Duke Security Systems are trusted intruder alarm specialists in Peterborough, designing, upgrading and maintaining smart alarms for homes and businesses within a 20-mile radius. Whether you’re upgrading an existing system for app control—so you can set/unset and receive instant alerts—or starting fresh with a clean, wireless AX PRO installation, we deliver tidy, reliable results with no messy cables on show. We can rectify most faults, add extra detectors (PIRs, door contacts, shocks and outbuilding sensors), and even automate lighting to switch on with alarm events for added deterrence and convenience.
No Messy Cables. App Control as Standard
More Detectors & Zones
Set and unset from your phone, receive instant alerts, and automate lights when the alarm activates. We upgrade, repair and extend most systems—or install new wireless AX PRO alarms with no messy cables.
For new systems we recommend Hikvision AX PRO, a robust wireless platform with long-range peripherals. You get reliable detection, mobile app control (set/unset, alerts) and expansion options for outbuildings and future upgrades. Installations are clean and quick with professional sensor placement and user training.
Duke Security offers fixed priced packages for AX Pro Systems. Click below to find out more.
Our detectors are immune to pets under 30kg (about the size of an adult German shepherd). If you think this may still be a problem, please call us. There are other devices that we can use to keep your property secure.
The main panel requires a 230v power supply which can either be plugged into an existing socket or hardwired into your existing ring main. Each component (motion detector, door contacts) has a battery life between 3 – 5 years with moderate to heavy usage. The batteries are changed where required, as part of the maintenance charge.
The Advanced Encryption Standard, also known by its original name Rijndael, is a specification for the encryption of electronic data.
Unlike large installation companies, we do not tie you into an expensive contract or force expensive monitoring charges. The technology to monitor the system and inform you or an emergency contact is already embedded into the panel and is paid for under the installation. We only charge a small annual maintenance charge to visit and ensure your system is in optimum condition and to replace batteries where needed.
Beeping panels, false alarms, low-battery warnings, tamper alerts—we diagnose and rectify most faults on the first visit. If your system is uneconomical to repair, we’ll explain options clearly and credit part of the call-out against an upgrade if you proceed.
Extend coverage by adding PIRs, door contacts, shock sensors, curtain PIRs or beams. We’ll advise on the right sensor for each risk area and integrate it cleanly into your current system. Wireless peripherals mean no visible cables and minimal disruption.
We can automate internal or external lights to switch on with an alarm event or when certain zones trigger—ideal for deterring intruders and improving visibility for cameras. We’ll design simple, reliable rules that work with your system and day-to-day routine.
