NSI- and SSAIB- accredited installers form a rapidly increasing share of RISCO’s customer base. The company has announced the arrival in the UK and Ireland of the first stock of its new integrated alarm, access control and video verification solution for the commercial and high-end residential projects sought by these installers.
Commercial end-users – including those in the office, logistics, retail, hospitality, and manufacturing sectors – increasingly demand access control. LightSYS+ Access Control integrates access control into the LightSYS+ scalable hybrid intruder alarm system, facilitating installations.
In projects with up to 32 doors, separate access control and intruder alarm systems are expensive and offer excessive functionality. The combined LightSYS+ Access Control solution provides a cost-effective alternative. Additionally, installers need only carry a small amount of stock and train their engineers to fit one product instead of two. LightSYS+ Access Control is backwards compatible, so installers can easily integrate it with existing LightSYS+ solutions.
Risco’s installer support services include training events, webinars and videos tailored to customer needs, and UK-based technical support. In addition, a concise product portfolio facilitates supply security.
RISCO’s UK and Ireland managing director, Mark Taylor, said, “Accredited installers account for a fast-growing share of our market, and we continue to work closely with them to identify ways to help support their businesses.
“High quality, cost-effective solutions to meet precisely the needs of UK and Ireland installers are always our goal, and never more so than now, as they and end-users try to operate profitably in the face of escalating inflation. But, unfortunately, some SMEs – and indeed high-end residential property owners – still regard premium security as a nice-to-have rather than a necessity. We are dedicated to helping our installers tackle this by offering affordable installations.”
RISCO supplies a portfolio of wired, wireless and hybrid solutions, including cloud-based, video monitoring and verification and connected home systems. A technological pioneer, the company was established in 1978 and became the first to introduce cloud-based solutions to the UK intruder alarm market.
