room

The stock kept out of sight can be worth even more than what is on display.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about alarm systems for tobacconists

Can forcing the shutter be detected?

Yes. Shutter and impact detectors can be fitted so the alert goes off before anyone gets in.

Do the cameras also record by day?

Yes, and you can view them on your phone. They must be accompanied by information signs.

Is my business required to have a grade 3 alarm?

It depends on the activity. Regulations require it for businesses such as jewellers, petrol stations, banks and lottery outlets. We review your case during the visit.

What is the difference between grade 2 and grade 3?

Grade 3 requires greater resistance to tampering, dual-path communication and anti-masking detectors.

Do you install grade 3 with no building work?

Yes. We use wireless Ajax equipment certified to EN 50131, including grade 3.

Does the alarm notify the police?

Yes. The alarm is connected to a receiving centre that operates 24 hours a day and notifies the police in the event of an intrusion.

What does the alarm receiving centre do?

It receives the signal from your alarm at any hour and handles the alert. In the event of an intrusion it notifies the police, and you also get a notification on your phone.

Can I combine an alarm and cameras?

Yes. They can be combined and managed together from the mobile app, so you see what is happening while the centre handles the alert.
