What happened to Smiths Security Services Ltd in Reading?

In 2011 Smiths Security Services Ltd was acquired by Stanley Convergent Security Solutions (Stanley CSS), part of Stanley Black & Decker. If you would still like to have your existing alarm maintained and cared-for by a local installation company, and are looking for an alternative to Stanley Security Solutions, why not give us a call, or visit our website to retrieve a free no-obligation quotation and more information?

Why does my front door now chime every time I open and close it?

If your front door, or perhaps any other door has suddenly started making a chiming noise through your alarm system, it's because you have activated the 'chime' feature.
This feature is toggled on and off by pressing the 'C' key when the alarm is in it's normal unset state. When you press the 'C' key you will see a small lower case 'c' character appear or disappear on the keypad LCD display.
It's nothing to worry about. Note: Only zones/detectors programmed by the engineer to be chime enabled will trigger if you activate the 'chime' facility.

Don't let Christmas Decorations Compromise your Security

It's now the season where everyone is hanging tinsel, baubles, and other ornaments across their rooms and ceilings. One thing to note however is that reflective decorations placed very closed to PIR (infra red) detectors can cause them to trigger leading to false alarms. It always good practice to not hand any obstructions in front of the PIRs also, doing so would mean that thedetector could fail to trigger if there really was a genuine break-in.
