Home Security, CCTV & Alarm Installation in Norwich

Your home is your sanctuary. We protect it with military-grade encryption, 4K video surveillance, and smart intrusion detection systems.

Burglary is a violation that takes years to recover from emotionally. The best way to deal with a break-in is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Statistics consistently show that visible, professional-grade security systems are the single most effective deterrent against opportunistic crime.

At Yare Electrical, we don’t install cheap “DIY” kits that rely on weak Wi-Fi signals and batteries that run out when you need them most. We install professional, hard-wired and hybrid security ecosystems. From security lighting that floods the driveway the moment a footstep is detected, to cameras that send 4K video to your phone in real-time, we give you total control over your home’s safety.

Smart Intruder Alarms: The New Standard

The days of rushing to the keypad to punch in a code before the siren screams are over. We install cutting-edge Smart Alarm Systems (such as Pyronix Enforcer and Ajax) that put the control in your pocket.

1. App-Based Control

Forgot to set the alarm before you left for the airport? No problem. Open the app and arm the system from the departure lounge. If the alarm triggers, you don’t just hope a neighbour hears it; you get an instant “Push Notification” on your phone telling you exactly what happened (e.g., “Vibration Sensor – Conservatory Window”).

2. Intelligent Zoning (Night Set)

Security isn’t just for when you are away. We program “Zones” into your system.

Zone A (Full Set): Arms the whole house when you go out.

Zone B (Night Set): Arms only the downstairs doors and windows while disabling the upstairs sensors. This allows you to sleep safely knowing the perimeter is secure, while still being able to walk to the bathroom without triggering the siren.

3. Pet Friendly Sensors

We use “Dual-Tech” sensors that combine microwave and infrared technology to distinguish between a human and a pet. Your dog can roam the house freely (up to 25kg) while the alarm remains fully armed against intruders.

CCTV Systems: See Everything in 4K

Grainy, black-and-white footage is useless to the police. If you want a conviction, you need evidence. We install professional IP (Internet Protocol) CCTV Systems that deliver crystal-clear images, day and night.

ColorVu Night Vision

Traditional infrared cameras switch to black and white at night. The problem? You can’t tell if the intruder’s jacket is red or blue. We install Hikvision ColorVu cameras. These use an advanced F1.0 super-aperture lens and a gentle supplemental light to record in Full Colour, 24/7, even in pitch black darkness.

NVR Recording (No Monthly Fees)

Unlike “Cloud Cameras” (like Ring or Nest) that charge you a monthly subscription to save your video, we install a dedicated Network Video Recorder (NVR) in your home (usually hidden in the loft or cupboard). This hard drive stores weeks of footage locally. You own your data, and there are zero ongoing monthly costs.

Home CCTV & The Law (GDPR)

Homeowners often worry about the legalities of pointing cameras at the street. Under GDPR and privacy laws, you have a right to protect your property, but you must be responsible.

As professional installers, we ensure you stay compliant:

• Privacy Masking: If your camera view captures a neighbour’s window or a public pavement, we digitally “black out” that specific section of the image in the software. This ensures you record your driveway without infringing on others’ privacy.
• Signage: We can provide small, discreet “CCTV in Operation” window stickers, which act as both a deterrent and a legal notice.

Perimeter Protection

The best time to stop a burglar is before they get inside. We offer advanced perimeter defence layers:

Shock Sensors

These small devices attach to your window frames. They detect the specific vibration frequency of a hammer striking glass or a crowbar forcing a frame. If detected, the alarm triggers before the glass even breaks, scaring the intruder away before they gain entry.

Driveway Beams

For larger properties with long driveways or gates, we can install invisible infrared beams. If a vehicle or person breaks the beam, it can silently alert you inside the house (via a chime) or trigger your floodlights.

Smart Doorbells & Intercoms

Most burglaries start with a knock at the front door to see if anyone is home. A smart video doorbell allows you to answer the door from anywhere in the world.

We prefer Hard-Wired Installations over battery versions. By connecting the doorbell directly to your consumer unit (via a transformer), we ensure:

• Instant Response: No “lag” waiting for the battery to wake up.
• 24/7 Recording: Many hard-wired units record continuously, unlike battery units that only record when pressed.
• Reliability: No failures during cold Norfolk winters (which drain batteries rapidly).

Why Choose Yare Electrical?

We are electricians, not just “alarm fitters.” This gives us a unique advantage:

• Integrated Systems: We can link your security system to your home electrics. Imagine your house lights automatically turning on full brightness if the alarm is triggered, startling the intruder.
• Cable Concealment: We have the tools and skills to fish cables through cavities, under floorboards, and through lofts. We pride ourselves on leaving your home neat, tidy, and wire-free.
• Maintenance: Security systems need love too. We offer annual maintenance packages to test batteries, clean camera lenses, and ensure sensors are still communicating correctly.
