Is your alarm beeping, triggering at random or showing a tamper fault? Duke Security Systems provide fast, tidy repairs and fault-finding for homes and businesses across Peterborough and a 20-mile radius. We work on most major brands, give clear, no-jargon advice, and only replace what’s necessary. If repair isn’t the smartest spend, we’ll outline fair upgrade options (including app control or a clean AX PRO migration) so you can choose confidently.
Call us on 01733 639096 or request a call back below:
Constant beeping or low-battery warnings
Tamper alerts (panel, PIRs, door contacts, external bell)
False alarms / random triggers
Zone faults and sensors not detecting
Keypad or siren not working
Mains power supply / backup battery failures
Communication issues (notifications, phone line/IP/GSM)
Time/date resets, clocks, and user code problems
We aim to resolve most issues on the first visit. If an upgrade proves better value, we’ll price it clearly and can schedule it at your convenience.
Sometimes older panels or peripherals are past their best. We’ll never push you—just explain your options:
Add App Control to Your Existing System
Keep your current kit and upgrade for phone control so you can set/unset and receive alerts. Often a quick, tidy retrofit.
Migrate to Wireless AX PRO
A clean, modern system with no messy cables on show, excellent range and Hik-Connect app as standard. Ideal if frequent faults or missing parts are driving you mad.
Add Extra Detectors
Extend coverage with PIRs, door/window contacts, shocks and outdoor beams—wireless options keep disruption low and finishes neat.
Speak to an engineer, not a salesperson.
Tell us a little about your property and what you need—new AX PRO install, upgrade for app control (set/unset + alerts), extra detectors, or fault-finding/repairs. We’ll come back with clear advice and an indicative price.
Helpful to include:
• Best time to call (AM/PM/evening)
• Existing alarm brand/model (if known)
• What you’d like to achieve (upgrade, add sensors, fix a fault)

Tamper indicates the system thinks something has been opened or interfered with. We’ll check the panel, sensors and bell box to find the cause.
In most cases, yes. We’ll confirm on the call and bring common parts and batteries to resolve issues on the first visit.
Repairs rarely need any chasing. If we add devices, we favour wireless peripherals to keep things neat.

We’ll say so. We can quote a clean AX PRO replacement and let you decide—no pressure.
