Alarm Systems & Rapid Response

When the alarm goes off, our team is already moving.

Detection without response is just a noise. Our alarm systems are wired straight to a 24/7 monitoring centre with armed response vehicles standing by across Kampala.

What’s included

Everything in the contract.

No surprise line items. No optional “essentials” upsold after signing. The list below is the standard.

  • Wired & wireless intrusion detection — Paradox / DSC / Texecom systems
  • Panic buttons — fixed under-counter, mobile pendant, mobile-app duress code
  • Smoke + heat detection integrated with Uganda fire-response protocols
  • Cellular (MTN + Airtel SIMs) and IP dual-path signalling, fail-over within 60 sec
  • 24/7 Kololo monitoring centre — 14 operators, ASIS-trained
  • Armed response within 15 minutes (Kampala metro) — 9 hubs, 52-vehicle Land Cruiser fleet
  • KampalaGuards mobile app (iOS + Android) — arm/disarm, history, video verification
  • Quarterly system tests, documented, signed by client representative
What you actually receive

Tangible deliverables.

Not promises. Documents, hardware, access, certificates — the artefacts you can hand to your auditor or hold in your hand.

  • 01Risk assessment — door, window, and movement-zone analysis
  • 02Hardware install — panel, sensors, sirens, panic buttons, battery backup
  • 03Mobile pendant duress devices for nominated users (residential / executive)
  • 04KampalaGuards mobile app with arm/disarm and full event history
  • 05Cellular signalling — MTN + Airtel dual-SIM with auto failover
  • 06Quarterly system test certificate, signed by client representative
  • 07Monthly false-alarm tuning report — reduces nuisance dispatches by ~80%
  • 08Armed response certificate — quarterly drill, response time documented
How we deploy

5-step engagement, every time.

Same process for a single residence and a 50-branch bank. Repeatable, documented, contractually committed.

  1. 01

    Risk assessment

    Senior technician on-site for half a day. Maps detection zones, identifies blind spots, photos every entry point. Output: detection plan + BoQ.

  2. 02

    Design + sign-off

    Within 3 working days: panel choice, sensor count, signalling path (cellular + IP), response SLA per zone, fixed-price BoQ.

  3. 03

    Install + commissioning

    3–5 working days. Panel programmed, sensors calibrated, every detection point tested with you present and signed off.

  4. 04

    90-day tuning

    False-alarm rate measured weekly for 90 days. Sensor sensitivity adjusted, masking zones added. Target: <2% nuisance rate.

  5. 05

    Ongoing monitoring + drills

    24/7 monitoring from Kololo TOC. Quarterly armed-response drill at random hours, response time logged.

Contractual SLA

The promises with numbers attached.

Every commitment below is in the engagement letter — measured, reported, and creditable to the client invoice if missed.

<15 min
Armed response within Kampala metro (median Q1 2026: 9.2 min)

Integrations

Plays nicely with your stack.

We don’t lock you into our portal. Your existing systems remain the source of truth.

  • KampalaGuards 24/7 monitoring centre (Kololo)
  • Video verification via existing CCTV (Hikvision / Dahua / Axis)
  • Smart-lock control (Yale, August, Salto) for armed-response entry
  • SMS + push escalation chain to up to 6 client contacts
What we do not provide

Honest scope.

We tell you what we don’t do — so you can scope it with the right partner.

  • Active fire-suppression systems (we recommend a specialist fire engineer)
  • Cyber-intrusion / IT security (separately scoped)
  • Replacement of legacy alarm panels older than 10 years (quoted separately)

Under 15 minutes within Kampala metropolitan area, 25 minutes in Entebbe and Mukono, and per-site SLAs in regional cities. Every dispatch is timestamped via our control-room software (Trackforce) and shared with the client monthly. Median response Q1 2026: 9.2 minutes.

We don't charge fines. We do a quarterly review of false-alarm rates with the client and tune the system at no cost — typically reducing false alarms by 80% within 90 days. Habitual false-alarm sites move to mandatory video verification before dispatch.

We install Paradox EVO, DSC PowerSeries Neo, Texecom Premier Elite, and Honeywell Galaxy. We can take over and monitor existing panels from any of these brands, plus most legacy systems via a Contact-ID receiver.

All panels have 12V/7Ah backup batteries (8–24h). Cellular signalling continues on internal SIM (MTN + Airtel dual-SIM). For critical sites we install solar-charged backup that runs the alarm and one camera continuously.

Yes — we hold a contractual right of entry (signed at install) and key safes / smart locks where required. For vaulted sites, only client-nominated supervisors hold keys; our team coordinates with the bank's protocol.
