Intruder Alarm Upgrade at Huddersfield Deaf Centre

Think Smart Security Limited proudly provides customers with quality service and installation in the West Yorkshire area.

Overview

Project Overview

Huddersfield Deaf Centre required a modern intruder alarm system that could accommodate the needs of deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals while maintaining robust security for the building. The existing alarm system was outdated and did not provide sufficient visual alerts, making it difficult for staff and visitors to be aware of alarm status changes.

Project complications

Challenges

Standard alarm systems rely on audible alerts, which are ineffective for deaf users.
The customer required a solution with clear visual indicators for system status.
Multiple users needed an easy way to arm and disarm the system without relying on complex codes.
The system needed to be secure, reliable, and remotely manageable.

Offered assistance

Solution Provided

To address these challenges, we installed an Orisec intruder alarm system with enhanced accessibility features, including a colour-changing LED light system that visually indicates the alarm status.

Orisec Intruder Alarm Installation
- Installed an Orisec CP200 control panel for a reliable and expandable security system.
- Added a keypad with a built-in proximity reader in the main hallway for easy arming/disarming.
- Configured the system for partitioned security zones, allowing different areas to be controlled independently.
Visual Alarm Status Indicator
- Installed a colour-changing LED indicator to provide a clear visual representation of the alarm status.
- Light status guide:
  - Green – Alarm is being armed.
  - Off – System is set and secure.
  - Bright White – System requires disarming (e.g., when someone enters the building).
  - Red – System is not ready to be armed due to a fault (e.g., an open door) or an alarm has been triggered.
- The red light feature ensures users can quickly check for faults or recent alarm triggers.
User-Friendly Access Control
- The system can be controlled using:
  - User codes entered on the keypad.
  - Proximity tags, allowing quick arming/disarming without needing a PIN.
  - The Control Plus 2 mobile app, enabling remote monitoring and control.
Integration with Smart Security Features
- The alarm system can be expanded to include:
  - Smart flood detectors to protect against water damage.
  - Fire alarm integration for a fully connected security solution.
