AI SMS for UK Security System Contractor Companies

Each inbound text generates an instant branded reply carrying your company name. A facilities manager's maintenance text — 'annual service due on Texecom Elite 88, fifty-two PIRs, twelve mag contacts, sixteen Hikvision cameras need cleaning, Paxton Net2 firmware update, three sites, need completing before March' — is confirmed with the system components, camera count, service scope, and deadline intact. A homeowner's panic text — 'alarm going off, cannot silence it, Pyronix Enforcer, neighbours complaining' — triggers a response asking which zone is showing and whether the tamper indicator is lit.

Texts read like a security engineer reviewing messages between panel programming sessions — alarm-grade fluent, camera-resolution aware, and ARC-monitoring precise. References to Texecom zones, Hikvision NVR retention, Paxton access levels, Grade 2 monitoring, and police URN registration convey the NSI-approved knowledge that facilities managers and keyholder contacts expect.

Returning maintenance clients text system updates — 'zone 14 keeps triggering false alarms after hours, think it is the PIR near the heating vent' or 'new starter needs Paxton card adding to the access database.' The AI separates maintenance requests and user administration queries from prospective new installation enquiries on your dashboard.

AI SMS is £23/month as a channel add-on. A domestic alarm and CCTV package generates £1,500 to £4,000. Confirming one facilities manager's three-site annual service — while you commissioned a Paxton Net2 system in another building — secures recurring contract revenue that vastly exceeds the annual channel cost.

Send one reply and the AI withdraws from that conversation. During ARC paperwork, quotation writing, and office administration — handle texts yourself. During active panel programming, cable termination, and camera commissioning — when the laptop connects to the Texecom panel and zone labels need entering — let the AI manage the incoming messages.

Text messages containing premises addresses, alarm zone configurations, CCTV camera positions, access control credentials, ARC account details, police URN references, and contact numbers are encrypted and stored on UK and EU servers under UK GDPR. Data goes exclusively to you. Nothing reaches competing security firms or third-party platforms.

We never share, sell, or repurpose any data captured on your behalf. You maintain full control as the data controller, with the right to request deletion at any point.
