At Highland Services, we know that protecting commercial premises requires more than just a single solution. Effective commercial security systems are built in layers – each playing a role in deterring, detecting and delaying threats.
From CCTV installation to access control systems and intruder alarm systems, here’s how we help businesses build smarter, stronger protection.
Start with a proper assessment
Every business is different. Before we recommend anything, we assess your site layout, access points, operations and existing systems. This allows us to create business security solutions that are practical, compliant, and cost-effective.
Layer 1: CCTV as a visible deterrent
CCTV installation is often the first step. It’s a proven deterrent for theft and vandalism – and a valuable tool if an incident happens. We install cameras where they’ll make the most impact, with options for static, HD, or PTZ units. All of our CCTV systems are designed around your site and your needs, and can be integrated with other systems.
Layer 2: Control who goes where
Access control systems help restrict movement around your building. From fobs to keypad entry, we install secure, easy-to-manage solutions that give you full control over who enters key areas. Whether you're running a warehouse, office or school, we help manage risk without disrupting operations.
Layer 3: Intruder alarms for early alerts
If someone does breach your perimeter, a properly configured intruder alarm system is essential. We install alarms that detect movement, unauthorised entry, or forced access, and we link them with your wider security setup for quicker response. Ongoing support and maintenance keep everything running exactly as it should.
Add-ons that strengthen your system
We often recommend supporting measures like:
- Security lighting – motion-activated lights around entrances and blind spots
- Automated gates or barriers – to manage traffic flow and prevent unwanted access
- Integrated control panels – to manage multiple systems from one point
Our team advises what will genuinely help your site – without upselling unnecessary features.
Joined-up systems, better protection
The most secure sites don’t rely on separate systems – they use fully integrated solutions. When your CCTV, access control and intruder alarms work together, you reduce vulnerabilities, streamline control, and improve response times.
All of our installations are carried out by qualified engineers, and we’re proud to be SSAIB-accredited – a mark of quality that ensures our systems meet industry -recognised standards for security and reliability. It also offers reassurance for insurers and regulators.
We also design systems to comply with current British Standards and can integrate fire alarm systems if required – providing a full safety solution under one roof.
Ongoing maintenance and support
Every system needs regular checks to keep it reliable and compliant. We offer ongoing support and planned maintenance to ensure everything continues working as expected. Whether it’s replacing faulty components or updating access permissions, we’re on hand to keep your setup performing year-round.
Get your team on board
Technology is only part of the picture – your staff also need to know how to use it. We make sure all systems are easy to manage, and we recommend setting clear procedures for locking up, reporting faults or dealing with visitors. A well-trained team helps avoid security gaps.
Build it right, from the start
A layered approach makes your business harder to target, quicker to respond, and easier to manage. With Highland Services, you get expert advice, SSAIB-accredited installation, and dependable support – so your site is protected now, and into the future.
