If you live in Barrow-in-Furness or the surrounding South Cumbria area, you’ll know how important it is to feel safe at home. Whether it’s protecting your family, your property, or just having peace of mind when you’re away, a reliable home security system makes all the difference.
At DAV – TV, Audio & Security Systems, we’ve seen a big rise in local homeowners choosing to upgrade from outdated burglar alarms to modern, smart security setups. The most popular choice? Ajax intruder alarms paired with Hikvision CCTV cameras.

Why Ajax Alarms?
Ajax alarms are designed to be simple, reliable, and smart – perfect for homeowners who don’t want to mess about with complicated tech.
Here’s why we recommend them for homes in Barrow and the South Lakes:
- Easy to use – arm/disarm with a tap on your phone or a fob
- Smart notifications – instant alerts if a sensor is triggered
- Neat design – slimline detectors and touch panels that look good in any home
Custom options – from motion detectors and door sensors to flood detectors for basements and garages

Why Pair with Hikvision CCTV?
A home alarm system is powerful on its own – but adding Hikvision CCTV cameras takes security up a level.
Benefits for homeowners include:
- Crystal-clear video – HD and 4K options mean you won’t miss a detail
- Day and night coverage – with infrared and colour-at-night cameras
- Remote access – check in from your phone wherever you are
- Full perimeter coverage – front doors, driveways, gardens, and side access points
Together, Ajax alarms and Hikvision CCTV create a complete home security system that’s reliable, discreet, and designed to last.

Local Example – A Recent Barrow Installation
Just last month, we fitted a full Ajax alarm and Hikvision CCTV system for a family in Barrow Island. They wanted to feel secure when working shifts and being away overnight.
We installed:
- Door and motion sensors throughout the house
- An Ajax touch panel by the front door
- Four Hikvision cameras covering the driveway, garden, and alleyway access
- App setup on both their phones for instant control and alerts
The client now has peace of mind that their home is fully protected – and they can check in anytime from their mobile.
