Next-Generation Building Protection
An intruder alarm should do more than just make a noise; it should be an integrated part of your building’s intelligence. At Kent-ITS, we specialize in the Texecom Premier Elite platform—the gold standard for UK commercial and high-end residential security.
Whether you are looking for a new installation or need to bring a legacy system into the digital age, we provide the technical expertise to ensure your property is protected 24/7.
The 2027 PSTN Switch-Off: Is Your Alarm Ready?
By 2027, the UK’s traditional analogue phone network (PSTN) will be retired. If your alarm relies on a "digicom" or a standard phone line to signal an emergency, it will stop working.
- The Solution: We specialize in the Texecom SmartCom and SmartCom 4G migration.
- All-IP Signalling: We move your alarm’s communication to your secure UniFi network. By utilizing your existing internet connection, we eliminate the cost of a dedicated BT phone line while increasing the speed and reliability of your security alerts.
- Dual-Path Protection: For high-security sites, the SmartCom 4G provides a secondary cellular path. If your main internet line is cut or fails, the system instantly switches to 4G to ensure your signals still reach their destination.
Professional Monitoring & The 'Keyholder' Advantage
While we are a systems integrator rather than an NSI/SSAIB installer, we provide professional ARC (Alarm Receiving Centre) Integration for "Keyholder Only" accounts.
- No Police URN Required: Many businesses do not require a formal Police response (URN). We set up your system to alert a professional monitoring station that will then contact your designated keyholders or private security response team.
- Self-Monitoring with Texecom Connect: With a SmartCom installed, you gain full control via the Texecom Connect App. Receive real-time "Push" notifications of activations, system faults, or power failures directly to your smartphone.
- Remote Management: Arm, disarm, and bypass zones from anywhere in the world. Perfect for managing out-of-hours deliveries or staff access.
Advanced Hardware Integration
Our expertise in IT and Access Control allows us to unlock the full potential of the Premier Elite panel:
- Paxton Net2 Integration: We utilize momentary key zone logic to link your alarm with your access control. This allows authorized staff to disarm the building with a simple fob-swipe, reducing the risk of "user error" false alarms.
- 24-Hour Guard Zones: We implement specialized programming for emergency exits. By using 24-hour guard zones on fire-compliant crash bars, we ensure the building remains secure during the day while providing an immediate alert if a fire exit is opened.
- VLAN Isolation: As with all our security assets, we isolate your SmartCom on a hardened Security VLAN, protecting it from internal network interference and cyber-threats.
