22 Jun Security Systems in Luton
Upgrading Your Commercial or Residential Security Systems in Luton
With Luton’s overall crime rate hovering at 104% of the national norm and robbery jumping by 49.2% recently, security systems in Luton are understandably a top priority for local home and business owners just now.
At 1st Choice Security Systems, we recognise local concerns like these. Since 2006, Luton businesses and homeowners have entrusted us with their security because we don’t just source and bolt down off-the-shelf kit. We engineer custom setups – from intelligent CCTV networks to automated gates – tailored to your property layout. Every component we install serves a single purpose: protecting your family, your team, and your physical assets without compromise.
Custom Automated Gates & Perimeter Barriers
A physical boundary is your first line of defence against trespass and vehicle crime. We engineer bespoke electric gate installations that match your property’s exact layout, whether you have a shallow residential driveway or a high-frequency commercial premises.
- Swing Gates – Classic, high-deterrent protection suited for flat surfaces with deep clearance arcs.
- Tracked Sliding Gates – Space-saving lateral gates that slide smoothly on fixed tracks, perfect for narrow or inclined entrances.
- Bi-Fold & Telescopic Systems – Articulated, centre-hinged panels engineered specifically for short or shallow footprints.
- Automated Traffic Barriers – For high-frequency access management. These are equipped with anti-crush hydraulic safety devices and locks.
HD CCTV Systems – Deterrence & Evidence Capture
Visible security cameras are the best way to deter opportunists looking for easy targets. We design and map out CCTV networks that protect your staff and assets while simultaneously generating a digital audit trail for insurance and law enforcement.
- Commercial Video Networks – Multi-camera setups engineered for warehouses, public buildings, and busy offices.
- Low-Light Sensors – High-performance optics that maintain exceptional image clarity and colour accuracy even in the dark or bright sunshine.
- Tamper-Proof Storage – Secure digital recording setups that are designed for long-term retention of footage and quick export.
- Perimeter Linkage – Automated tracking that pivots cameras toward gate access points the instant a barrier opens.
Electronic Access Control & Door Entry
Physical keys get lost, copied, or stolen, which makes them a liability. We replace manual locks with electronic access control systems that give you absolute control over who enters your home or premises, and when.
- Proximity Tokens & Fobs – Electronic keys that can be instantl y deactivated on the system if they’re lost or when staff move on.
- ANPR Gate Integration – Cameras that read authorised numberplates to open your perimeter gates automatically as you approach.
- Zoned Access Permissions – Custom system mapping that limits entry to sensitive areas, server rooms, or data storage vaults.
- Vandal-Proof Intercoms – Stainless steel entry points for verifying unexpected visitors via audio or video prior to access.
Luton Property Security – Frequently Asked Questions
We often get asked about the status of legacy systems. We’ve compiled the following questions to give you accurate info on updating your existing alarms, cameras, and physical perimeters.
1. Can we link our current security alarms with new gate systems or camera networks?
It’s not only possible, we recommend it for additional protection. Instead of managing three separate apps, we combine your intruder alarms, CCTV, and automated boundaries into a single hub. So, crossing a digital CCTV tripwire at your boundary line can instantly set off your internal alarm keypad or trigger external floodlights, letting an intruder know they have been spotted before they reach your front door.
2. How can I make sure that my monitored burglar alarms trigger a local emergency call-out?
You’ll need a monitored system that’s registered with the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) policy. To get this, you’re required to use an approved company (like 1st Choice) to install and/or manage your maintenance contract. The system is run through a 14-day test phase after installation to eliminate false alarms before the police officially activate your active URN (Unique Reference Number) tracking.
3. Can you install new electronic door entry and intercom systems onto our legacy security gates?
Yes, we’re specialists when it comes to retrofitting access control onto existing steel or timber gates. We can install smart telephone entry systems that call your mobile phone directly when a visitor arrives at your perimeter, so you can release the gate locks remotely.
